    Hey Common:

    Why don't you email that list to Jennings Bernard? That will give him a list of places he can move to so he can have "Black leadership" again.

    LOL...

    Oh, I know Memphis is on the list, but remember he doesn't consider Herenton as Black. Herenton, in his mind, is an extension of Pitt Hyde and Fred Smith.

    I'm simply pointing out how flawed his argument is.
