Who's the 4th who wasn't black? LeRoi from the Dave
Matthews Band was also black!!

(Yes, a weird conspiracy suggested itself to me, too)

I'm sorry! I didn't know him, and hadn't seen any pictures, so I only went with the ones I knew...
Sorry!
ANd yeah- that really only makes it worse... you'd think somebody had it in for talented black guys or something...
(Morgan Freeman's accident...)

No need to apologize - I can't even remember how I found out.
But I see you didn't mean "3 black guys out of 4 dead ones", but
rather, "3 dead black guys out of 4 black guys who could've been dead."
Yeah, I suppose we were all lucky (but not as lucky as Morgan Freeman!).

& **MY** apologies

I see now how it looked, but no, I wasn't yelling at
you so much as just getting agitated over YET ANOTHER
guy dead (I thought) that I hadn't even heard of. It
was just shock & disbelief on my part, & I apologize
that it looked like anger at you.

I didn't want to offend, and didn't mean to scare you with the thought that there was YET another...
To be truly honest my thought had been "Four guys dead, three known to be black, better to err on the side of caution and known (to me)fact." To be honest- I didn't think of Morgan Freeman's accident until after I'd posted, and it makes it "4 dead black guys out of 5 that could be dead"... yipe!
