Why the black 'community' and what is it?

When blacks weren't able to vote - they created 'community leaders'. Usually they were highly respected members of the clergy or business. It was necessary because they were unable to elect leaders. It was a good solution to a bad problem.

But in the 60's the concept of 'community' was changed for the sake of liberal elites - people who pulled the power strings in black neighborhoods. Because black communities tended to be conservative at that time, blacks elected the same types of natural leaders. Liberal elites did NOT connect well with conservative black leaders. To undercut the power of elected conservative leaders in black communities, liberals came up with the idea that the 'leaders' in the community would NOT be elected - but 'appointed' by liberal elites. The REAL power went to outrageous poverty pimps and loud violent groups like the black panthers.

Self appointed poverty pimps like Jesse Jackson took over. Money flowed from liberal elites to self appointed blacks who yelled the liberal elite line. Up until the 60's blacks had stable marriages, strong work ethics, and were grounded in 'guns and religion' like other conservatives.

Liberal elites supported blacks who pushed socialist/victim-hood lines - ideas that had little to do with American black culture before the 1960;s - and that's why we have the mess we have today with dependency, flash mobs, criminal behaviors, kids who can't read etc...
