Hello Booker and Minneapolis Folks,
These are very complicated issues that bring strong emotions from many people. One person cannot speak for everyone, nor should they, but you can represent a group of people that have elected or appointed you to speak on behalf of them . We will also always ha
Eric,
Congratulations. I believe you understood my point.
I have never needed anyone, White, Black, or otherwise to lead me anywhere. I can agree with, or disagree with, someone's point of view, or toss out my own. It is just like Black History Month. Somebody decided that celebrating once
