And if he were white would you added that to your comment or just let it go that he's an inspiration? Maybe it seems small but it speaks to the divide on our side.

I really couldn't be bothered with nitpicking about stuff like this, but IMHO Blacks need better role models than rappers and Jesse Jackson.

I believe there's a valid point here. Usually, when you see a picture of a black man on the front page of the paper or leading the news he's either a criminal or a poverty pimp, or someone debasing national culture for personal enrichment. Here's a guy who could live better than me or (I suspect) you off of being his brother's attendant; instead, he risks his life for all of us, for one hell of a lot less money.
