Does saying what "the US" should do count as telling white people what to do? I'm sure that Malcolm X and Du Bois suggested at what white people should do sometime. Probably Booker T. Washington too. Those are three people that I've read/listened to (speeches of Malcolm X). I've probably heard someone say what white people should do, but I can't remember the exact place and time. I may have heard some people say "what black people should do" but I don't generally hang around people who make blanket statements like that, so I can't say I can recall where I've heard that either.

OK, so who should black people listen to? Bill Cosby, Julian Bond, and I'm just going to throw out the name of a black sociologist: William Julius Wilson. I think Henry Louis Gates Jr. is pretty good too. He should be listened to. He's pretty balanced and fair. My final answer is Henry Louis Gates Jr.
