The objective seems to be to embarrass black men into actually acting like men; to stepping up to their responsibilities as men and not taking the punk route. Like such a large majority of black men do. Of course, not all of black "leaders" see it this way. From the Post:
"The need to mobilize and the need to organize is here, like it was 10 years ago," said the Rev. Al Sharpton, as he walked to the stage with the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson. "The determination of whether this event is significant will not be determined on how many people came, but how they left and what they did. What made the 1963 march is that we passed the 1964 civil rights bills. The success of this march will be that we take charge of our communities and make a difference in the 0-6 elections.""We passed the 1964 civil rights bills"?? What you mean, "we", kemosabe? You had zip to do with it. The heavy lifting was done by white politicos who realized that the time had come to set things right, that the Democratic Party had for too long held the blacks down in the South. Yes, the Democratic Party. The same ones who led secession from the Union in the first place.
Once again, black Americans will be let down by their alleged leaders, men like the lying piece of feces Sharpton and that old racialist huckster Jesse Jackson. Victory will not be measured by who wins elections, or any legislation. Victory will be achieved at the most local of levels: the individual and the nuclear family.
By individual men and women who do the right thing, one man, one woman, one couple at a time. By kids who finish high school and actually get a job. By kids whose parents supervise them, teach them right from wrong, and don't think that the government or the schools will do that for them. By men and women who get married before having babies, and stay together to raise and nurture those babies. By kids, and their parents, who don't do drugs, who don't kill each other for name-label shoes or sportswear, who don't idolize women- and white-hating rappers, and who can recognize much of the hiphop culture for the punkass garbage it is.
Black men: be men, be dads and not just fathers. Black women: wait until you're married, then stick with one man. It's all about family values, and there's no government on earth that can give those to you. You've got to grow them down home.
