Is the NAACP relevant in 2009?

I think the NAACP is irrelevant in 2009. Its national headquarters are located in NW Baltimore, just a 40-45 minute drive from my house, yet I NEVER think of it. Ever. I never ever even consider that organization, which is pretty bad because I'ma Black man. When racial shit comes up I think about Al and Jesse, not Benjamin Todd Jealous. I never see the NAACP out and about in my community or in places I frequent. If it's represented so shitily in the city where it's headquateres Besides, that organization was emasculated years ago.

Am I off base or or you with me? Does the NAACP still play a significant role in Black and Brown America?
