I was watching Kobe's court preceding on Court TV and there was a very outspoken sista that felt like Kobe was trying to lean on African Americans for sympathy (much like OJ) and never did much for the AA community. I must admit it makes me a little upset to see black athletes marry white women once they have reached their "status" and I guess SOME would consider that turning your back on your people. But I think that this whole cases might turn racial much like the OJ case plus, with the town only having (2) two AA I don't think that he hearing is going to be as equal as it could be....one of the first things I would have requested is an change of venue!
What do you all think?

Kobe isn't even 25 years old yet, what expectations does this woman have of him??? Who said Kobe was leaning on the AA community??
Vanessa's mostly Latina, which means that if you dig far enough into her family tree, you will find people of African descent.
Like Steeltrap posted, there are plenty of AA athletes/celebs with AA spouses who don't do much for our community.
