The Criteria of a Black Leader
He had hair of lamb’s wool and feet of burnt brass, Jesus the revolutionary. The Bible says he died for your sins, that you may have ever lasting life. Think about it…say you contract AIDS by living a promiscuous life, did Jesus die for that sin or did you?
Jesus was killed, by the rulers of that time, for the truth he spoke. Which gave you life from a mental death that had been imposed upon you by White supremacy. Before He was killed, he said to his followers “You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free’.
Well, I can speak from experience on this, because when I came into the true knowledge of self, my rich culture that stemmed from Africa, our language, our culture, our heritage, our religion (way of life) and God, my mind became free from the inferior mind complex that has been imposed upon us by White supremacy. Now I see, and hear things I did not notice before... is this the resurrection of the dead?
Look black people, we have black leaders all over this country, our condition has not been made any better and never will be with a black manager of a white reality. If you don’t play the game… they get rid of you. The question here is… do you really have something when you have a black politician assimilated into a anglo power structure? He has no power - only the power they allow them to have.
If you are a Black leader in this country, and your life is not being threatened – on a daily basis - then you are not effective for the liberation of Black people.

So true. This is why McKinney is being assassinated in the media. She will not play the game.
@Cyntthia,Yep thats the way its set up, for us to work within the system, not to change it..
Interesting point. I wonder though, If the 'black leader' won't really act as a spokesman, and will be outside the system, what he can offer as far as ledership? What is you view of the role of a black "leader"?
Sonnyredd...That is the entire point. What has the "system" ever done for black people except work to annihilate them?
A black "leader" working inside the "system" is impotent. The equivalent of a "house (no pun intended but..interesting huh?) nig*er".
People of color, black & brown, need to unite and form their own "system".
That being said, I have reached the point that I don't ever see it happening. The black man has fallen in love with his oppressor and the crumbs from his table.
He has lost his belief in his own omnipotence and elevated position as the true original man and has abdicated his rightful place in the human family.
