Radio host Michael Baisden has gone head-to-head with the group Color of Change over accountability for the funds raised for the Jena 6 ... something we discussed on our blogger's roundtable.
On Baisden's show, Mychal Bell's father, Marcus Jones, accused the group of misappropriating funds. The Color of Change, on the other hand, has gone so far as to post copies of canceled checks showing how they gave the money to the families.
The website Daily Kos is explaining this fight as "netroots" activists versus "more establishment African Americans."
Do you think that's the issue? And is this undermining the civil rights conversation that came out of Jena 6?
