okay,
i'm back at it in a big way, y'all...
i really want CLARENCE THOMAS to recognize what is really going on in this country. as long as we have SYSTEMATIC racism and discrimination, there will always be a need for AFFIRMATIVE ACTION. so long as there are people who are disadvantaged based on statuses they were ascribed to by virtue of their birth, we need mechanisms to ensure that they have the same opportunities as those priviliged classes in society. NOW, as one of the greatest benefactors of ALL TIME from having AFFIRMATIVE ACTION, how DARE your little black behind forget how you got to the supreme court! and don't you dare quote FREDERICK DOUGLAS in explaining why you voted against AFF. Action.-- that's some kind of blasphemy! talking abou "black people need to pull themselves up by the boot straps"... as they said on the tom joyner morning show-- CLARENCE WOULDN'T EVEN HAVE BOOTS IF IT WEREN'T for AFFIRMATIVE ACTION!

next, for those of you keep an eye on politics... they had the prospective democratic candidates speaking on sunday. it does my heart good to see two African-Americans throwing their hat in the ring, so to speak. just one little thing...
to my dawg AL SHARPTON-- you were off the chain answering those questions about diversity("clarence thomas may be my color, but he's not my kind!") and the war in iraq("i wouldn't have a problem pulling out of iraq, because i never would have went in to begin with!")... BUT...
when will you cut the perm? i love the relaxed look--i sport it myself-- but judging the size of the curls in your coiff, i know you spend more time on your hair than i do...
let it go, brother al. let it go.
