It's Hard To Say What Role Race

I Am Making Amends And Seeking Forgiveness. My Only Hope Is That Some Good Can Come Out Of My Situation.

One Of My Weaknesses Happens To Be Lying, And I Could Tell You That I'm Never Going To Lie Again In My Life, But That Would Be A Lie.

I Can't Say Anything Other Than The Fact That I Feel A Range Of Emotions Including Guilt, Shame, Sadness, Betrayal, Freedom And Appreciation For Those Who Have Stood By Me, Been Tough On Me, And Have Taken The Time To Understand That There Is A Deeper Story And Not To Believe Everything They Read In The Newspapers.

I Have Lived A Life That Has Been Beautiful And Painful At Some Moments. But I Am Convinced Others Can Learn How To Control A Certain Kind Of Rage That Bubbles Up In Many Americans, Particularly, But Not Limited To, Women, Blacks, And Other Minorities.

I Used To Walk Around Saying That I'm Just Another Black Man Without A College Degree.
