Black Politics are so goddamn confusing in America.
My professor for African American history ended our last lecture today by saying that he has no idea where black politics are heading in the U.S. nor does he really have any clue in which direction it should head.
And I’m not really sure either, because you have leftist radical activists that work on race based issues up-front and then there is a more modern conservative perspective that had emerged. But is it too soon to apply that conservative national perspective? Or do we simply need to grow into it and race will melt into the past? Or are there still many problems that need to be seriously dealt with as exclusively racial issues? Has white guilt and black bitterness been strained enough? Is there need for an uprising of strong black leaders to get that job done or is self-sufficiency really what it takes?
Dude, I’m not sure which side to pick. I don’t really know enough to say and, apparently, neither does the professor.
All I know is that there are still people that are prejudiced and that needs to change, and America is just a really weird place for that to work out.
