    Kenny is a moron for mentioning Sharpton...pretty much discredits anything else he has to say:

    "but you are often quoted alongside the likes of Al Sharpton and even President Obama. I would hope that Sharpton or President Obama would never be referenced with you when picking the next NBA Champs!

    The body of work that our Black Civil Rights leaders put in by planning, executing and activating does not justify you being in the conversation."

    Some background:

    I'd agree and disagree with Mike...govt has helped screw up the black community but I'd say its done more to harm it through breaking up families than just the drug war. The illegitimate birth rate is something like 70% yet its never talked about as the main source of the problem in youths growing up without any real connection or drive to integrate into general society.
