I laughed, and said to myself, "I'll answer YOU later."   And I did - which sent me searching for my old, buddy Jimmy (Yeah, I do feel him like that!).

Let the chu'ch say - "Amen!"  (And my sister from Jamaica touched on our own, Black, American - "shade problem" - didn't she?  Don't act like y'all don't know!  All of us in the diaspora have been similarly infected affected by it - whether we want to admit it or not).



(My sister, at about the 5:07 click, was too funny! I could just hear her saying - because I said the same damned thing! - "Man, don't be coughin' all over people!)

Dick Gregory just took me on home with his critically informed wit. And tell me - when was the last time you saw such graciousness, honor and respect among Black men as expressed from the 13:31 click forward?
