We have allowed Afrikan american men in sports and the so-called "rap game" a free pass to act a damn fool with "bling-bling" Blood Diamonds and Platinum with out a word said about it. They "hunt" and "prey" upon each other as if their life is made to display all of the ill conceived notions about our Afrikan american men. Where is Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, and all the other men of so-called "good" repute and their tending to this problem amoung the sports and "rap-game" section of our community? Where is the de-programming of the script ' "The Making of a Negro"? Is Life imitating so-called Art or so-called Art imitating Life???
