THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
A BOSS AND A LEADER
A Boss:
Behaves like a BULLY by picking, on the weak, shouting, lying berating, embarassing, and ganging up on individuals with their cronies, lackeys, flunkeys, sycophants, and brown-nosers.
A Boss is overbearing, condescending, and intimidating. They demand loyalty and submission based on fear. A Boss damages the organization, group, or project just to show they have power over everyone. A Boss has a superiority attitude and an inferiority complex. They claim to have what they do not and will discount anyone who has more education, abilities, talents, and accomplishments. Bosses are full of themselves and not much else
The DIFFERENCE
PASSING THE BATON
Our spiritual elders are passing the baton to this present generation. I call them the A3 Generation (A to the THIRD POWER). This generation is Aware, Alert, and Activistic. This generation is the generation we have prayed and waited for since slavery. They are standing on the shoulders of our African ancestors, enslaved and free, martyrs who did not bow down or break under the yoke of the Dark, Evil and inhumane institutions of Slavery, Jim Crow, Apartheid, and exploitative Racism.
They are the culmination of our sacrifices, struggles, sufferings, progress, and advances. They are grasping (the act of taking, holding or seizing firmly) the baton of our people and running the race to liberation, social and economic justice, and equality for all. They will realize the dream of our people that has been deferred far too long.

Gaspar Yanga—often simply Yanga or Nyanga (May 14, 1545 - ) was an African who led a maroon colony of slaves in the highlands near Veracruz, Mexico (then New Spain) during the early period of Spanish colonial rule. He successfully resisted a Spanish attack on the colony in 1609. The Maroons continued their raids on Spanish settlements. Finally, in 1618, Yanga achieved an agreement with the colonial government for self-rule of the maroon settlement. It was later called San Lorenzo de Los Negros, and also San Lorenzo de Cerralvo.
