A certain segment of this discussion made me laugh, regarding persons of dubious reputations,and perhaps having double consciousness. It instantly reminded me of a character
from the movie– “Uptown Saturday Night”,1974; wherein, a shifty Congressman [ Chesley Lincoln ] played by Roscoe Lee Brown; while running for re-election, Lincoln dresses and sets
his office in a conservative manner to appeal to the white majority in order to keep his power. When informed that his guests are black, he immediately switches to an Afrocentric
presence by putting on clothes with African fabric. Unfortunately, people of this ilk, actually exist in our communities.
