I definitely refer to myself as a Race person. I really loved the message about service also. Great and inspiring talk.

May 24 and Mr. Floyd is downing drugs and thinking about where he'll buy smokes with a counterfeit bill - there is no serious racism in the USA. May 25 - SERIOUS RACISM BREAKS OUT!

@Elegant Oprah Thank God wise black men don't agree. "Racism is not dead. But it is on life-support, kept alive mainly by the people who use it for an excuse or to keep minority communities fearful or resentful enough to turn out as a voting bloc on election day." - Thomas Sowell

Why lead with trashy music? Basie? Fitzgerald? Simone, Ellington?
