Actually, the bro weren't "African-Americans" back in 69 but were 'blacks' a much better appelation than the tainted 'negros'. I'm flummoxed when say a Brit black person is referred to in the PC NY Times as an 'African-American', say what? Or 'Ay?' as I guess you say now.

And don't feel bad about Jesse in '69, because perennial drunkard Ted Kennedy has failed to learn anything at all since back then when he joined Jesse in dissing (they didn't use that term back the either) the lunar landings. That is once he got his Chappaquiddick manslaughter debacle (happened at that same time) off the front pages.
