Here in St. Petersburg, Omali Yeshitela and his minions set the bar for blackness during the 1960s. Since then, if selected blacks disagree with him or choose to live a mainstream life, they immediately become something less than black or less African.

Wonder who those selected black are??? Anyone maybe who is taking steps to stop bringing the black man down????

It's an interesting column. I'd like to think Maxwell is pointing to Blacks who constantly divide to hold onto a power base, not caring about the general state of Blacks. Interesting to me too was the two student unions. I wonder if the Black Caucus and things like the Black Firefighters' Associations are leftovers from a time when Blacks didn't want their views sanctioned by predomininently White organizations. I hope this is a sign we're starting to move away from this.
