We need a chief executive who can artfully make the compelling case to the country that we continue to be unfairly and unconstitutionally subjugated.
Every so often, an incident symptomatic of deeper issues triggers a release valve for collective despair. The killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., sparked a movement much larger than concerns about the aggressive policing of black men. The marches and protests are a larger commentary about the economic and societal disenfranchisement of black people and the response to Brown’s death is a coalescing event, sounding the latest clarion call for America to revisit her unresolved original sin.
But movements need leaders. And while this one certainly has organizers doing important work, it is missing the critical element that black America has not produced for some time: a national, unifying figure. Black America needs its own presidential figurehead—a chief executive who can artfully make the compelling case to the country that we are unfairly and unconstitutionally subjugated. A case that needs to have a face and voice with which the nation can interact, associate and, in theory, negotiate.
Though familiar faces take the mantle in times of uncertainty or calamity, none are the embodiment of the larger, enduring and unrelenting cause. In a survey last year, a plurality of black Americans (40 percent) said there is no leader who speaks (pdf) for them. Even when familiar names were presented, such as the Rev. Jesse Jackson or current Congressional Black Caucus members, only 1 in 10 felt these leaders were adequately giving voice to their issues. The most popular name was the Rev. Al Sharpton, but there is a growing sentiment that his vision and approach lack currency....

When I traveled in Eastern Europe in the early 1990s, I’d make occasional stop at the U.S. Consulates. In Poland and Romania, people lined up by dozens waiting for the opportunity to obtain a visa to come to this country. In Romania, especially, young people approached me asking for sponsorship to speed the process for them. These were bright, educated college grads with technical skills.
And here we are... we have these useless eaters whining about wanting a blacker president.
Again, I’m all for them having their black-run country—again, one time payment—if we get our white one. Caveat-when it all turns to Detroit/Haiti/South Africa/every black run entity in history-they don’t get a “do-over” at our expense. It’s all theirs.
It can’t be any other way,if they insist upon black everything. they are app 1& of this country, they f up everything they run, and they want to run everything. They want anything majority black to “reflect the community”, then they want to horn into the right of freedom of association of whites. They want it all-except we pay for it.
Who’s the slave? Do we need CWII to free the whites?
Boy who cries wolf, I am sick of thier sh## enough already! If tomorrow they all decided to go back to Africa, Africa would close it’s doors immediatley, they are a burden a generational burden they chose to be
We should never have started to appease them in the first place. Justice was one thing, and was accomplished long ago. They’ve been clutching at straws for decades, now the “white privilege” BS, because they have no other string to their bow than white guilt and the race card. Absolutely no other. This is shown to be the case in every black-run polity on earth.
Nailed it.
“I agree with them. We should separate.”
If they were given some kind of parallel state, what would be the geographical boundaries? The separation that should take place is those dissenters returning to the bosom of their origins.. Africa.
Yeah, we all know their horrible behavior is never their fault and always blamed on other made up factors. Whitey gets a lot of blame because it is so convenient for them.
White liberal guilt that enables that is a mental disorder.
The bigoted and racist author of the article says so himself.
none are the embodiment of the larger, enduring and unrelenting cause
White leftist guilt is evil on par with Stalinist Russia and the Holocaust. They are determined to genocide the white race, already a tiny minority of the population globally, off the face of the earth. Hope they’re the last whites standing, and they last long enough to get a good taste of a world without whites, other than them.
It seems to me that the Black community already has its own President and he is Barak Obama.
Blacks don't neeed anything except self discipline. They are the only race to be enslaved and never raise themselves to a better existence.
I’ve read about that. It’s a little known fact that Rosa Parks had ties to the Communist Party USA, and that the bus incident wasn’t the spontaneous action of a poor tired woman, but was planned in advance in cooperation with the Commies.
(It’s also not well-known, or at least well-remembered, that she was robbed and assaulted by a “brother” in Detroit, who was later also caught in the act of robbing a Catholic church, and bragged about being the one who robbed Parks when he was caught.)
PROPERTY REQUIREMENT FOR VOTING
REPEAL THE 17th AMENDMENT
The are free to head back to Liberia...there they can have all the freedom they want, they can have their own pResident too
Those who want their own culture need to leave and go to a country that has the culture they want.
Blacks who want their own country need to go to Liberia.
It's a damn shame .
Great Americans like Jackie Robinson, who was a Republican, helped to smash racism, and then here comes the CPUSA, relentlessly agitating for racial disharmony in America and succeeding in bringing race relations back to pre civil war levels.
The CPUSA must be destroyed.
That ‘subjugated’ nonsense really pisses me off.
With all the wealth transfers today,
JUST WHO IS ‘SLAVE’ TO WHOM?
