and I view his comments as a wise elder talking to those he wants to do better with the next generation. The way that he said it was offensive to some, Black and White.

Now that the dust has settled, I can see, from his Millionaire status,that he is giving good advice. He was raised in Philadelphia and he was not wealthy. Many in his generation feel that we need to do more to educate our children these days. He is right!

It must be nice to be that rich and have the freedom to say what you believe.
