It's true there are a lot of rotten leaders claiming to represent the African American community, but leadership there is tough to find.
But I have to admit, time is running out on African Americans, their communites are becoming increasing blurred and diffused.

Well I would agree with you that much of what the Blacks are experiencing is quite different from someone who just crawled across our border. But some things are a problem that society as a whole has created. I say this because of three generations of welfare recipients and the damage to so many as a result. It has created a feeling of entitlement, lack of responsibility and a continued underclass which has now become an acceptable lifestyle and enabler for illegals. The Blacks and Hispanic are two different demographics, but they do share some common problems, along with other ethnics to a lesser degree.
