This refers to Mr. Gladney, who was roughed up outside the town hall meeting in St. Louis.

Not very activist of the NAACP, is it?

<B>ST. LOUIS </B>-- An African-American social networking group set out Monday morning to criticize the city NAACP chapter for not getting behind a black man who said he was beaten outside a forum on aging earlier this month. But their efforts were cut short when the head of the civil rights group showed up at the news conference and said that no one had asked the NAACP to investigate the claims.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/news/stories.nsf/stlouiscitycounty/story/C57BC4F4A5AFA534862576150073211E?OpenDocument"><DIV>
"The St. Louis branch of the NAACP will and does accept and investigate all written complaints filed with us, regardless of the complainant’s ideology," said Claude Brown Sr., president of the St. Louis City NAACP. "We regret that a group has decided to protest outside our office before contacting us or filing such a complaint."
