Thank you, Sigaba, for providing me with insight into your reasoning.
Your understanding of black political activity goes far beyond mine as an observer. I will even suggest that it goes beyond the perspective of most Americans. I just don't see the majority of individuals giving that level of thought to anything. Most are busy with the business of everyday life and don't get involved in matters until they feel a direct impact. This is why I find the words of those in visible leadership positions that are less than impeccable and lacking in credibility so concerning. That sentiment is felt by the majority of people based on what I hear. It is not just the actions of the black political activity that must be considered but the reaction by those on the receiving end. There will be 'an equal or opposite reaction.'
At the grassroot level -- people are dealing with a lot of factors in this country. Tolerance levels are lowering and uncertainty of ones personal security increases unrest. We are becoming a powder keg.... I pray that ZonieDiver is right, that "cooler heads will prevail". Truly I do....
