“They [black leaders] have created an industry,” (Alphonso) Jackson, who is black, told NewsMax. 'If we don’t become victims, they have no income. They have no podium.'”
"'They [black leaders] have created an industry,' Jackson, who is black, told NewsMax. 'If we don’t become victims, they have no income. They have no podium.' Rather than confronting real issues that face blacks, African-American leaders suggest that 'it’s racism that’s stopping everything that we’re doing,' Jackson said.
"'They are in the business of making excuses,' he said. 'White folks have nothing to do with the fact that seven out of every 10 black children born in this country are born out of wedlock,' Jackson said. Nor do they have anything to do 'with that fact that we have more black males in prison than we do in college.'
"While racism still exists, 'Young black kids are getting every opportunity that they need, just like every other kid,' Jackson said. 'I think in 2006 to say that everything is the fault of our brothers and sisters of the lighter hue is ridiculous.'
"Until blacks 'begin to focus in on the serious problems that we have in our communities, and begin to try to solve those problems in the most positive manner that we can, we’re not helping ourselves,' Jackson said."
