Nobody is saying the owners aren't doing their part but the track owners (lets look closely at crooks like Magna for example) certainly must do more! It's easy to be critical of someone like Jesse...but he and Al Sharpton, for all their shortcomings, continue to be the social critics this culture needs.

Somer, I have met Jesse too, and I disagree with you. He uses other blacks to line his pockets. He is close friends with a HUGE attorney down in south Florida that I know personally, and I was "lucky" enough to meet Jesse on numerous occasions. It is SAD what he has done and that is JMO.
