He's Black, and Southern... Is it ANY wonder that a LOT of condescending people on here merely want to call him stoooopid, instead of offering any helpful ideas about how THEY would do anything any differently.
I'd like to stick about 50 cameras in front of the poeple here, and then start asking extremely difficult, unanswerable questions to them, and then see how THEY fare.
Where I come from, people usually ADMIRE others who have tried to improve themselves over time. The notion of the 'self-made' man USED TO mean something in this country.
