"NAACP" stands for the "National Association for the Advancement of Colored People". So, since we are all "colored", it must be for everyone! (Just kidding.) It is a civil rights group that was trying to correct some wrongs; they were trying to level the playing field. But, like labor unions, sometimes they go too far.
Here is what Wikipedia says:
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (usually abbreviated as NAACP) is one of the oldest and most influential civil rights organizations in the United States.[1] The NAACP was founded on February 12, 1909 by a diverse group composed of W.E.B. Du Bois (African American), Ida Wells-Barnett (African American), Henry Moscowitz (Jewish), Mary White Ovington (White), Oswald Garrison Villard (German-born White), and William English Walling (White, and son of a former slave owning family [2]) [3], to work on behalf of the rights of African Americans. Its name, retained in accord with tradition, is one of the last surviving uses of the term "colored people". The group is based in Baltimore, Maryland.
