I guess it is difficult for me to carry on a conversation with someone who is clearly not educated about the black community. Those "subdued" leaders that you reference are the ones that have the real mobilizing power within our communities. Reverend Jeremiah A. Wright is given more credence that Al Sharpton by most of the people that I know ("educated" or "uneducated," rich or poor)--but you probably don't have any idea who that is.
Go and talk to some black people (interesting proposition hunh). Ask them who their leaders are, who mobilizes them to action--better yet, listen too what the black people who post here are saying--and then reevaluate your notion of black community leadership, because it is wrong.
But I guess we probably can't tell you that because our experience doesn't mean anything in the face of your "supposed" empirical evidence.
