There has been a leadership vacuum in the Black Community for the last 60 years. This leadership vacuum has been the number one detriment to our community. It has been the major reason why our community continues to lag in education, entrepreneurship, and politic influence.

Even though liberals like John Kerry are repeatedly defeated at the polls, the majority on the allegedly "conservative" Supreme Court reflects their views and wields absolute power.
