Actually, they ARE the voice of you because they do get the TV time. Most people watch TV, and those two bozos do whatever they can to splash their images all over the TV. Unfortunately, your face isn't on the TV so I have no clue what your views are, but 99% of America knows what Jesse Jacksons and Al Sharptons views are because they are rammed into our retinas daily. They cloak their own racism and bigotry by pimping the black race every chance they can get to further their own ambitions.

There has been a change by alot of youth over the past 10 years. I can see a difference from when I went to school in how young black people think about things. More of a positive note, more are educating themselves and striving for better and better things. It's actually a multi-racial shift. All races have done this. But there are still those out there who still see "The man" as the cause of all their problems. That's where the "Reperation" idea came from. It's mostly supported by those who can't stand on their own.
