If not conscious Blacks, then who?
No other "type" of Black person is of a forward, progressive mind- all while having the Black community's best interests front and foremost at heart- like the conscious brother or sister.
And let's take a moment and set the conditions for "conscious". Let's just say that it includes any Black person who isn't on any PC #newBlack type connery.
It's any Black person who recognizes that yes, we have problems amongst ourselves, but injustices by those outside of the Black community (pig scum police) will not be tolerated.
The conscious Black is no crab in the barrel, he's/she's also no 'street thug', and definitely isn't involved in "the Black church" - the biggest dumbing-down tool and subsequent "consciousness blocker", the Black community faces today.
I could go on further, but let's just say those are the general conditions for the conscious Black. Without that type of brother or sister in the struggle for progression what are you left with? You're left with the c00n, the crab in the barrel, and the apathetic.
None of which are fit for forward movement.
