So have you herd all of our so called black leaders are up in arms again about some comments made by yet another ignorant person not of color. Oh no get the soapboxes out so they can proclaim their outrage once more. The ambulance chasers are back in black and united against these intolerable acts. But here are the true facts for every Tom, Dick & Imus there's a Tim, Flav, and New York that give people the opinion that we are lazy niggers or nappy headed ho's. Where are the calls to outrage that Vh1 for all their good is helping create an image and set our race back? Where were the good revs when flavor of love got its first season? Where is the leadership oh that’s right out protesting the bandwagon event of the moment is banning 50 cent really something our self appointed leaders should be concerning themselves with? Aren't they vastly more important issues for them to deal with? Where are my 40 acres and a mule? Where's my fair chance at equal opportunity? Why are our people segregated not by race but by class? Why is New Orleans sill not rebuilt? Don't get me wrong I think that imus is an ass for what he said and should be handled properly but is this really a cause for our leaders to get behind?
