How do you explain the lack of structural black figure like MLK jr. and Malcom today?

[African Peasant]

Why this type of figure is not emerging while they are needed?

The context makes it impossible?

If one appeared y’all would probably dismiss him and claim anyone who follows him is looking for a father figure.

Because they haven’t been assassinated. Only I’m death does the accomplishments of a person become analyzed and glorified. Before MLK was shot he was looked at how Al Sharpton was in the 90s.

I believe there are a few who have good intentions, but the money and fame(clout and attention) makes it damn near impossible to stay on path.

Also, Pride is a muthafuka. Can’t lead when you don’t have the ability to be wrong or take the truth. Can’t be lead when you have too much pride and can’t take the truth

I swear on my life, I've seen someone call Tariq Nasheed the second coming of Jesus on here before

Couldn't exist nowadays in this society.

Malcolm X didn't even care about money

 

[Monsanto]

Why do we need a leader?

Because we don't have structure. This is what leaders do, implant structure and an outline for their people to follow. Our people are lost and oddly enough, turn up at the bottom of any meaningful stat within the west.

But its like Dr. Amos Wilson said, it won't be a matter of not knowing that the work needs to be done, rather it will be because you don't want to. That is why we don't have leaders.
