fellow oppressed athletes are telling us to listen before we bitch, I certainly hope he follows his "statement" with deep details about all that is wrong in America and what needs to be done to fix it. There is no reason to complain about a problem without a recommended solution. He has the stage, we're waiting. Or is he going to just fall in line with the current American way to blame others for your issues.
Of course, I'm also anxious to see if he is going to have any "statements" for inner city blacks whose murder rates and illegitimate births just continue to rise or for liberal leaders who have allowed the NEA and unions to effectively block black Americans from climbing up the socio-economic ladder.
