Harvard Law School professor Randall Kennedy explores problems of loyalty and disloyalty among African-Americans in his new book 'Sellout.' Condoleezza Rice, Colin Powell, Barack Obama, Vernon Jordan, Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and Clarence Thomas have all been stigmatized in certain quarters as "sellouts." Kennedy outlines the history of the idea of "racial betrayal" among blacks, who "owns" black culture, and explores what the stigma is really all about.
