For unity, we need interaction; exchange is at the heart of getting anywhere in any movement. If it's one sided, and all our eggs are placed in one mouthpiece, what happens when that mouthpiece leaves?

I opt for unity. The unity that gets built here is a faux unity that is easily broken all them. One of the biggest things that is missing, are the leaders. Jesse Jackson almost had it, but the powers that be, are always looking for the one flaw to magnify it. It seems if a person wants to be a leader, they must live a saintly life, which next to impossible. I know I have made my mistakes in my life, however, given today's society there is no forgiveness. As much as I love MLK, I feel there was a need to highlight other people who were also influential in the Civil Rights movement.

Thank you. I miss a person who speaks with fire. No one quite has it the way he had it. MLK had a different timbre, a river running over a rockbed. But X had fire. In his thoughts, in his tone, in his life...thank you. So much love. Thank you. I miss a person who speaks with fire. No one quite has it the way he had it.
