"Interesting, I recall seeing a white supremacist on some "talk" show (Geraldo or maybe Jerry)."

I live in Sarasota. The Cincinnati Reds have Spring Trng here. Unfortunately, Jerry Springer also lives here; he used to be the Mayor of Cincinnati. He was at a Spring Trng game this year and I yelled to him from about 4 rows away - 'You were a crummy mayor.' I didn't mention the check he wrote to a hooker which came back to haunt him in the newspaper.
"Duke Ellington has more in common with Ravel than with Snoop Dogg. Scott Joplin would have regarded today's "black culture" as an oxymoron. To eliminate a century and a half's tradition of beauty and grace from your identity isn't "keepin' it real"; it's keepin' millions of young black men and women unreal in ways the most malevolent bull-necked racist could never have devised."
What a wonderful paragraph! Let the world come gladly to enlightenment!
