Exactly! I was going to add Dr. Thomas Sowell, Dr. Walter Williams, Ward Connerly, Roy & Niger Innes, Alan Keyes... The list goes on and on.
These proponants of the "Thug Life," who claim "Black heritage" for their "style" need to ask themselves one thing... WWFDD? (What Would Frederick Douglass Do?)!

Don't forget Bill Cosby, or to go historical, George Washington Carver. Two classic examples of fine Americans who pulled themselves up by their bootstraps, despite being born in adverse circumstances.
WWFDD? He would be kicking them in their butts up and down the street! He had a firey temper and would have been outraged at the activities of these so-called "African-Americans"!
