Do you think more black leaders need to teach about personal RESPONSIBILITY?

[Mountaineer]

If through wreckless sexual behavior or messing with needles a black person gets AIDS, Obama's preacher Rev. Wright says it's not your fault, the U.S. government invented HIV as a weapon of genocide against black people.

If a black person selling crack on a street corner is arrested and put in jail, Rev. Wright says it's not his fault. The U.S. government imports illegal drugs as a way to keep blacks in prison.

Now Alicia Keys says that gang killings and violence is also a government conspiracy. She claims the U.S. government invented gangsta rap as a way for blacks to kill each other.

Do you think that black people need a change in leadership? Out with the conspiracy theorists, black separists and Sharpton and Jackson and in with someone who teaches personal responsibility?

well there you go Dylan. Now try to explain that to the 80% of black people that have not the determination of you, and insist that the white man is holding them down.

No more so than white leaders.

As a college educated ,black man with a good job, I don't need to be taught sh*t by any " leader" about personal responsibility.

I absolutely believe that the black community needs a change in leadership. Too many suffering blacks are blaming others for their follies, and I think it's time that we educate America how to not judge people by the stereotypes that are associated with race. Black people, like any other racial group in the U.S., have the power to eliminate these stereotypes; Barack Obama running so close in a presidential election is a prime example.

To me Sharpton and Jackson are a real turn off, they put a deeper divide between the races, there is a personal responsibility issue that needs addressed, and they aren't doing it, and many black people agree. It needs to start at home, you can't let your kids go out dressed like thugs and run around to all hours of the night. If you want to change how society views you, then you need to start acting like regular citizens.
