Black power is impatience. It is the bogard made manifest whether or not it is ready for primetime. It is a distinctly America sort of hubris ready to take over whatever world it desires.

Black power is hijackable because people hunger for a great and powerful Oz.

I’ll give it a shot … this is my first reply, by the way. Black Power is a movement of black people all over the world, especially those in the U.S. Perhaps most prominent in the late ’60s and early ’70s, Black Power places an emphasis on racial pride and the founding of black cultural and political institutions to support and promote black group interests, advance black ideals, and confirm black autonomy.

No, black power is not dead. People just high Jack it sometimes and shrowd themselves in its rhetoric for their own ends.

The embodiment of black power does not reside with one person but a collection of many,you give the Mayor to much credit.

Well, the revolution will not be televised.

Black power is not someone standing at a podium defending his bad behavior.

Black power resides elseswhere, like between my (and your) ears.
