I disagree. Anytime there is diversity in perspective there is going to be division. This is a NORMAL STATE OF HUMANITY.

For example, if one person believes our elevation will only come through direct warfare and another believes it will only come from capitulation, how exactly do you reconcile that?

My argument has always been set your vision, sell your vision, execute your vision. At the end of the day your ability to do that will be what ultimately creates change.

I think it’s quite a stretch to compare the honesty;integrity and devotion that MALCOLM and MARTIN exemplified;with that of these two street hustler’s ben and al

I have always enjoyed a good James Clingman article and I am not disappointed. I always believed that white people accepted Martin over Malcolm as the spokesperson for Negros, because they would rather negotiate with the non-violent Martin, over Malcolm because they perceived him to preach violence. Before Malcolm gained a large following, Martin was not taken seriously by white folks after Malcolm’s rise in power white folks were happy to sit down and and negotiate with Martin. I think they played the good cop bad cop routine on the nation.

I have been reading your article’s for sometime now BRO. JAMES and this is the first time I have to disagree with you.ANYONE can determine the quality of a people’s leadership by the condition of the people they represent.MANY nation’s on this planet are minerally ,culturally and geographically wealthy,but the people are in abject poverty.YOU need only to assess the quality of their leaders to understand their dire situations.BLACK AMERICAN’S are no exception to this rule; our condition is poor because our leaders are poor.WE as a people have to find a way to get honest and loyal leaders and organization’s whose only reason for existing is improving our condition.WITH the leaders we have today that seems to be too much to ask;they’re worried about everyone else but us.
