Not from me you won't.
If the press (and Army) had been more balanced in their reporting we'd have had two brave and (by today's standards) heroic ladies in the news and both would have had a chance at better lives in the future. As it is, no one remembers Shoshanna and Jessica has lost all of the aura built around her. On the other hand, you don't typically enlist for the headlines and they mostly managed to be in the wrong place at the wrong time; happens a lot.
However, what's most irritating today is that this thread WAS about a black comedian, someone not really expected to step out of character in front of 'fans' who stood up and told those fans they needed to change THEIR act. That makes two in a very short time.
Instead of seeing this as a sign that there are more potential positive leaders in the black community (i.e. Cosby versus Jackson) FR is wound tight over contrasting a 7 year old with a 15 year old. Well folks, in fact, Elizabeth Smart did squat to help herself. She accepted her fate and would have gone on for a long time accepting her fate...I'd say that had more to say about some back woods Mormon families than race but the comparison remains valid.
Let's live with the one fact and let's focus on the other; there are increasing indications that the black communityin America is growing within. Give Chappelle his due, he is smart, funny, and he has stepped up to the greatest problem within his community. Not a bad resume.
The few times I've watched David Chapelle and Chris Rock, I thought they were funny. When you live in a ghetto, surrounded by people with a ghetto mentality, the same problems,etc. it's very hard to be different. That goes for just about everyone. When you want to be different and outside the 'mainstream' you pay the price.
