    Agreed, Harlequino, that was well said indeed, although I think the real issues of racism are multi-varied, and too complex to pinpoint in just one example. Of course money and jobs and education are a significant part of this, although I also think most black academics would point to the crisis in leadership, both in black America, and obviously, with our current national political landscape. I think, as ugly as the 1960's were, there were real leaders: Malcolm, MLK, Bobby Kennedy, JFK, that fought for real change, and people believed in their sincerity. Now everything seems like posturing, and guys like Sharpton and Jesse are just ambulance chasers.

    p.s. Mattyd, that was the scene I was referring to. Thanks.
