Well Of Course I Get Depressed Sometimes,

I Do Think It's Extremely Important To Acknowledge The Gains That Were Made By The Civil Rights Movement, The Black Power Movement.institutional Transformations Happened Directly As A Result Of The Movements That People, Unnamed People, Organized And Gave Their Lives To.

I Grew Up In The Southern United States In A City Which At That Time During The Late '40's And Early '50's Was The Most Segregated City In The Country, And In A Sense Learning How To Oppose The Status Quo Was A Question Of Survival.

Well, We See An Increasingly Weaker Labor Movement As A Result Of The Overall Assault On The Labor Movement And As A Result Of The Globalization Of Capital.

No March, Movement, Or Agenda That Defines Manhood In The Narrowest Terms And Seeks To Make Women Lesser Partners In This Quest For Equality Can Be Considered A Positive Step.

I Think That Has To Do With My Awareness That In A Sense We All Have A Certain Measure Of Responsibility To Those Who Have Made It Possible For Us To Take Advantage Of The Opportunities. The Door Is Opened Only So Far. If Some Of Us Can Squeeze Through The Crack Of That Door, Then We Owe It To Those Who Have Made Those Demands That The Door Be Opened To Use The Knowledge Or The Skills That We Acquire Not Only For Ourselves But In The Service Of The Community As Well. This Is Something That I Guess I Decided A Long Time Ago.
