1. Refreshing and he appears genuine. n/t

3. He does and I loved the way he handled the sputtering CNN guy's question about being black

As in, hey, you're black, what does that mean for the situation? Kind of like Doug Williams being asked how long he has been a black quarterback.

The answer, as he put it in so many words, is he's responding as a human being. Race is window dressing if you don't have the proper impulses as a human being.

2. So good

to experience sanity instead of the militarized insanity that some, in this society, deems appropriate when deal with black people. Voice of reason.

4. Praying for the safety and divine protection of Capt. Ron Johnson........

And that he obtains some much-needed and well-deserved rest.
