50 Years Later, Panther Moment, Legacy Revisited

Rawls-Ivy says that black people are not in the rooms where decisions are made. Her statement simply is not true. There are black people on the Yale Corporation, black people in the state cabinet, black people dominate NHPS's administration (in spite of being a distinct minority of faculty), we have had black mayors, police chiefs, fire chiefs, etc. The Secretary of OPM is a black woman. Kurt Schmoke, who in 1968 was protesting outside the Brewsters' house (only to be invited in and served cookies by Mary as he chatted with Kingman), became Senior Fellow of Yale Corporation in 1999. We live in a very different world today than in 1970.

@1644 Because for the modern Reveloutianary/Activists there is more personal gain and self-gratification with having endless revolution than actually governing or having to administrate after a victory.

MARCUS GARVEY said it well about those Blacks you are talking about.

MARCUS GARVEY ON "Negro leadership and what it means"



"I would not exchange two five-cent cigars-even though not a smoker-for all the Colored or Negro political leaders, or rather misleaders, of our time. The fraternity is heartless, crafty and corrupt. They exist for themselves only and give no honest thought to the future, nor the condition of the people, except to exploit the aid condition to… their political benefit.The leaders of the race are vision less and selfish. They think of none but themselvesAmong the whites, we have a few political charlatans and crooks, but that race can well afford, under the circumstances, to tolerate them, because they are surrounded and circumvented by Statesmen and race Patriots who are ever vigilant and on guard in protecting the rights of their people. Among us Negroes, there is no relief from such a class, because they monopolize our politics and obstruct our outlook. The only tempering hope is religion, and that is like dry bones, we have to wait a long while for them to come together in the Valley.To use our present political leaders there must be a conversion and reformation in head and heart. I believe it to be impossible with the inviting system of graft, therefore I suggest that leadership be assumed by our uncorruptec youth, with a program clear, positive and determined.

@1644: Too often the people selected to represent their gender or their tribe are picked because they are acceptable to the establishment that gets to pick them. They are not selected for their commitment to change, fairness or concern for the consequences. They provide "cover" for the institutions that need a "face" that represents diversity, while making sure that someone who really represented something new would never do anything more than preserve the status quo.
