For better or worse apparently black rappers carry weight within the black community.

Other blacks who are admired are also weighing in on the failures of the Democrat Party (e.g., Herschel Walker). Their views are getting some traction.

I have never understood the need for a very large percentage of the black community to look to (usually self-appointed) so-called “leaders” in order to decide how to think or how to vote. I do understand that most people (of any racial or ethnic group) are not deep thinkers, mainly because they are just too busy trying to live life - either that or because they just don’t care), but this seems to be much more prevalent in the black community. Perhaps this is a function of how effective the Democrats have been in building a virtual plantation for blacks to replace the actual plantations of the slavery era, because providing a crappy education for blacks for decades on end (i.e. permanently) is part and parcel of being able to build that plantation and keep people on it willingly.

Whatever the reason for the black community having this tendency to need or listen to “leaders,” I understand (as a Jew) that the road from slavery is about more than simply physically leaving some place or literally cutting off your chains - it is AT LEAST as much of a mental and emotional change as it is a physical one. The Jews had leaders (Moses and Aaron), and it still took 40 years and the passing of every adult who had been a slave, for the slave mentality to disappear. But for ALL of that 40 years, the Egyptians had no influence over what the Jews did. For the black community, that has not been the case - they’ve lived for they last 155 years in the same society as the Collectivist Democrats, and often those former slaveowners (sometimes literally, most often just attitudinally) were in charge of large parts of our society...so I guess that it is a lot more understandable why it has taken so long. So if the rappers, Hershel Walker and other black leaders (or people of great influence) have to lead their people “out of Egypt,” I as a human being am glad that this process seems to be beginning. Perhaps, after the long and sordid last several hundred years of slavery, Jim Crow and the virtual plantation, the time has come that most of the black community will be fully cured of the slave mentality, and will think and act for themselves. I welcome this, and hope that I live long enough to see this process to its full fruition.
