What Entity In The Black Community Inspects The Performance Of "The Democratic Party Preacher" Rev Al Sharpton?

(The Democratic Party Preacher) Rev Al Sharpton Tells Black Leaders To Reconnect With Their Communities

A fiery sermon given by Reverend Al Sharpton in Albany over the weekend has put some African-American leaders on the hotseat, questioning whether they're doing enough to help their constituents or if they're just focused on helping themselves.

Several years ago at the funeral of Coretta Scott King I reported on the speech that "The Democratic Party Preacher" (DPP) Rev Al Sharpton gave in which he:

  • Admitted that the Civil Rights Movement had gotten off track
  • Told of the consequences to the Black Community for it having lost its way
  • Told of his plans to REINVIGORATE the movement by PROTESTING and VOTING
At that time I asked as I am asking right now:

What Other Leader Of An Entity Has The Power Of "Self-Appraisal", Is Able To Find Fault, And Then Proclaim His Plans For Leadership In The Next Interval?

ANSWER:  Surely Fidel Castro and Gaddafi have "Strong Man" systems which offer them the power of such "self-diagnosis and self-prescription".   We are now seeing how pleased their subjects are per the riots that are taking place in certain parts of the world.

The key difference between the entire people of Libya and the specific sub-population known as "Black Americans" is that the African-American Community is an "overlay" community.  There is a formal government that has "controlling legal authority" over where we live.

Ironically - even as the "Black Establishment" increases its success at placing "favorable people" into the rungs of "the Controlling Legal Authority" (as proven by the 50%+ Black vote of support" the Black Establishment retains its "STRUGGLE milieu".

In practicing the art of "Establishment Authority Denial" those who execute this scheme rely upon the "Congregational Complicity" of the masses to retain their power.  The masses articulate their grievances but agree to blame some external force for having failed them.  Thus the "favorable people" who are in the seats of power which used to be targets for demonstration - now are able to join in with the protest march as they set out against the external enemy who has caused their plan to fail.

If you make note of this scheme - it is not about using the institutions that they gain increasing control over, manging them so that favorable outcomes are expressed.  Instead it is nothing more than an IDEOLOGICAL romp in which they continue to cleave to their IDEOLOGICAL THEORIES as to what they BELIEVE will bring forth the changes that they struggle for.  

Sadly the EVIDENCE ON THE GROUND, when it proves the CONTRARY is not enough for the "Ideological Bigot" to being to question if his theories are the problem and not merely the "hatred" of those who stand against his IDEOLOGY.  

The only reason why people like Al Sharpton are allowed to continue is that he is able to claim the "Moral Authority".  His INTENTIONS are to spread "Social Justice" upon everyone.   He had the aggrieved masses believing that the log jam which is denying them their proportion of this "Social Justice" is always resident in the hands of the people who he summons to stand with him.

If you make analysis of the EXPRESSION that Sharpton and other Establishment leaders ask the people to posit it is as follows:

  1. VOTE - Use their EQUAL BALLOT which they have struggled to obtain for the purposes of promoting "favorable people" into power.  (They all just happen to be 'Progressive Democrats')
  2. PROTEST - Against any force that is an enumerated threat to the "interests of Black America".  Again - it just so happens that the Black Establishment ITSELF is never a target of protest.  As long as all players retain their alignment with the "Black Progressive Agenda" - this provides them with the necessary shielding from protests, regardless of the results that prove to be a molestation of our stated "Permanent Interests"
The Failed Organizational Management Theories That Undercut The Efficacy Of Today's "Black Community Development Advocacy"

Let me open with two points that define my perspective:
  1. There is no longer an "Organic Black Community Development Movement".  It has been hijacked.  
    1. It is now 90% about "American Electoral Politics"
    2. And 95% Ideological Positioning
  2. Though I approach this entire analysis and debate from the perspective of my professional "management consulting" skills that I have learned on my "real job" - the fact is that a CORPORATION is full of "equal human beings" seeking to accomplish a particular mission AND a "Virtual Community of People" who are seeking to improve their condition are similarly composed
    1. Thus I REJECT those who claim that the tools and points of analysis that is true for the world of business are not applicable to the world of "community development"
    2. There are people who occupy the same time and space as we do here in America that are effectively using these tactics to gain advantage.  This INCLUDES large segments of the popular majority adversary who a disproportionate attention is invested upon by our "internal confidence men"
To my ideological adversaries I ask you to LOOK AT THE PRESENT RESULTS!   Regardless of how much you satisfy yourselves with:
  • "I know who did this to us and we are going to make them pay"
  • "Your ideology has been soundly rejected by the Black community as evidence that it is not right" (circular logic)
  • "We are promoting people who have proven to care about Black people into the seat of power to fight against those who don't care"
The bottom line remains - YOUR GROWTH IN POWER (and the power of people who are "ideologically favorable" to you) has failed to substantively and comprehensively change the conditions for the majority of Black Americans AND our fate is as vulnerable as ever - per the shifting sands that global competition will impart upon this nation in the next 100 years.

The Need To Separate "Methodology" From "Mission"

The biggest fraud that is being cast upon our people is being made by the "embedded confidence men" who know our grievances as a community and who give us TASKS to perform, knowing that by leveraging our emotional sentiment - we will forget to apply dispassionate scrutiny to the RESULTS.   As long as we are "congregationally unified" in these actions - this trumps the results.   

In addition those who hold the megaphone and the editors pen for the narrative merely need to fault the adversary for standing against us as the reasons for the failure.

Even as I point out how in the "Mission Accomplished Cities" where LOCALLY these theories go unchallenged and still don't transform our community - they merely NATIONALIZE the indictment - pointing to the "redistributive tax policy" cuts of their adversaries which have starved the "Mission Accomplished Cities" of needed resources, thus putting a boot on the "Social Justice" who's stem had just broken through the ground, ready to blossom.

The debate here is between those who believe that a strong central government is necessary to control as many of the variables that lead to the disparate outcomes between population segments AND those who believe that each competing interest group should field a strategic platform which they perfect locally, allowing it to multiply on new fronts as it builds off of its productivity to generate more prosperity for the masses.
(I could even argue that indeed the Black Establishment is using this model.  The key difference is that they are building up electoral strength rather than the human resource development track that I am speaking of in the commercial and academic track.  This benefits their political interests of their joint-venture partners than it does our community.)

Is there an organization or journalist or entity WITHIN THE BLACK COMMUNITY that steps away from the "ideological methodology" that is commonly approved within our community and instead sets up a TRANSPARENT FRAMEWORK FOR APPRAISAL of where we stand in reference to our "Permanent Interests"?

Please note - the "State Of Black America" report done by the National Urban League is not an example of this.  It makes White Americans the "1.0" perfect reference that we should one day hope to obtain.  This report is taken to the legislators in the Federal government and around the nation as documentary proof of the inferior state of Black America.  The prescribed solutions are akin to what Sharpton asks:  VOTE for new programs.  PROTEST against those who don't support these programs as a gateway to our salvation as a community.

Please note - the plan that is followed for the development of Black America - inside of America - has no hope of working for other Blacks in the Diaspora who have no strong central government with an organized system for redistribution:  Haiti, The Congo, Chad.   If there are only 40 million Blacks in the USA but an estimated 850 million Blacks around the world, clearly this is not a system that could ever hope to ORGANICALLY assist the vast number of Black people around the world, pruning & grafting this system to help them.

Beyond the noted use of INDICTMENT as a force of ideological unity it is clear that this present scheme is not working today but instead appears to be a remnant of times past.
