bigrodthe1, I got alot of respect for you as a poster, brotha....but I must disagree.
Your statement here almost seems like an excuse for cats to continue to NOT give back or make a similarly positive impact on their communities. "Well, they come from broken homes so they don't know no better....".....well, while that may explain why they don't value the community spirit like other African-American "leaders" of the past, it also doesn't absolve them from that responsibility, either.
It's almost like some Black communities have given up, on some ol' "this is how it is and we ain't gon' change it" type shyt....I can't get with that. You can ALWAYS change your circumstances.....
