I came to this conclusion while listening to news reports about former
Carolina Panther Ray Carruth on trial for murder. I then thought of other
black personalities in trouble with authorities: O.J. Simpson (murder),
Latrell Sprewell (assault), Ray Lewis of the Baltimore Ravens (murder),
Mike Tyson (rape, assault), Tupac Shakur (killed in a drive-by), Snoop
Doggy Dogg (murder, illegal weapons possession), ``Suge'' Knight, Sean
``Puffy'' Combs (weapons charges), and the list goes on and on.
These men and their behavior should be denounced by the so-called black
leaders such as Jesse Jackson and Kweisi Mfume instead of heralded as
heroes and idols by an entire generation of young blacks.
If the black community wants to affix blame somewhere for its bad image
it should look in the mirror.
Eric Dalton, Jackson
