Where are Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson Now

A little over a month ago Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson went on their quest to ban Imus from the media. Sharpton and Jackson saw an opportunity to exploit a white versus black issue no matter how insignificant it may have been. In the past month there have been two things that I have stumbled upon that have seriously called for black leadership to respond and take action, but apparently because white people weren't the crime committees, Jackson and Sharpton didn't need to pop their ugly little heads into the mix. The first occurred early this month in which a black girl was murdered by two black men over a friggin Game of Monopoly. Doesn't that just scream out we need to do something as a community, when someone gets murdered over a border game. But that didn't bring forth any black leaders.

Then there's this crime which happened in January and is straight out of a Horror Film. Not only were there no black leaders there when this went done, but somehow someway it's been multiple months since its occurrence and I only found out about it today because of a link on The Big Lead. If the roles were reversed how many milliseconds would it take for those two to get down to Tennessee and preach white hatred, maybe 3. The first available flight?

This country will never be devoid of racism and racial tension when the media so blatantly skews it's media coverage towards white on black crimes, and to a certain extent disregards the reversal. Why would the average white man not see this as ludicrous? Three words got a man fired because two "leaders" of a minority went on a witch hunt and put every single resource they had into getting the man canned. Meanwhile a group of 4 make the sickest torture film you could possibly imagine on two white college students yet you do not here a single peep from the black powers or a peep from the media. There will never be equality without the attempt of both sides treating things equality, and since it is apparent that people like Sharpton and Jackson are unwilling to do so, well than they should further expect to push some white people in the wrong direction.

I couldn't agree more, the media is taking the wrong approach in trying to rid the country of racism. Just taking sports for example its tough to ignore that everyday you turn around and there is a racial issue: not enough African American coaches/managers, fouls getting called based on race, not enough minorities in hockey, etc. But how can we move on from these issues when the media has to keep bringing it up. We are supposed to be past the point of skin color and everyone should be just seen as people not black or white.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
