Does the black community have leader(s), if so, who are they

[aSniperJones]

People don’t wanna admit it for some reason but it’s athletes and rappers


They’re bad leaders but it’s very clear they are the leaders.

THIS IS THE ANWSER.

I dislike it and anyone else can too, but we have to be honest with ourselves.

We don't hold them accountable. Rappers who are locally successful - thus have popularity and influence, goal should be to win local public office and enact policies; fukk A GRAMMY.

Hustle Foward, Not Backward.

If you read between the lines of some of their "trashy" & "deviant" lyrics or listen to the "one or two" of their conscious records - they have issues they'd likely address if they were in office - had the power; substance abuse, pay inequality, public transportation, price gouging, youth and adult recreation.

The Democrats told us that BLM were black leaders

We need a smart tactful lion.

We don't have anything like that in the black socio economic sphere


Too many negroes are cowards, who are too beholden to a dollar.


A leader must have values, doesn't need to be virtuous. But needs to be principled .

Also can't be a coward and has the ability to stand in their square.

Find me a negro who is courageous, smart, self less and charismatic


I'd put my worth behind the man

Probably entertainers by default since we allow them to always be our voice.

It should be businessmen that we all back by buying their products or investing with them, but we don't do that.

If we had our own billionaires that actually cared about group economics, we'd have leaders.

Imo we need leaders that are ethnicity first, instead of integrationists.

There's either organisation with no mobilisation
Or mobilisation with no organisation

Both are needed to progress
Thats what made Malcolm so very unique

They’re bad leaders but it’s very clear they are the leaders. A byproduct of making them the most highly regarded people in our community is they get the unofficial “community leader” badge forced on them

I would just expand thus by saying entertainers in general. The way people talked about Chadwick Boseman, the way people used to talk about Will Smith, I think makes it clear that we hold up entertainers period as leaders...

What I would question the board on, is do we NEED a national leader? It was dope having Obama as a face but many of us didn't view him as "our" leader, and we've created an existence over here without having black politicians in the highest profile role...

Same way we question why we exalt athletes and entertainers, why does it have to be someone political? History is rife with examples of people in political spheres that weren't exactly role models...

Our leaders start at the local level, I do believe that. Really, it starts at home, then it extends into your community. There should be a network of at least somewhat connected groups/leaders in everyone's community, but I don't think people domestically realize how big the United States is. We have essentially the same geographic area as the entire continent of Europe. I don't know if it's possible to have just one leader of a nation this big...

The same type of leaders for White people is the same type of leaders
for Black people which are celebs.
