So now Kobe Bryant finally is supposed to be accepted by inner-city black kids? So now the middle class-bred Bryant is supposed to have -- I hate this term -- street credibility?

All because the Los Angeles Lakers star recently was arrested in Colorado on a felony count of sexual assault?

Flip through enough television channels and you'll hear this conclusion more than once from the high-brow experts: Kobe's got "street cred" now. Inner-city black kids, who loathed him before, can identify with him now. His Nikes will sell like crazy.
