Look it’s simple as this. If you want black advancement you need black people in positions of political power whether you like them or not. Police are horrible, but do you feel more comfortable with nothing but white men policing a community with your little black children because it’s a corrupt system anyway???.The CIA and the FBI are the two most powerful US intelligence branches. Do you want it to be full of white people because they have to answer to the president at the end of the day? The same way the president can’t just do as they plz and need backing by house and senate (hence why trump did whatever he wanted (senate control) . I would hope you don’t. The FBI and CIA run their own clandestine operations as well separate from direct orders.
So again it’s not a hooray moment. But you can’t be serious about black empowerment and not understand we need black people in these positions. Otherwise you are stating you give up and would rather all white people govern you because they all have to answer to someone at the end of the day. Everyone has someone to answer to. You me amd even the president. I beleive in black empowerment and nothing happens by standing on the sidelines commentating. This is the history of global revolutions . It’s the only way to grasp power period.
Again I’m happy for the dude and hope he does well. With that being said, I’d feel more optimism about the situation if he was answering to head power players that look more like he’s us.
He’s still going to be doing the bidding and answering to the white power players in charge. If he doesn’t play the game the way they want, they are replacing him with the quickness. That’s just how it is. He’s in though, so that’s progress
