I wish we had real civil rights leaders now

[Formerly Black Trash]

insyead of what we got

What happened?

I'm guessing there probably are they just not in the limelight

 

[PhonZhi]

Alot of black people aren't "awake" and dont even see a problem unlike back then, EVerything used to be out in the open, so it was obvious what had to be fought for. We're hella comfortable now.

 

[Mess World]

Everyone sold out

The nation
Jesse Jackson
Both sold out

Sharpton was never in the radar during the 60s it wasn't till the 80s people knew about him


Panthers got hit
Weather underground got hit
De Mau Mau (I think that's their name but they repped the Mau Mau rebels in Africa in NY)got hit
All we got is some fake ass panthers and Hebrews

Don't wish for a leader, be a leader.

 

[Formerly Black Trash]

Don't wish for a leader, be a leader.

I don't have those qualities

 

[Isaiah Bradley]

lol. folks are shytting on current leaders, but defending street terrorist
folks are demanding change, but not wanting to dedicate time and money to black-agenda based orgs/thinkthanks
Remember, when Malcom X died, how many black churches or black folks stepped up to bury that man with honor?

 

[CinnaSlim]

Be the leader we need, not the leader we deserve.

 

[CinnaSlim]

Don't wish for a leader, be a leader.

Beat me to it.

 

[Drones]

I'm ok with us not having a leader. Every time we have one he just ends up getting popped by a 'crazed lone gunman.' It's better for us to just get on the same page without being lead by any one individual that can get killed.

I respect this. Not everybody was meant to be a leader. Real soldiers are just as important

 

[BmoreGorilla]

America ain't having that shyt basically. There haven't been any real black leaders since the 60s. We gave that away with Civil Rights. Government was basically like:

Yall wanna be equal?

So we'll just flood your community with drugs and neglect


And there's no way we can have one today. Too many chiefs and not enough Indians. Everybody has a voice.

And if for some odd reason someone was to "emerge" as some kind of black leader I'm almost 80% sure he'd be gay

Cosign this. I don't think many Black folks are ready for the direction in which Black people as a collective need to go. It would be interesting to see how Black people would fair if there was some sort of "extremist" Black leader, with fanatical support, present today.

[Apollo Creed]

Be Grown and want leaders brehs

There are plenty of Elders if you need advice, but if you looking for someone else to lead you then you deserve whatever comes to you.
