We Need Quality Control
Alright, good African people, we need to face the bottom-line truth of it all.
We need quality control in our African communities for who and what we call leaders.
We need quality control in our African communities for who and what we call leadership.
But, what is quality control?
Quality control, in the case of Umar Johnson and other so-called leaders, means to vet people who come before us presenting himself or herself as a leader. To vet means to verify and check for authenticity.
Vetting is not based on rumors and gossip. It is based on facts.
It also means to set aside, as leaders, those who do not meet minimum requirements, who lie, who behave unethically, and who otherwise mistreats, misuses or misleads us, individually or collectively.
Now, don't get me wrong. I am not saying that every leader has to have a doctorate degree. I am calling for authentic leadership from people, men and women, no matter what degrees they have, or don't have, based on their work. And those who come before us as leaders or as subject matter experts shouldn't mind being vetted for the expertise and qualifications they say they have.
There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with checking people out for authenticity. We need people to BE what and who they say they are if they are going to be our so-called leaders.
There is nothing wrong with reading and researching to learn things about people who come before us and present themselves as leaders, or who present themselves as having certain qualifications, knowledge, education or expertise.
Our beloved sister scholar, Dr. Frances Cress Welsing, said, "reading is more important than watching TV."
That is not "hating." That is not being negative. That is not being an agent. That is not being a "coon." That is not being a "feminazi." That is not jealousy.
That is quality control.
We need to stop basing our criteria for leadership only on how good a person looks, what designer clothes a person is wearing, how good they sound and on a person's ability to entertain us. We need to base our choices for leadership on the truth, not on what we want to be the truth.
We can no longer afford fraudulent leadership.
After all, you deserve much better than what you have in Umar Johnson.

My good African people, PLEASE vet your so-called leaders. Read. Study. Use the mind that the Creator gave you to THINK.
After all, you deserve much better than what you have in Umar Johnson.
