Some people like the spotlight and others don’t. But I for one feel that we don’t necessarily need a leader but a movement and once we start the movement leaders will emerge. It just seems backwards to have a leader and no specific goal. Lets start small and get the snowball rolling and then we will have a powerfull nation with in America. What will be our cause? Choose one; Men being shot for no apparent reason by police, no knock warrants, etc. Lets choose one that is tangible and stop crying over the N word because that in its own right divides us again. When will we stop being divided and start fighting for one same cause? ie. Marc and Cosby

I think we ARE fighting the same cause. That’s why productive conversation and healthy tension is so vital to our project.
