...he should know better than to say this crazy stuff...the real irony is that Street was a loudmouth activist firebrand when he was young - breaking into meetings, disrupting council sessions, etc etc - he would have been the first to protest had some white mayor said something equally as divisive - before he "matured".....

Yeah, Street started out as a hot dog vendor, with one of those carts. It was actually his brother Milton (whatever became of him?) who made all the headlines back then. Remember? The Street brothers orchestrated all kinds of hubub when city council sided with the storefront business who got tired of looking out their windows at the street vendors with their carts and so the city decided that since the vendors were using public sidewalks for their "business", they should be taxed just like the permanent businesses. The Street brothers went bananas.
