Or will they finally say 'I am sorry' for appointing themselves as our 'leaders'? Who put them in those 'leadership' positions anyway?

I don't think they know how to say the words.

No, the Al and Jesse show goes on the road. That is how they make their money, on the backs of the poor who believe in them. Its OK for Snoope and his bunch to use the same words this Imus guy used, but let a white man say it and they attack like a pack of wild dogs.
For two men to suppose to be Reverends, Jesse has an illegitimate child and Al hates Jews, so imagine that. I say cut off all their funding and see how long they last.

No human is perfect, and it takes a lot of courage to be a leader, or a representative in a leadership role of any kind. Just ask anyone in a leadership role.
How many nationally recognized black women based organizations or nationally recognized black female leaders came to the forefront to attack Don Imus' comments? Think of one. Did you see her go on the attack via the radio, television, newspapers and internet to demand Imus be stopped from going too far again?
Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton don't need to apologize. Black women should have attacked first before Jesse and Al did. If you won't stick up for yourself, then don't attack the leaders who will.
The effects of slavery in the USA are not removed from the culture of USA citizens, and I doubt it ever will be.

Jason Whitlock from the Kansas City star seemed to express your sentiments in a less direct way. He said something to the effect that the Rutgers basketball players were coached to be victims in regards to the comments of Imus. One of them stated she was scarred for life. That is certainly playing the victim role. Why would they give his comments such power over them? Are his opinions necessary for them to validate their accomplishments? That is sad, and Al and Jesse promote that kind of thinking.
Where are black leaders like Martin Luther King? He certainly didn't promote that kind of divisiveness and helplessness. I think today our black community would be better served by better leaders.

I think they put themselves in leadership or supposed leadership. And most journalists believe that they speak for all African Americans. You know..."The squeaking wheel gets the grease"? They are loud squeaking wheels.
I agree with you entirely.

No chance. They would lose way to much money if they did that.

Thank you. I commend you on your honesty, and for not sticking up for these idiots.
