I asked a black guy at work about this and his comment was that black folk didn't choose those two as "leaders," white people chose them for the black community. IDK, maybe some of our AA brethren can chime in on that statement.

I already did. IMO I think some white people believe this for no other reason than they heard someone else say it. I don't watch MSNBC, CNN, or FOX so I don't know how much they appear on TV to discuss issues like these.

FWIW I've never heard another black person refer to AL Sharpton or Jesse Jackson as leader.

Not sure why the first part of that sentence sounded funny, but it did.

The black populace continues to perpetuate this though. Look who the attorney for the family is - Ben Crumb. That dumbshit was extremely ineffective for the TM family, yet some clown tells the family "hey, you need a high profile black guy to represent your interests" yet not realizing he is busy trying to capitalize on the situation. Same thing here with Quanelle X who has been raping the black community here in Houston for decades.
