Mad props to this guy...and if any fan complains of him being out for an extended period of time, they can go f-ck off.
"But it is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without, at the same time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society. These conditions are the things that cause individuals to feel that they have no other alternative than to engage in violent rebellions to get attention. And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the plight of the negro poor has worsened over the last twelve or fifteen years. It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice and humanity." - Martin Luther King, Jr

Read about that.  It really says something about people when they are put in emergency situations.  Props to him.

Y'know, when this story came out a few days ago I was really hoping it wasn't a bunch of BS but then thought there's no way someone could implicate another family member (his nephew) in that way. I stand corrected.

Fuck him. I hope he loses his scholarship and gets kicked out.
