When everyone on the bus is Black, who sits in the back ?

When the Titanic was struck by an iceburg, it sunk like a rock. All of its might was not enough to save all of the passengers, who never imagined that their days and nights of " living it up " would be cut short. This isnt a perfect analogy to describe the cultural wave that Black Diasporans are riding. However, there are many lurking threats to our survival, some of which are near and dear to us living in the U.S.A. The practice of giving high school diplomas to youth who cannot read is only an accident in the mind of a fool ! This and other ills can only be toppled if the wave we ride into the future is legit. No clown, coon, buffoon, or well-meaning but misguided person or persons must be allowed to be at the top of the wave, a.k.a. " the front of the bus. " In the past, wicked men made us sit at the back of the bus. In the future, men and women of valor have no choice but to encourage or coerse people who impede progress to take a seat at the " back of the bus " ; any vehicle that shows promise in freeing our communites of its ills must have guidance that is updated and in synchronization with the realities of today.
