Black People Politics : Why the masses prefer psychopaths to lead them

[Clyde C Coger Jr]

Did you ever see the film Elmer Gantry?

I. e., in times when one's life got turned upside down, and the eras plagued by economic recessions etc. are the backdrops, some do place their blind faith in certain self proclaimed prophets or alleged saviors etc.

Nothing new or news about that...

FYI

... Good point chuck, Lancaster, Simmons and all played their parts well. So that in the end, there was still uncertainty as to what really happened, was it real or was it memorex, so to peak, is the walk-away taken from the script.

Like you, I thoroughly enjoyed the film ...

Good afternoon, and interesting take, but let us also factor in the likes of Prophet Jones, Daddy Grace, etc.

So, however much some of did or do try to rise above/beyond the mindsets, others may not felt or thought they needed or wanted to...

I. e., one has to contrast their beloved ideas, with any number of reality checks/wake up calls I've gotten (and others will too)...

FYI...
