I wholeheartedly agree with most of what you said. But when all you have is rocks, you fight with rocks.
I think we always have more than rocks, as the power of the mind is the greatest gift bestowed on all humans. The problem is building a collective conscious amongst coloured people. I think it was the struggle dealt with many of the strong black leaders of the past (MLK, Malcolm X, Huey Newton). I think Nat Turner understood this well and the need to use black suffering as a driving force for revolution.
In my opinion the last strong leader in the black community, who I feel people would have banned around, was Tupac Shakur. I find a lot of his thinking to be similar to what Nat Turner did. Tupac knew wholeheartedly the struggles of his community and was deeply entrenched in it due to lived experiences. He also understood that gang culture, which at the time and to this day, is the means for the oppressor to continue to carry out their oppression with impunity. However, he saw the silver lining in gang culture in that it could be used as a positive force to also uplift the community and help black people achieve some level of sovereignty over their own destiny
However, just like the leaders before him he saw the struggles in unifying black consciousness around a unitary way of thinking. This is a huge challenge.... I mean you see this today where we have rappers who want to claim black pride but then spend millions on white fashion designers. If there is a true desire to help the community then those who can must give back to its growth and help the people become more self sustainable. Pac understood how the gangs could help with this.
Today there are no strong leaders... That's why you can have a decentralized movement like black lives matter which truthfully is more of a badge for sjws to wear rather than a true movement that wants to challenge the stays quo. The lack of strong leaders in coloured communities is also not a chance thing of course (but that's a whole other topic).
