Mar 21, 2008 - The other night at the Cheesecake Factory in Buckhead, I ate a steak and looked out on the MARTA stop, all those black bodies in the rain. I felt the ICE AGE. I was the ICE AGE. What to do? I ate steak, and watched basketball, where whites were "tough" and blacks "athletic."

It's a tad bit shameful that the norm of this country is to discredit talks of race matters that are vivid as the ers of civil rights movements of the '60s. It's 2011, now, and what we look like and where we come from continue to have weight on acceptance....

Jan 19, 2011 - I love Dr. West; one best gift that america has given to the world. There is alot of love, compassion, dignity, equity, and realism in this beautiful African American. Yes, he's the most genious man I've ever listened to. Yes, he is my hero, second to Dr. M. King, of course! I don't believe in gods, empires, regimes, emperialism, supremacy, for they full of subconscious selfishness. I solute those with the courage to speak the truth, dignity, and the dream we all seek to achieve as human beings.
