We don't need another MLK or more Bill Cosby's, we need people to use their brains and stop waiting to be "led" somewhere.... likewise it would be nice if the media or whomever would stop telling the black community who it's leaders are..... or are not.....
I used the term "leader" loosely... Maybe to say "influential people" that speak for a certain group of people would be better. Sharpton and Jackson and the type speak for the black community whether you want them to or not. They may not express what you believe but that does not matter to them and the problem is they are viewed as "official" spokesmen for the black community. How did they get to this position? I don't really know... But this whole Jena 6 fiasco is proof that they still have a very large influence, maybe more than you would like.
