Thank you Sekhemu. I am honored and humbled.
There are many Sisters and Brothers doing all kinds of wrong things. I'm sure we could each look in our own lives and find some wrong. It's just that Kobe, OJ, Jim Brown, etc., are in the public eye. Their wrong is there for all to see, but they don't begin to represent the thousands of us who are making poor decisions, primarily due to being African in a system of white supremacy. I don't disagree that the alleged acts are wrong, but the acts are not my focus. As long as we are oppressed, we will see things like this, and worse. If we begin to disown, divide, and separate ourselves from Sisters and Brothers that have committed some wrong act living under oppression ... there will be no Africans worthy of uniting with.
