Poll Reveals the “Black Leader” Myth

by @ 10:17 pm. Filed under The Truth Shall Set you Free!

A recent AP-AOL Black Voices poll showed that there is no “Black Leader”. But the title of the article gives a very false impression.

Poll: Jackson, Rice Are Top Black Leaders (emphasis added)


When blacks were asked to come up with the person they considered “the most important black leader,” 15 percent chose Jackson, a civil rights activist who ran for president in the 1980s, while 11 percent picked Secretary of State Rice, 8 percent chose former Secretary of State Powell, and 6 percent named Obama, a freshman Democratic senator from Illinois.

About one-third declined to volunteer a name.

The answers to the open-ended question about leadership were divided among a number of well-known black Americans, a sharp contrast to the when Martin Luther King Jr. was recognized as the leading voice among many prominent civil rights leaders.

One in five, 21 percent, said they were not sure whom to name among current black leaders and 13 percent chose no one. A few in the poll, 1 percent, named themselves.

“What is ‘the most important black leader?’” asked Thomas Miller, a 59-year-old political independent who lives in Philadelphia. “You have to lead your own self, don’t put that on anybody else. Putting faith in somebody else is blind.”

blacks say by a 2-1 margin that hip-hop artists are a negative influence, rather than positive.

The article should be titled “There is no Black Leader”. Because the only “Black Leaders” that exist are media appointed. There is never a “Black election” for a “Black Leader”. This poll and some of the responses show that there are Blacks that realize this whole “Black Leader” myth is a crock! Like me, they see that they must do for themselves. I’m sure in time more than 1% will see that they are their own best leader.

Elected officials in a mostly Black area could be called a “Black Leader” for their respective area, but Whites voted for them too. Did you know Ray Nagin got 90% of the White vote in New Orleans and only 50% of the Black vote? So even talk of a “Black Leader” in mostly Black areas can be a suspect claim. Bottom line, all this Black Leader talk needs to stop! The media segregation of Blacks needs to end.

I am also glad that most Blacks polled see that today’s Hip Hop artists have overrun the genre with trash and smut! So whenever you hear one of those trash mouthed rappers claiming to speak for Black folks, realize that most Blacks probably don’t even like most of today’s Hip Hop artists.

Most Blacks don’t agree with me when we go to the polls to vote, but like me they see the fraud in so called leaders and crap rappers.
