"No one man should have all that much power." - The New York Police stated that when they watched Malcolm X control a crowd of over a 100 African-Americans with one turn of his hand. I would like for you to keep that image in your head when you listen to Kanye West's new single 'Power". When any African-American male in America obtains any type of power it is shortly taken from him:Malcolm X, Dr. Martin Luther King, Medgar Evers, Fred Hampton, Huey Newton, Nat Turner, Harold Washington, Kwame Ture, and Tupac Shakur. Imagine what moment Mr. Shakur could shape if he could focus the energy of the youth towards the movement. No one man should have all that power.
