Do you believe in the diamond in the rough idea?

Now there are variations which seem to still carry weight these days. Statistics like African American 70% out of wedlock births are too much ignored. And these are also fellow Americans, and their kids have opportunities also, I hope.

Now I think there is something cultural going on, as in the rest of America should both accept and embrace this latest African slave imported culture. Now all of us probably admit there are OK kind of things going on, but when one messes with our kids, then things will change. So be it.

This is simply America and our own American culture.

And will citizens accept poor performance and ignorance in the name of governing?

We in America are OK. And we will compromise to do our taxpayer bit at all levels, county, state, and federal. And I think we will do our version of charity with tough love delivered, to do our bit, also. What we won’t do is make our kids future less than anything we thought we could do. In this is the face of change.

I used to teach at Morris Brown College in Atlanta for three years. And you know what, some fellow humans were not diamonds, they were simply others.
