I've been a bit weary of Jesee (sic) and Rev. Al and his kitchen-azz conk for some time. But I do blame the media, which are lazy. It's tough for me as someone who is in "mainstream" media, but it's a reflex of laziness. You need someone black and big -- go to the Revs.

I think a leader is needed in our community again because when we have a leader that represent forward movement and positive reaction, we (as a community) tend to push for change as a collective body. There are not many people that have been able to move our race in a positive way to effect change. That is what is needed. Until then we will just complain and talk about what we don't like but will not move or act on it, collectively. For instance, voting. That is something we fought so hard to be able to do and now that we have the right, we don't participate in it but that is a whole other post. Pardon my tangent, please.
