Another point to consider. I talked recently with a friend of mine on the role/responsibility of our people in business. Surely we all have to turn a profit, and effectively manage the bottom line to stay in business.
But after you reach a certain point, does not say a Bob Johnson, when taking into account the severity of the problems in "our"community," and realizing the image/impact of his product on Black youth, owe it to the point of sacrificing perhaps the profit of one or two less booty-shaking videos for the overall betterment of our village?
Sure, the easy and obvious answer is that B. Johnson should grab as much cheddar as the next guy -- but look past the obvious. If you're the black Bill Gates, and you made your empire on the support of your community, do you have any more responsibility to us than a white businessman might have to the majority community?
