(full disclosure: I'm a black founder) Mike's friends were right to tell him to stop talking because this is one of those issues, as evidenced by 90% of the responses below, that quickly gets twisted to help sharpen the axe that so many wish to grind. We've got posts citing the percentage of prisoners who are black and some focused on what they perceive to be the lack of ethics in journalism.

None of which have anything to do with the reality of your situation with regard to CNN and this interview. Mike, you were used as the key to open Pandora's box. Doesn't mean you have to stay in the keyhole. Move on. You aren't the first and you certainly won't be the last. Instead of worrying about what a sea of individuals think, worry about what you can control. You've got a new platform with Uncrunched/CrunchFund. Use it to be future focused.
