I hate airing dirty laundry in public, but let's face the fact that black America hasn't stepped up to the plate as much as I wish they had. There were many people who gave their lives for us to be able to enjoy certain rights, and we certainly haven't taken those rights across the board and become great. As a matter of fact, in many ways we've taken major steps backwards.

I will continue to point out acts of racism when I see it, and intolerance, and keep on trying to promote diversity. But tonight, I'm going to do something a little bit different.

There was a cartoon called The Boondocks which was on the Cartoon Network for about a minute. They had one episode where, instead of being assassinated, Dr. King was actually in a long coma, and comes out of it and has to deal with life in today's world. Then, finally, he basically lost his mind and decided to tell the folks just how he saw it.

This clip, if it works correctly, is that piece of the cartoon. I'll be darned if it doesn't tell it like it is,... sigh. :-(

And, by the way, if someone can tell me how you embed the clips into a page, I'd really be appreciative.
