The African-American community has and continues to endure a tumultuous existence, in which its societal aspirations perpetually occupy a state of paradoxical hope, as evidenced by its faith in a political party that has yet to deliver it from its beleaguered condition. If such a phenomenon is to subside, Americans of African descent must evolve into a political institution in which its destiny is crafted by its own architects, who are empowered by its members to channel the currents of political power in the direction of the collective. If such a phenomenon fails to emerge, this group will forever serve as the underappreciated force behind a donkey, cultivating a crop, in which the spoils of its harvest provide measures of sustenance for essentially all others, but itself.
The African-American masses must decide whether such a future is permissible, and if deemed unacceptable, move to deny this reality.
In the words of Marcus Garvey, "Up you mighty race!" for the harvest belongs to you.
