The problems that black professional athletes are experiencing are a direct reflection of a pervasive problem within black youth hip-hop/prison culture, and that we as black folks need to awake from our denial and confront the negative aspects of this deadly culture before it does any more damage.

A voice in the wilderness.

Most of the panel attacked him for saying this. Same old song and dance from black "leaders."

Baseball has it's own problems but has remained relatively free of the hip hop culture and the violence associated with it. Personally I think it has a lot to do with the lack of instant success in baseball. When you really have to work for something it makes it much more valuable and worth keeping.
