Went to a black inner-city grade school to help in a community support project. I brought a baseball, bat, and set up a baseball game for the kids. They were very enthusiastic but didn't have a clue of how to play. They joyously ran the wrong way around the bases and and didn't realize what 3 outs or strikes meant. Maybe these kids just need black mentors who will spend a little baseball time with them. They're kids and they need someone who cares enough to spend some time with them. Not a bunch of grandstanding opportunists like Jesse who are never really there for them. Why can't the leaders in the black community realize these kids need them as mentors and stop blaming everything and everbody else for their problems? Start with a baseball game, not the blame game.
