You are all missing the point. White people defining "Black leadership" is stupid, just as Black people defining "white leadership" is stupid. I think what Booker T is saying, if I may, is that this whole "Black leadership" thing ends up being a way to pidgeon-hole people of color
The Japanese?
and then discredit people who speak out.
This happens only when the people who accept the role of a Black Leader (Reg. U.S. Pat. Off.) end up doing or saying stupid things, or worse.
And of course, Mr. Krasnoff took the bait immediately with a litany of "discredited Black Leaders". Randy Staten doesn't represent Booker T Hodges any more than Rush Limbaugh, Strom Thurmand, David Duke, Tim Pawlenty, Robert Lillegren, or RT represents me. I just love how some of the white folks get defensive when the tables are turned.
What bait? Dude, I've seen this all before. Only the city and names are different. All this nonsense helps to perpetuate The Struggle(tm). Also sells newspapers and air time, but that's another story. You don't have to use quotation marks when referring to my litany of NYC social justice adherents: they <are> discredited.
It's not up to me to decide who's an authentic black/negro/colored/African-American, but it's a real giveaway when they have lotsa melanin and stuff, like different facial features than whites, asians, and anyone from Wisconsin;, speech patterns; shnozolas; and SUVs with tacky rims. Kinda hard not to miss authentic black people. Sorta like Chasidic Jews - can't miss <their> authenticity.
