Safe Negro-If The Shoe Fits Then Wear It!

Definition of a Safe Negro is a black elected officials, President/Chair of an organization, Pastor of a church, Minister and grassroots leader who do not question or have anything to say in a public meeting as it relates to the problems within the black community. One who feels he/she has arrived. (Arrived=forgot from whence they came and because they have a little something they look down on other black folks.) One who knows and sees racism but try to act as if it doesn't exist. One who will follow Racist White Folks around by believing in what they say without doing their homework. One who will sit on boards and will not vote for positive change that will affect the black community because they do not want to rock the boat. One who will get in the (real black leaders) lane because they want to tell others about their role when they don't know their role or the rules. One who say they want to groom us blacks to be leaders when all they want to do is use them. One who talk about (real black leaders) who are actively engaged in community issues, know the issues and speak out in public. One who is jealous of the (real black leaders) who will speak truth to power by confronting racism and other isms that exist while the Safe Negro benefits. This is just me throwing some miracle grow on the grassroots effort.
