Exactly! These men have never led anything. They've never organized, or been active, not even in saving their own lives or the lives of other Black men, from police brutality, although they were subjected to it when they were younger and had no money. What have any of them done in the past 25 years for anyone but themselves.

No one is looking for them to do anything beyond being entertaining. We've never been able to rely on such men, and there were always a few willing to seek out for an extra dollar, and then preach that the rest of us should do that too. My issue isn't with these guys. My issue is with those Black dudebros with microphones who are willing to throw their sistahs and brothas under the bus for likes and clicks online.
