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

[Will Ross]

It’s no one singular goal anymore.

Leaderless resistance - Wikipedia

A central figure can be corrupted or assassinated. Al qaeda folded when osama got merc'd. They lost their charismatic figure. ISIS persisted despite not having a central figure. Modern white supremacists don't have a leader and have been growing in strength. You're losing if you have a central figure in your movement.

I mean antifa and BLM don't have central figures, even if BLM tried to incorporate in some sense, and those all get hate, even here

I dont think the difference between the two is the leader but more of the ideology that ties them together. White supremacists don't need a central leader because all of their main goals will align no matter who leads or says what

And several white supremacists have became leaders that essentially disappear but the group still functions as an ideology. Pound boys, the vice founders group, Milo, Stefan molyneux, etc

The cointelpro was right tbh. That shyt literally never stopped and unfortunately, we're even prone to picking it up and being infiltrated

Russia and Black Lives Matter - Wikipedia

And knowing just how successful Russia was and still is, ppl have to be blind to think American isn't/wasn't doing it too.

See the black Americans that have been harassed and arrested for starting movements to train other black people in self defense, firearm training, etc while white people are literally building milita farms in the PNW and down south openly and have been for years.

Couldn't exist nowadays in this society.

Malcolm X didn't even care about money

Too many clout demons, vultures, leeches, money hungry bums out there. People drank the koolaid of Capitalism. Everyone wants to drive European cars and rock Euro fashion to stunt on poor black folks .

Both men came from the structure of religious doctrine (Christianity and Islam), which now has been abandoned by the community.

I seen black churches closing down because young black women of Gen Z skip church for those drunk Sunday Funday brunches nowadays

When you see black women drop out of church, its a problem.

heroes can't exist in the presence of the truth

in the past character flaws could be hidden

now we know everyone is flaw

& thus it is a wrap

[Sonic Boom of the South]

Imagine needing an explanation for this

Obtuse like a trolling cac

 

[Wild self]

Because the Black Church created most of the leaders. Or had a heavy hand in it

The black church is mostly dead for ppl under 40. And doesn't have anywhere close to the same influence as it did the 1900s

Also there's no money in it unless you join the Diversity / LGBT movement. You'd be on YouTube/ IG begging for donations

The next great unapologetically Black leaders will be an already wealthy, top 0.01% dude who alrrady has $20 million and doesn't have to worry about being cancelled

Pretty much, Gucci Mane in a Pastor robe.

No they don’t…no one looks at the conductor. If everyone knows their part they don’t need a conductor that’s why most live music doesn’t have a conductor. I’m a musician play trombone, baritone, and bass guitar. Everyone has to be the leader…we all have to be Malcolm.

Find me an example of a large group of musicians working without a conductor.

Not a band but a sho nuff orchestra or symphony.

And a band has the DRUMMER to follow.

Most people are idiots Breh.

Shout out to the black church, and our religious elders

Great men and women, who have done tons to move us forward. They’re who I aspire to be. I hate how this current group is so individualistic and have turned their back on the Lord

 

[DaHNIC82]

They would have been hated today

 

[ISO]

was a prostitute, AS a prostitute allegedly engaged in gay sex

Nah this didn’t happen

 

[Renegade47]

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

The context makes it impossible?

everytime we had a figure or an org they got shut down. even before blm took off you had grassroots activist like darren seales putting in work but him and his people got killed and nobody seemed to give a fukk.

To divided, too spread out, too worried about fitting in with whites, too many wannabe internet gurus with a platform, too much false information

and the propaganda machine now has the ability to create reality out of lies.

People KEEP underestimating the dangers of hyper realism and this internet shyt.

Word of mouth was bad enough back in the day. But now you can literally be one person saying a lie on the internet and make it a whole nationwide trend by making multiple accounts and liking your posts. It ain’t gotta be true. It ain’t gotta be verified. It’s just gotta be on the internet. I was just in a thread about SZA (who isn’t a leader btw) and one dude saying she had trains back in the day has been taken as absolute truth by some people.

Only a fraction of Americans are active on social media. But as serious as people take posts with handfuls of likes, you’d think every single American was a social media user.

we put more stock into virtual reality than actual reality.

Trying to maintain actual leadership in a Sword Art Online metaverse is unsustainable.
