I'd just like to see those black people speak up once in a while.

But

You have racist figureheads spewing double standards and hypocritical statements. It's to bad that you don't agree with his views, but these guys are claiming to represent the af-ami interests of rascism in North American, and all they're doing is projecting a very real picture of how black people feel about these situations.

These figureheads are making the community look very very bad.
You're never going to have one figurehead who represesnts all the opinions of the black community. And why should you? Is there one white person who represents all the opinions of the white community? Is it Imus? George Bush? I certainly hope not.

The truth is that the person who is the biggest attention whore and screams the loudest gets the most attention. Hell, you can see that right here on GFY. Right now, the media has decided Al Sharpton is their go-to guy for all things Afr-Amer opinion related. It's not like someone took a vote on it or even asked if we agree.
