In reply to Jasmine (The Real Jasmine).

That man made mistakes but he did what he did to keep his kids out of trouble in Gary Indiana. And to sit and listen to white woman trying to tell a black man with nine children (6 black boys, 3 girls) growing up in gang/crime area in Gary with few good jobs for blacks (Tito had a gun put to his head over a dime) on what he should have done is stupid. Again, Joe made mistakes but I believe he had good intentions and his kids forgave him. That is all that matters. Bette, have a seat. You were NO saint either.
