What an absolutely wonderful report, Merc!
And one of the biggest obstacles he recognized, as a former disciple of self-appointed black leaders and now as a pastor and community activist, was the betrayal of black activist ministers in their preaching of racial politics and powerplays to their followers and encouraging the loathing of individualism. The flocks are ripe for use as political pickings and funding , but you can expect to be turned into lamb chops if the groupthink switch these bad shepherds have worked for years to install in you suddenly blows a fuse.
Kudos!!
