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

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.

This is the answer. A lot of you on this WS infested board would have been saying that MLK was a grifter and Malcolm X was a hotep.

Too many grifters. MLK era civil rights activists felt that shyt in their hearts. Too many modern era c00ns use their platforms for profit going back to Jessie Jackson.

Rev Goodlove…I mean Sharpton had a complete career based on being the spokesman for black america. Flipped that shyt into a TV show just like the Boondocks predicted he would.

MLK and Malcolm X came along before the voting rights act. Post voting rights act we actually have people whose job it is to represent us. How well they do that is another thread.

People would constantly bring up the mistakes that person made as a youth. And people would want that person to fight for everybody else shyt on some intersectionality bullshyt instead of just for black people.

Malcolm X would suffer the worst from this. Was mixed (the movie showed that his mom was white), was a prostitute, AS a prostitute allegedly engaged in gay sex, and was a Muslim.

That’s four groups just off that bat.

Why do we need a leader?

Are you implying that we have our shyt together as a group?

A group would not need a leader if they were fine and functioning properly.

I say our group is pretty far from functioning properly.

Therefore, a leader is needed to get us to where we claim we want to be.

Same reason an orchestra needs a conductor for their music to sound right

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.

Too many voices to listen to and too much access to people is the problem. There will never be another Michael Jackson, Michael Jordan or Prince because we have way to much access to every celebrity. There was a mystique about them. Now we know weather they eat ass for intimacy or kiss in the mouth?

Also, there were like 2 news stations so when you heard something you took if for what it was and gossiped with your friends about it. Now the tv and your phone does the gossiping. So long as there’s all these things competing for our attention there will be no organized movement going forward. No matter what it is.

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.
