I couldn't believe it!!!! Then he said that African-Americans should stop complaining every time a black kid is shot. He said that they get shot for stealing "Coke and pund cake" and instead of bitching about him being shot, they should ask what the hell he was doing with "the pound cake."

I was stunned. He is getting to be quite risque in his old age.
Well, he is saying the truth about alot of people. I just think it will have the ramifications of being applied to all African Americans and that is the danger of what he said, etc.
