• racism doesn't have to show itself as hatred in order to be destructive...
• that special mama deserves better than experiencing that thing about "good deeds"
• one game you do not want your kids playing...period.

SNEAK PREVIEW of this week's ONE LAST THOUGHT...

what happened in Baltimore between the police and Freddie Gray is now in the hands of the legal
system and it will play out however it plays out…..what happened starting the day Freddie Gray was buried had nothing to do with the death of a black man at the hands of the police….it has everything to do with the ugly underbelly of the society that we sometimes smugly like to think has come so far and accomplished so much in terms of education and opportunity and, put simply, hope…the kind of hope that gets us out of bed in the morning with the sense that we will succeed at something that day or achieve something that day….in the absence of hope, there are bricks and blazes, the tools of the hopeless….the kind of hopelessness that manifests itself as despair, dejection, apathy and, every now and then, a perfect storm of anger, resentment and ignorance…ignorance caused by a lack of education and opportunity and hope…ignorance that breeds fear…fear that breeds hatred…and hatred that throws bricks through windows and sets fire to drug stores…..when someone asks for your vote next time, don’t let that candidate walk away from you until you get them to tell you how they are going to inspire, enlighten, educate and inject hope back into neighborhoods and people who don’t have any….if they have no answer for you…walk away from them…because they are of no use to us…..hope is a thing with feathers that perches in the soul…in the absence of hope, there are bricks and there are blazes……
