ARTICLE: Time For Old Black Leadership To Resign

[2kool]

I suggest that he and every other Old Black Leader should resign, because the current condition of Black African Americans is a direct result of their poor leadership. They have failed to produce a plan for our uplift and empowerment. They have served as the “ straw bosses ” serving us up ( votes ) election after election, while living high off the hog from donations to their organizations, speaking fees and conferences. I personally have contacted Rev. Jesse Jackson’s Organizations offering solutions like The Quiet Resolution ( TQR, Inc. ) http://www.tqrinc.com and other civil rights organizations, including Black Elected Politicians and Preachers to discuss solutions without a response. They ignore those of us offering national solutions.

They have violated our trust. “ Black Faces In High Places ” from The White House to the local Church have completely failed to uplift and empower us, but instead, they have helped to maintain Black African Americans in our current conditions. They show up when a tragedy happens for the cameras, town hall meeting and to call for calm, but disappear back into the holes they hide in the rest of the time. It is time that they all resign and allow others with the moral courage to step up to lead our people in the 21st Century as they once did during the 20th Century.

The article also proposes solutions.

I think our primary problem is that our old leaders are not passing the torch in time. Meaning, before they reach dementia or die.

Quick question.... whose leaders are those? It's not 1963 anymore so I never pretended like I lived in that era. I systematically went out, competed against ALL and DOMINATED ALL regardless of ethnicity , to ascend the ranks and continue to flourish w/ these others like self's level, at this current level for well over 2+ decades now consecutively w/out a break. So, again I ask, whose leaders are those, for those descendants like self?

I think a lot of people missed the boat (pun intended) and continue to (mentally) live like this is a segregated american society lol. Jeeeeezus. smh

This article is nothing more than a hit piece from someone or some group that has sour grapes. If that is their passion and livelihood, I see no reason to resign. The greater question is why hasn't anyone else emerged? The main characteristic of a true leader is the ability to create even more leaders. I never considered Jesse or Al as "Black Leaders"....they are activists, that's all. And whether I agree with what they do or not, I see no reason for them to stop doing what they're doing.
