@ProfD: What has Farrakhan done for the over-all black population? He and I are the same age and I've never known him to do anything for anybody but his bean pie brigade. For as long as I can remember, he has lived a life of leisure in a big mansion on Chicago's south side, emerging once a year to regurgitate his marathon Founder's day tirade. Even his Black Man March never developed into anything permanent. He's currently being kept alive by team of Jewish doctors who he praises in private. People like him and Thomas Sowell, Cornel West, and the late Neely Fuller have never done anything but sit around critizing Blacks, telling them what they need to do. As I say, Jews, who were among the founders of the NAACP, don't need me to defend them. Bottom line is, just WHO is it black Americans can point to as having helped them? Even Africans snub them. Obviously they need to just get on with their lives adopting the each one, teach one approach. White supremacy exists because it perpetuates itself and wards off all challengers. It is, what it is. Blacks folks are too busy chasing their tails, competing in the "blacker than thou" contests, trying to dictate to each other what constitutes authentic blackness. At my age, staying under the radar, is easy. Nobody cares what old people think. And, for me, the feeling is mutual! C'mon, baby, let's do our thing
