Maybe the Oscar was mind altering for him,I am very disappointed.There are more people in prison today than there were slaves back then,what we have today tantamounts to "slavery by a different name".

one if the interviews regarding his controversial meeting with the leader of the KKK reported that the cnan leader said as long as there is one caucasian in American,a black will never be president.Sure Obama became the president but he could have easily been the son of any caucasian and of course we only see my race in him.The problem of racism is far too complex to require simple fixes,Common is delusional..,very careless of him given there is the existence if a vibrant,informed "dark skinned pelt"
