Black folks ain’t put Al or Jesse on a pedestal, we don’t have that power. You think Black support is enough to elevate a Black Leader to national and international legitimacy? Nope, not under these oppressive conditions it ain’t.Just like our Brothers and Sisters in Africa and the Caribbean; our leaders are chosen for us and elevated by our Oppressors/Colonizers. We are an internally colonized people in the US, and just...
