Black Americans have to be the most internally questioning people in the U.S.
The idea that Blacks "speak behind closed doors" is a farce. Things are mentioned on Black talk radio. Things are mentioned in Black print media. The idea about Blacks "speaking behind closed doors" rests on the idea that it's "behind closed doors" because media appointed "Black leaders" aren't QUOTED as saying certain things. Then, critics of the American Black community, white and Black, say that because those "leaders" aren't saying things, it isn't being said.
False.
Then those same critics will say that those "Black leaders" don't speak for all Blacks.
True.
Then those same critics will say that the Black community, in general, is being "lead" by the "Black leaders".
Then those same critics will point out where the "Black leaders" are not sychronized with the general Black community.
Ummm.... Ain't there some contradictions there somewhere?
