A few black leaders have tried to gain a respectable voice among them to help navigate the blacks into general assimilation, such as Mr. Cosby, but have been largely ballyhooed as an Uncle Tom. Persons such as Sharpton and Jackson have done their own race an enormous discredit from which it will take many decades to recover and possibly never will if blacks continue attributing credit and respect to such voices.

I agree completely!
