Black Leaders for Bush

Newsmax is about as credible as FoxNews, but this story is interesting:

Top Black Leaders: Why We Back Bush

Top black leaders have taken to the pages of the Wall Street Journal to support the re-election of President Bush.

Writing in the Journal, former congressman J.C. Watts, Maryland's Lt. Gov. Michael Steele, Ohio's Lt. Gov. Jennette Bradley, Ohio's Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell, and Michael Williams, a Texas Railroad Commissioner, explained why their fellow blacks need to throw their support to the president.


I think this has been discussed before, but it begs the question: what exactly is a black leader, and how does one become one? I have nothing against these individuals personally, and I don't even begrudge them their political leanings, but I'd still like to know how they became "leaders".
