Tragic Irony
It's sad that someone who's motto was "Keep Hope Alive," has been reduced to being a bitter grouch when faced with the reality that someone who's using a similar message of hope is, in many ways, his political successor.
Another thing: why was it when Bill Cosby (who has made similar comments in the past) was partially right on black people spending in excess, even his "Black People Must Take Responsibility Tour" was dismissed as being old and out of touch.
I guess the silver lining is that Al Sharpton (for once) isn't siding with Jesse Jackson. He says about Obama's comments on race and responsibility, "I think people misunderstand. I disagree that he's talking down to black people. The civil rights movement of the 21st century must be government accountability and personal responsibility."
