Here's a start: Get rid of the leaders that exploit them. I think blacks need to recognize that the democratic party doesn't care about them except as a numbers game. They need to re-embrace the idea of the black family unit. They need to reject the current iteration of welfare that cripples their communities and stifles their economic growth. They should reject gangs that ensnare their youth and encourage the pursuit of middle class careers. I agree that they should to arm themselves and start policing their own. These aren't my ideas. Malcolm X proposed them. Imo, the black community lost a powerful voice when he was mercilessly gunned down. Malcolm X understood the power of autonomy (post nation of Islam), and would have loved to see how he would have helped shaped the black psyche had he not been mercilessly gun-downed.

First, who African Americans choose to lead us is our choice, nobody else's.

I going to stop right there. African-Americans are not a homogeneous group, and no one gets to speak for all of them. If some white [BLEEP] thought he got to speak for me I'd tell him to [BLEEP] right off. The idea that all black people are or should be the same is ridiculous. There is no "black leader" because there is not united black group. While some hustlers might make that claim, that claim is nothing more that hot air.

You and your silly perspective. No one wants to hear that blacks are both the perpetrators and victims of most crimes in America, it's all society's fault.
