I feel they do. All of them/us do. But the leader need not necessarily be of the same race as the people he/she leads. Dr. King was not just an African American leader. He was a leader for all of us. JFK was not just a white leader. He was a leader for all of us.

We need a leader who can call us to our better natures, instead of preying on our fears.

The problem is that when voices (ie - leaders) emerge that call us to do that, they get murdered.

Dr. King was murdered. JFK was murdered. Bobby was murdered. When Malcolm X started to talk about transcending racial hatred and bringing people together, he was murdered.

Then perhaps what the people need is not one leader but for all those who feel the same about equality to stand up together.

This is one of the best statements I've read on this issue. Dr. King was the ultimate leader and it's a darn shame he was killed...his message was so pure. He wasn't full of hate or self pity, he simply wanted to see a country where we all accepted each other based on our character and not our skin color, religious preference etc.

P.S. Lilithu I must have given you frubals in the recent past because I can't do it again...that's so wierd...I agreed with you twice in one month!!

Seriously, we live in a have and have-not society. If you really knew what your government was spending your money on....you would probably freak! I know I did.
Interesting. What specific spending items are you referring to?
