Therein lies part of the problem...the media and most of it white run, when they want a comment on race issues, go straight to them first, as if Jesse and Al are the voice for us all when tere are so many others out there that just as versed if not better versed on issues in the Black communities....when is the last time has white media called on folks like Tavis Smiley, Cornell West or many others to speak on certain issues?
If they left those same two alone, maybe they wouldn't have the general public hating them so much...
