MLK Day Rebellion to Overthrow Black Leaders

If one NC (North Carolina) minister has his way come January 15th (Martin Luther King Holiday) some black leaders will be hearing the words of Donald Trump: "You're Fired!!!"

Tired of the disconnection between "black leadership" and the grassroot black community, Min. Paul Scott, founder of the Durham NC based Messianic Afrikan Nation has started the "MLK (Mass Leader Kick-out) Day Rebellion.

He is asking black people in cities across the country to demand that the Black leaders that are out of touch with their communities to step down by 1/15/07.

"Dr. King's message was about representing the struggling masses, not the classes, says Scott. "Many of these leaders have turned King's dream into a nightmare!"

Scott says that the disconnection of Black leaders from the everyday people has made them unable to deal with today's problems facing the Hip Hop generation such as drugs and gangs. He says that many from the Civil Rights era can't move beyond an intergrationist philosophy to a Black empowerment philosophy.

"We respect the efforts of those who fought for Civil Rights but this is a new day, we need black pride and black empowerment, says Scott. "The goal was not to integrate "White Castle Burger Joint" but to paint it black.

Scott is urging the next generation of leaders to step up and seize the moment and take responsibility for moving the community forward.

"Those in power have made a mess, it is up to the real leaders, the people you see everyday, in the streets, the activists, concerned parents, barbershop and other small business owners to take matters into our own hands."
