I would be suspicious of (and maybe even a little disappointed with) any conscientious, politically-minded black man running for the democratic presidency in this country if he
didn't have some involvement with black radicalism in his past.
What are the implications here? Really? Are you afraid that Barack is going to reveal his super-duper, double-secret black supremacy plan upon settling in at the White House?

Referring to the US in terms of our society being racist in the past is not racist, it seems to me to be a statement of fact.
Having theories about why Black males are disproportionately incarcerated is a persons theory. If he thinks it is due to racism, we should prove him wrong not dismiss his position.
The US government has used drugs and other sting operations in the Black community to discredit people.
Given American history, he has a prima facia case for his arguments, I think people who disagree, have an obligation to prove him wrong, not just call him a racist. And then on top of that, falsly connect his views to Obama. Obama has enough legit reasons for him not to be President. This is a waste of time for the Presidential race.
