That's refreshing, Beanie.

I liken this to Italian Americans years ago. The Black community will eventually get tired of the Sharptons and Jacksons of this world in much the same way that Italian Americans in the old urban strongholds got tired of being extorted by the mob.

Preying on your own kind: A tradition as old as this country.
