WEB you asked the question:
Does saying what "the US" should do count as telling white people what to do?
Then you proceeded to name Malcolm X, WEB Du Bois and Booker T as Black people who did that. Each one of them HISTORICAL FIGURES. With each one of them you failed to mention WHO they suggested Whites heed and follow. With each one of them you failed to mention, by name, even White historical figures they suggested Whites follow.
It was your response "Does saying what "the US" should do count?" that did not make sense. But maybe you believe the default value for American is White. I dunno.

Don't you mean to say since you can't think of any BLACK CONTEMPORARIES of Malcolm X, Du Bois or Booker T" who make suggestions to whites?

No. Not exactly. But since you're having such a hard time at this, go ahead. List those Black people who make suggestions to Whites parellel to the type of gracious, friendly advice Tokie gave:
"Blacks might try taking some of Bill Cosby's advice..."
Man!!! Did you see that? Tokie gave his advice and referenced someone Black that other Blacks should follow!!!
So, there are two people worth mentioning in this bit of social research:
1. The Black speaker/writer/leader granting advice to White Americans; AND
2. The White person (speaker/writer/leader) the Black speaker suggests that Whites should heed and follow.
