I don't buy "leader of the civil rights movement." But it's a pretty good article.

Al speaks for no ethnic person under 40. We. do. not. fuck. with. him. AT ALL. We have no public leaders nor do we want them. This next civil rights wave is decentralized intentionally. Anyone can connect and start organizing actions in their area.
I've always liked Al, warts and all. His hubris laced vanity, showmanship, intelligence, humor and outrage always seem to be battling it out. The results can be uplifting, hilarious, enlightening or disgusting. If he had become the man he aspired to be he might have been an amazing force in the U.S., instead he will leave a mixed and unsatisfying legacy.
