The Black "Do For Self" mantra has had principled, visionary founders (e.g., Garvey, Elijah Muhammad) although they, or their organizaton - like any other - were not without some corruption of greed, thievery, deception and mismanagement. Such corruption is almost always, more or less, present in a group handling a large sum of something as valuable as is money. So, it's not realistic to expect a pristine operation. Those two founders should be judged moreso by the overall positive impact on their targeted group - weighed against incidents of corruption - and in that respect, they both come out as champions. The other relevant matter is learning the lessons of a group's failure to meet one or more stated goals, so that the failure is not repeated, and in that regard, Black leaders are missing the clues. Indeed, there are, and should be, multiple avenues taken to achieve lofty goals of this kind, however, the fundamentals of developing and improving the lives of the Black masses are not being dealt with. That's because few leaders, themselves, actually know what those fundamentals are. Edited by 3rd Eye, Mar 9 2012, 12:38 AM.

First black folks need to start cleaning up their hoods and volunteering to paint schools. Get rid of drug dealers and crime and maybe then one would give his money away. |

First, Blacks need to stop hating themselves for being black and learn why they're feeling that way so that they can stop. |

Humans are automatically corrupt and greedy. Power corrupts. Period. |

Wrong. Humans are not automatically corrupt. There's something causing them to get that way. And there's something causing them to remain that way. |
