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.

Bullseye is only saying that Last42 does not get to pick who Bullseye should vote for or financially support, in terms of politicians or clergy.

If you met a Norwegian guy at the bar and started talking politics with him, would you take very kindly to him saying, "you guys should have voted for goldwater instead" or "you guys should have voted for Humphrey instead"? 
You wouldn't.
Because regardless of party affiliation, as a Norwegian, that is not his choice to make. Also, in all likelihood, you were not alive then, and in any case it was 50 years ago. So don't go spouting off about "Y'all would be better off if y'all had let Malcolm live."
