Voices of Black America: Who Speaks for You?
By CR Hamilton
Taking notice of the stats below, there is no wonder Black-Americans continue to face discrimination and whites (mainly policy-making and gate-keeping mainstream whites) continue to undermine and disrespect the wants, needs, and ideas of Black-America. The names below do not represent all Blacks; they represent the more liberal, elitist Blacks and not the masses. When asked, "Who do you think is the leader who best represents the interests of the black community today" this is what 266 polled Black adults had to say:
Jesse Jackson 40%
Colin Powell 20
Coretta Scott King 15
Al Sharpton 6
Louis Farrakhan 6
Charles Rangel 3
Clarence Thomas 1
Other/None (vol.) 5
