Your problem is that you are not in the least bit interested in the politics of the Black Radical Congress. You are pontificating on what it might represent with zero knowledge of the substance of what went on, or the politics of the participants. This willful refusal to engage with what you are opposed to ideologically is obvious to everyone but you.
To assist you in focusing your thoughts, I will post a section of Herb Boyd's article on The Evolution of Radical Black Thought, which is on the BRC homepage. It has nothing to do with your poorly formed impressions, which are stoked by your emotions, and filled with ignorance.
