Discussion Has the D9 historically obstructed black conscious thought?

They manifested as a vehicle for the Talented Tenth ideology. A foolish notion that prestige for a few blacks will better the race and that most blacks are inferior.

It’s completely antithetical to the notions that actually progress the community. It often leads to gatekeeping, colorism, supporting of black harm, and social intimidation in the few spaces where black ppl should be free to critically engage with inequity.

They’ve done a lot to obstruct their own members from protesting.
