Maybe I give him too much credit but I think his heart remains in the right place despite his mistakes.
And regarding this topic...no, not racism but rather egotistical I'm afraid..."If I was an African American"...well, you aren't! If I was a bird I could fly! I spent some of the best years of my life in the movement and I learned a lot...but I'm not a black man so I can't speak as one, neither can you!

Somer, I have PERSONALLY met the man on several occasions and I can ASSURE you, he's a POS. Even Bill Cosby is ashamed of him... I do not appreciate what he's done. Perhaps he should look to MLK for guidance, because he has done NOTHING to help the situation and that is JMO!
By the way, what does color have to do with anything?! In order for racism to be abolished, we must stop looking at eachother by the color of our skin!
