"but mabye these people should be protesting our daily urban murder-fest with the same vigor?"
ok. i'm with you 100% on that. the protest thing is usually so misdirected. i think i first realized that when the NAACP decided to boycott The Color Purple. i thought "have they nothing else to do?" recently Jessie called for a boycott of Seinfeld 'cause of Michael Richards. i emailed PUSH and asked "why not boycott the rappers and comics who use the word constantly?" they haven't gotten back to me.
i don't know what i would do if one of our present day "so-called leaders" planned a protest that actually made sense. i guess i would go.
i'm not campaigning for the single parent thing, it happens... way more than it should. "babies having babies" is the real problem there, i think. the kid is pretty much on his/her own.
