How many other talented producers are out there who's biggest offense against society is a parking ticket? Are people worried that if we don't shine the spotlight on R that there will not be others who will step up and shine?
To me, the problem is larger than the NCAAP. The problem is some black people don't want to say ANYTHING negative about another black person, for fear of not presenting a united front. "Claiming" a person whose negative acts balance or outweigh their positive acts does nothing to benefit "us" as a group.

We have to start cleaning up our own mess, and the problem is much larger than the NAACP, that I do agree with. I just suspect that there's a strain of nihilism in us that just can't be snuffed.
