[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hopefully, the AA leaders that will be front and center in the next few years will not condone this looting behavior.  To be honest, this behavior simply reinforces stereotypes and does nothing at all to advance the discussion.  It is shameful.  [/quote]

Speaking of reinforcing stereotypes, one of the more prevalent stereotypes out there that just irritates the hell out of me is the notion that of that there exists some mythical black leader who speaks for all black people.  
NEWSFLASH:  That is some straight up bullshit.  There is no office called “Black Leader.”  No one was ever elected as the leader of the black people — not Jesse Jackson, not Al Sharpton, not Oprah Winfrey, not anyone! 
Black people are not monolithic.  They are as diverse as any other American ethnic group.  They are Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, and Independent.  They are liberal, conservative, moderate, concerned or indifferent, rich, middle-class, and poor; and they have the same leadership as the rest of America — the President of the United States and the United States Congress.  Blacks do not have separate leaders who speak for us.
Can we dispense with that dumb ass stereotype please?

Probably not. The same people Who spout on about black leaders are the same people who would scream "Gloria Steinem doesn't speak for me. All women are not the same." Or "the kkk doesn't speak for me!" It's very hypocritical and most of these peeps are blind to it. [/quote]

Then WHY has no one outwardly told Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson to shut the fuck up and go home? Because last time I checked they've stood at the podium of every black race fueled case I've seen in my entire lifetime. [/quote]

Actually the folks in Ferguson did say just that.[/quote]

Why was Al Sharpton standing next to the parents of Michael Brown during their press conference?[/quote]
