"It ain't easy being green." Unless you're rooting against Kobe. Sure, he's a great basketball player. I'd choose him if we were running threes at the local park. (Just don't let him come to the strip club with you afterwards.)
I live in South Carolina and I have for the past five years. I pay fairly close attention to politics; and yet, I must admit that until the day of the election, I'd not heard of Alvin Greene. Of course I opted to vote in the Republican primary, rather than the Democratic one; so I didn't get to vote for or against Alvin anyway. I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to vote in the Republican primary and vote against the son of Strom Thurmond and one of our idiotic US Senators too.
People need to leave Alvin alone. Besides by the time this year is out, no one will remember him anyway.
Concerning to whom the fault of oppression belongs; "We are not all equally guilty but we are all equally responsible" - Rabbi Abraham Hescel
Concerning blaming others for the problem; "...And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?... - Matthew: 7 1-5
Concerning how to fix the problems concerning oppression; "Someone once said that the word 'motivation' should never be used in the singular. Some combination of motives always exist and it's impossible for anyone to qualify the proportion of each that is involved in any given act" - Warren Buffet (in an interview in the USA Today)

You can't make stuff like this up, folks.
Don't hate on Alvin.
