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

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.

I totally agree with what you say.

My point of mentioning new leaders was because, the likes of Jesse Jackson are a big influence on some in the black community. And to be honest, they are not helping.

That's all fine and well, and I agree, but the resurgence and renaissance in Black America will be well aided by breaking up a few of the left-wing plantations such as the all-powerful public teachers union that protects bad teachers and bloats the bureaucracy with administation staff, as well as wastes time and effort on worthless slogan-eering.

Vouchers for parents to choose the schools for their children will break up the public school teachers unions and end the decaying urban educational system.

Banning most abortions, or at least making them unpopular via the ubiquitous use of pre-natal ultrasound images, will likewise slow or even reverse the degradation and harm caused by urban moral abandon.

Doing these two things will help all Americans, too.
