The quote for Black people should be; Too Many Indians That Think They Are Chiefs and Not Enough Chiefs for all These Damn Indians.<\/p>\n
I wholly understand the first quote but over the years I have come to realize that it\u2019s not as accurate as I once thought. The reason for this is that these Indians that are trying to be chiefs are really acting and they have no real understanding of what it takes to be a chief. They posture themselves and try to talk like a chief but they can\u2019t walk the walk, not even a block, let alone a mile in the shoes of a real chief.<\/p>\n
They get ahead of themselves when dealing with Black on Black situations, but if you toss them into the room with a white chief they quickly play the subordinate role. (more on the Black on Black situation in a post to come)<\/p>\n
On the other side there\u2019s the multitude of Indians and not enough people willing to stand up as chiefs. This is when it has to do with enlightenment and uplifting of the Black community. All of a sudden no one wants to be the chief, no one wants to die for the cause anymore or be the martyr. They all want a chief to step up, whom they will conveniently try to undermine when given the chance. (more on The Crab Syndrome in a coming post)<\/p>\n
So let\u2019s refresh the phrase a bit to include the latter 2 so we can really become more enlightened on the way we think.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
