It Doesn't Have To Glitter To Be

In America You're Conditioned To Regard Everything As A Contest. You Have To Make The Ten Best Dressed List, Win This, Win That. It Drives Me Nuts Sometimes. Who Cares, For Christ's Sake?

When Bright Young Minds Can't Afford College, America Pays The Price.

I'm Learning To Use Others' Weaknesses. I Don't Hammer A Man's Soft Spot Constantly, Because He May Strengthen It. I Just Save It As A Trump Up My Sleeve For Moments When I Really Need A Point.

Seven Out Of 10 Black Faces You See On Television Are Athletes. The Black Athlete Carries The Image Of The Black Community. He Carries The Cross, In A Way, Until Blacks Make Inroads In Other Dimensions.

We See Basketball Players And Pop Singers As Possible Role Models, When Nothing Could Be Further, In Most Cases, From Their Capacities.
