Fifty-five crystal spheres geared to God’s crankshaft is my idea of a satisfying universe. I can’t think of anything more trivial than quarks, quasars, big bangs and black holes Picture Quote #1

Life is a million different dots making one gigantic picture. And maybe the big picture is nice, maybe it’s amazing, but if you’re standing with your face pressed up against a bunch of black dots, it’s really hard to tell Picture Quote #1

Everybody who is anyone wanted to meet a real life gangster, and here’s Joey Gallo hitting the scene. What more could you want with a gangster? He looked the part. They call it gangster chic.

Bill Clinton did everything in opposition to Black Lives Matter and the things that animate the existence of the Democrat Party today Picture Quote #1

Bipolar disorder, manic depression, depression, black dog, whatever you want to call it, is inherent in our society. It’s a product of stress and in my case over-work Picture Quote #1

Sometimes I even feel funny to say I’m in a biracial marriage because people are like, ‘Oh, he’s Asian?’ The subtext is, ‘Who cares? You didn’t marry a black person.’ Picture Quote #1

Just as important I believe, is Black America can look back at the show and say, Wow, I think I now understand why a lot of white people were appalled at the acquittal of O.J. Simpson Picture Quote #1

Black America surely faces an existential crisis, but not the one imagined in the condescending news media - of somehow getting non-black America to be more just and generous.

And there are huge and growing chasms daily. And I want to say that it’s not simply about generation. It’s about genre Picture Quote #1

The Government is responsible for what is happening to black people in America Picture Quote #1
