HIV and AIDS in the African-American community

This Nightline segment by Terry Moran is a must see or a must read (if you get the transcript) for anybody even thinking about having sex with an African-American!.  Moran lays out 5 reasons why HIV is rampant in the African-American community and why black "leaders" focus on HIV and AIDS in Africa rather than focusing on their own community.  The 5 reasons are: Ignorance, Governmental Failure, Sex and patterns of Sexual Behavior, What it means to be gay and black (being on the DL and prison issues), and the Failure to Lead by African-American leaders.  The segement is shocking especially when you see Jesse Jackson blame HIV in the African-American community on George Bush.  Jesse stares blankly into the camera when Moran asks him about failed leadership and sexual behavior in the black community, especially his own.  Jesse begins talking about Africa, Moran redirects him, and then Jesse blames Bush.  Priceless.  What is even more disgusting is that Jesse has never mentioned HIV in the African-American community, but George Bush has...in his State of the Union Address.
