If it makes the news, that is usually the case.  Maybe you could do some
research of your own and find something that refutes what Jeff says?

There is an activist in Louisville, Kentucky named Christopher 2X.  I have
not seen him on the news in a while, but he seems to stand up for the
community as a whole.  Especially, but not just, the African-American
community.  He seems like someone who really wants to help resolve
community conflicts.  There is also a movement in Lexington where older,
and high-profile, male black citizens apparently get together and try to
figure out ways to make things better, serve as positive role models, etc.

Those kind of hands-on, and not always in front of camera, approaches
probably help a lot more than people who show up while the cameras are
rolling, point fingers, and then disappear.

Speaking of Al Sharpton, have you seen him in the media lately?  I have not
in quite a while.
