One of the star players on my son's baseball team was involved in the murder of a cab driver. Although he didn't shoot the dirver, he was one of three teens who held him up, resulting in the death.

From my perspective seeing him and his parents at several practices and games every week, I was shocked that he would run with these bad guys since he had so much going for him, and so did his parents, but I think that is expected in the black community these days.

That is where Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have failed blacks, they urge them to be angry instead of accepting responsibility for their own actions. Too many talented young black people are joining the crowds of angry black youth who prey on their communities, because that is what is expected of them.

That says it all.
