I appreciate Al for thinking he is a “black leader” but to me he is just another old fashioned Southern Baptist, stuck in tradition, conk wearing, negro spiritual singing, man. I wanna see some new faces and I want them to stop talking in interviews like they just got off the fields. I know that was harsh but it’s 2008. Where are the professional black men that work in the fourtune 500 companies? Or doctors, lawyers, historians, etc. etc.?

What the hell has Al really done ? Other than ride the wave of great men before or around him. And you can’t justify how many of us are or aren’t bettering our race. You don’t know just because we’re not always in front of the cameras. It’s easy in a 10,000 suit on national T.V., but come do it where I live in the Dirty dirty South.

With all your reading and degree(s), Graphixmeister, are you sharing your “knowledge” with all those around you? Or are you keeping it to yourself? Too many of us educated African-Americans only use our skills to help ourselves, only worry about the man in the mirror. But we should be helping those who aren’t as learned and fortunate and be defenders of our community when social issues arise. You can knock Rev Al and other Black leaders all you want, but these are brave men as they put themselves in harms way when they are outspoken about things that White Amerikkka despises–like affirmative action & racial equality. Even all of you haters would hail Rev Al as the G.O.A.T. if he could pull off Reparations for us Black folk, so don’t be a hypocrite by picking & choosing when to support him & others. CONSISTENTLY support our Black leaders!

And my response was to those other two sleepwalkers, not you Phoenix. I just hope ALL of my people (and then some) register to vote and FIND A REASON to vote for Obama. Its a sad day when we can’t even trust one of our own to lead us and would rather turn the keys over to that Other man–just because he ain’t one of us. Slavery has permanently damaged a lot of us, but I still have hope that we will do the right thing when the time comes.

Oh, I get it, you expect a person to be perfect to be a leader, huh? Flawless, right? You probably can’t name one organization that has one of those– not your church, not your family, h*ll not even our country! Did you “elect” Bush? I didn’t, but still he leads. Like or not, agree or don’t, Rev Sharpton is a leader in the Black community. We don’t have to agree with all of his speeches, but as long as he is taking a stand for my people then he should be supported. And if you chose not to, that’s fine too, but don’t discredit him just because you disagree. We need folk like him to be loud & visible to keep the folk in power in check. Think about that as you go about your day tomorrow as if not for the activities of him & folks like him you azz would still be ridin in the back of the bus! Amazing how “Divide & Conquer” is still relevant today.

I don’t believe everything I hear, nor read, and sometimes what I see. I treat situations like this, the same way I do about giving money to the homeless. I give because it is right in the eyes of God. Now if that person is not truly in need, and just greedy then that is up to God to deal with. I have no heaven or hell to put anyone in. I don’t always agree with Al, however, I will say that he has done more for the movement of justice that all of us posting put together. Now whether he is shady or not let God deal with him, because only He has the power to do so anyway.

This reminds me of a chapeter that I was reading I think in The Power of a Praying Woman, or The Secret Things of God. It said something to the effect of how people believe everything they hear in the media, but will doubt scriptures in the Bible.

Its about f*ckin’ time!

Theres no such thing as “black leaders” unless i elected his ass to lead me, which I havent!

Rev Al and Jesse can see the cops rape, shoot then arrest your ass right in front of them, but unless you agree to financial terms with these mofo’s youre just some raped, dead or arrested n*gga for them to step over on their way to see their illegitimate kids (Jesse)

Yeah-yeah-yeah, you can take that tripe to somebody else who hasn’t opened a book in a while and is vulnerable to whatever misinformation you want to spew because you do it without misspellings. Jesse lost my respect back in the 60′s after he ran towards MLK’s corpse to cradle it so he could get the blood all over his shirt. He wanted to look like Jackie Kennedy for the cameras. I don’t put any confidence in either of those characters – Jackson or Sharpton. I do my homework and, at the very least, I expect integrity from my ‘leaders.’ I’m college-educated so you can keep stepping along – find another gullible fool to sell that to. Believe whatever works for you. I think it’s you that need to wake up.

And why ya’ll on Jesse so bad? Yeah, he cheated, but so did Clinton and my people’s still love his stankin’ azz! His infidelity has nothing to do with his lifetime of accomplishments for our people, that does not make him a hypocrite. Ya’ll need to learn to forgive as the Good Book says or YOU the hypocrite. If it were true that only he without sin could cast the first stone then most of these blogs wouldn’t exist!
