The worst thing that could happen, as far as race-baiting scoundrels like Bond, Jackson, Mfume etal are concerned, is for Black Americans to rightfully conclude that the so-called Black "leadership" has been an anchor around the necks of American Blacks for the last thirty years. The sooner they realize that their progress comes from themselves and their families and not from glory-seeking and filthy lucre-chasing mountebanks like the afore-mentioned scalawags, the better off they'll be.

Bond, Jackson, Mfume

What a threesome. I heard a while back that Julian Bond had a cocaine habit. Could anyone verify this ?

"lucre-chasing mountebanks like the afore-mentioned scalawags"

Good thing you didn't call them scurrilous blackguards; that would have opened you up to the ignorant who consider "niggardly" a racial epithet.
