Some Black leaders profit personally from advocacy without advancing Black democratic life

Evidence

Conservatives are onto something here. I agree with their frustration with black leadership, but for dramatically different reasons. What they rightly single out is something I want to call the racial advocacy game, the way some people parlay politics into a whole lot of money and gain a lot of influence for themselves advocating for black people but do little for black democratic life. — Eddie S.
