Only if these messages get more widely accepted in the Black community will there be any chance at equality. Social movements seem to be about compromise. Originally, blacks were thought of as being property. Then some people said "you know, Blacks aren't property, they are humans". The compromise was that blacks were considered living beings, but less than human. Then later, some people started saying "this isn't right, Blacks are just as good as white people". What was the compromise? Blacks were considered humans, but lesser humans. And that was one of the big mistakes of the civil rights movement-it didn't go far enough. If instead of stopping their barganing position at equality, people then would've argued for Black superiority, maybe the compromise would've been at equality. But that was not the case, and to this day blacks are looked down upon as lesser humans in America (and around the world). This guy's on the right track, we need more like him.
