It's not like some black leaders have not advocated for blacks to pull themselves up as the best solution to their problems.
"The worst enemy the negro has is this white man that runs around here drooling at the mouth professing to love Negroes calling himself a liberal. It is following these white liberals that has perpetuated problems that the Negroes have. If the Negroe wasn't taken, tricked or deceived by the white liberal, then Negroes would get together and solve our own problems.
I only cite these things to show you that in America, the history of the white liberal has been nothing but a series of trickery designed to make Negroes think that the white liberal was going to solve our problems."

Pro BLM Activists have moved beyond the idea of good role models such as Jackie Robinson or Clarence Thomas. The idea of modeling behavior to be imitated such as of hard work, self reliance, responsibility, and good parenting are passé' by Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and Barak Obama who, from their own wealth status, claim the victim plight of Black skin is systematic whitism. Meanwhile, they themselves make millions off of it.
One can only hope these feckless leaders will reconsider their embrace of BLM cultism. Reject it and help return America to the nation of self reliance and strength it's citizens possess. And once again make the USA the best country in history.
