Well fellar. if your attitude ia a reflection of the quest by blacks for first class citizenship, then prodding you and others of your mindset to do something positive to enhance your stature will inevitably go to nought. It appears as though eating the scraps from your master's table is your forte, so go for it. It is clear that there is no concerted effort, no plan, no vision other than waiting for massa to empower you out of his own generosity. To that I say you shall never be free, never. When someone gives you something they can always take it back, when you earn it, it is yours to keep and that includes freedom. Are you free or do you simply enjoy reading about freedom? I am sure that there are black community leaders in your ghettos, why do you not recognize them? Are you waiting for massa to tell you that there are black leaders in the US and then identify them for you? Get a grip on reality and do not get amnesia between submissions, please.
