5th,

you are right, you did make a fool of yourself :)

Anyhow, I feel you on the stuff about "African-Americans" looking down on us. Remember last year, after the Common show, when Common's road manager called someone names? Don't know if you remember that so let me recap - some guy (from Africa, Ethiopia I believe) was asking Common's roadie for a t-shirt with Com's logo on it. True, the guy went about it the wrong way - telling the roadie we should be getting shirts for free and stuff - but what followed was totally uncalled for. Common's roadie called the guy "cheap African mother-fucker!", with an emphasis on African! I'll never forget that, especially since it was right after my first OKP concert. Really hurt.

Just wanted to add my $ 0.02.
