OK, good points. Let's say that given those who claim to be the leaders of the black community left to their own (with a cooperating media) become mugabe wannabe's. Unfortunately, Rice, Thomas, Marshall, and such are not elected officials. They have been appointed by people with outstanding judgment. That being said, the Jackson's, Farrakhan's, Mckinney's, Barry's, Berry's, Mfume's, Lee's, have a duty to lead as of people of substantial achievement like those you referenced. But sadly they do not. They are not racists, they are just power hungry shakedown artists who bank on the fact that they can operate that way because they are black and therefore beyond any scrutiny of their actions. Mugabe is not racist either. If anyone had wealth he could pillage, if they were black, white, asian or purple, it would make no difference.
If my blanket statements offend you, for that I apologise. I would think that the actions from the crud I mentioned above do not offend you more, I hope you give it some more thought, as will I.
Absolutely, the obscene actions of McKinney, Jackson, et al offend me. The fact that you post a rational response with a sincere apology shows that you are
1) not a racist, but someone who let their anger briefly get the better of them, and
2) a stand-up guy.
I've had to apologize on this forum also.
