Cynique drops the microphone, yells, "Sexual Chocolate!" and exits the stage. In the end all of the qualities we attribute to those in an influential position are the same qualities shared by those who are not in a position of influence. I discovered a long time ago that it wasn't the White man, or a corporate entity that I was most afraid of; it was the robbing crew made up of guys in the neighborhood who had given up on life and only wanted what they could take. The result of capitalism is a society that looks to place blame on those who have made it, and to lay blame on those who have not. Honesty is a virtue only to those who value it. (enough of the cliches). Demanding more from those who are capable of providing more is a flawed system. I was asked today why I think politics is not the problem in the Black community? I responded that Blacks have never had any political power yet when we were more disenfranchised and not accepted by society we were more together than we have been in the last 40 years. So the solution to all of our problems is actually very simple: Black unity/support. I support Troy, Troy supports me. Someone recognizes the work Troy is doing and they decide to add a link to their website and a movement is begun. It is at the grassroot levels where change happens first and even at this level as Cynique said, there is corruption. Integrity is becoming the lost trait in our community.
