Kweisi Mfume, NAACP president and CEO
What's this character's REAL name? And isn't this the same guy who was so cozy with Carol Mosely Fraud, former Il. Senatress(DEM)??

Kwesi - or whatever his name is - is from Balto. MD where he has 6 illigitimate children by 6 different mothers - none of whom he has bothered to marry. Don't start with me Kwesi - if you and the NAACP are so damn worried about the low educational achievement of your "black" kids - then put some $$ where your mouth is and stop paying tons of it to the DNC and lobbyists.

His actual "slave" name is Frizzel Gray. And I believe he actually has 5 children by 2 women (none of the women he has bothered to make Mrs. Gray-Mfume, by the way).

Sometime after his 23rd birthday, an epiphany grabbed Frizzell "Pee Wee" Gray by the collar and told him to turn his life around. He was a dropout, a teenage father. Frizzell was from one those parts of Baltimore that don’t make it into any tour book, where he spent his time hanging on the streets, without purpose or hope. He was, as he likes to say now, going nowhere fast. But unlike many of the other boys in the hood, he was driven to make something of himself, to find a way to make his neighborhood and his world a better place to live. He started with the basics. Pee Wee had to go (yeah, Pee Wee!). He needed a name that would give clarity to his new purpose.

A great-aunt visited the west coast of Africa and, at his request, brought the name back. He wanted several so he could mull them over and choose just the right one. But she brought back just one.

"I was a little disturbed, but I could never let her know that," Mfume says. "She explained the name, it’s derivation. She pronounced it. She explained why she had selected that one name and I kind of huffed and stormed away as politely as I could.

What's this character's REAL name? Frizzell Gray. Seven kids by five different women, none of whom he is married to. A true role model, and clearly a man whose opinions on children should be widely heard and respected.
