As a black man I think that we as individuals need to responsibility for ourselves! Why do we need someone to lead us? I'm doing fine without Jesse Jackson (sucks) and Alan West (great man)!

I never hear the word white leadership!

I agree with you. It seems that it is the Media who chooses the spokesmen for the entire Black population of America. It’s not just the Libs, but the blabber Hannity and other Fox Media folks. So, why do they do choose these who they choose when there are plenty of good men and women to hear from? I think we have our answer right there. Outrageousness = Ratings!

An excellent point, a free man/woman needs no one to lead them, they think and act for themselves, not depend on anyone to do that for them.

That point is lost on most in the media and academia. Although I am a white woman, I need no one’s leadership in my own life, there are those I look up to and admire, but I am free and make my own way, within the bounds of my faith and the law.

It’s so sad, that in some ways, some in the black community still feel the need to follow these “leaders” rather than have the courage to strike out on their own. That kind of courage is admired by most but not by those who wish to keep them bound. Hopefully, soon there will be an awakening in their community.
