I see ST's point, though. Look at where Spike delivered his message - at a University. If someone is at university, they are either (1) already part of the middle/upper class, or (2) striving to get there. It is a good and important message but Spike (and many others) are merely preaching to the choir.
I've yet to see any prominent African American dare to take this message to the people who need to hear it most. Now granted, I'm up here in the Great White North and it might not have made the news cycles up here, but is anyone going this route?
