I say this NOT as a slight but a provable fact.<br />If you were to use the Blogger "label" system to record the subject of each of your posts - which labels would come out most frequently?<br /><br />* Tea Party<br />* Republicans<br />* Rush Limbaugh<br />* Black Education<br />* Black Economic Progress<br />* Safe Black Communities<br />* The Black Culture As The Basis For Healthy Male/Female Relationships Within The Black Community<br /><br />The term 'RESPECTABLE NEGRO' appears to be something that is marketed to EXTERNAL people who make the ultimate appraisal of one's actions.

Where is a guest post from you good sir?<br /><br />@Tanya. There is an archive already on the site. It was good...I think. Long interviews are hard because you have to change the game and let things flow and not be rushed. I like your calling attention to that quote. Just walk sister. That is all I ask for each day. When we do that things will be fine one way or another.chaunceydevegahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09652406326490873337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-21917797524216810762011-09-11T00:13:30.602-05:002011-09-11T00:13:30.602-05:00I could put "They want to get along in the wo...I could put "They want to get along in the world quietly and unobtrusively, but they do not want to be looked down upon with contempt," on my headstone. I've been searching for that my entire adult life. But I guess I wouldn't be me if it had been easy. <br /><br />I'm on the west coast so I assume you've already finished your interview - either way, Well Wishes!Henri B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00892218291117471971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-11215432591704449752011-09-10T20:30:39.726-05:002011-09-10T20:30:39.726-05:00I have often said in these comments that the story...I have often said in these comments that the story of Black Americans is a story of triumph. Unique, unqualified triumph. That it should come as a surprise to anybody is, well, surprising to me. <br /><br />You are an agent of this triumph, Professor. (So is Greg, by the way.) Good luck on the show.fred chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10812811681270634366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-58265726176672093182011-09-10T19:27:29.377-05:002011-09-10T19:27:29.377-05:00@Thrasher.
