The black community needs new leadership that actually wants them to succeed

Best known as the bullhorn-toting, baseball-bat-wielding principal of the rough Eastside High School in Patterson, N.J., from 1983 to 1990, Clark was the subject of the hit movie Lean On Me, starring Morgan Freeman. A former Army drill instructor with a bachelor's degree from William Paterson College and a master's in administration supervision and doctorate equivalence from Seton Hall University, Clark sees education as a mission. After only two years of his hard-nosed leadership at Eastside High, the formerly raucous institution was declared a model school by New Jersey's governor, and Clark himself was named one of the nation's 10 "Principals of Leadership" in 1986.

No, we don't.

I know you truly mean well, Mo1. But you have swallowed Leftist thinking hook, line and sinker.

There is absolutely no need for another Frederick Douglas, Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. DuBois (ick!), MLK, Jr., Malcolm X, Farrakhan, Je$$e, or Al $harpton. Selfish selflessness is the only avenue out. Sounds like an oxymoron, doesn't it? Well, it isn't.

If American blacks want their rightful place in American society, they must act as Americans act. Every other American must treat us like they would any other American.

NO excuses. NO comprimising the American spirit. NO hyphenation. America for Americans and all that she offers.

It's just that plain and simple.
