Thank God for Mike Waters who can lift us out of our cesspool of ignorance and show us the light. I never dreamed that there was anything beyond Utah County. Here I thought all black folk were like the Jeffersons or that Bill Cosby family.

I wasn't trying to challenge you. I was curious. That must have been a rush to win a national championship in something as a youth no matter how competitive the field was. I went to Little League baseball playoffs in California after winning the state championship and it was a blast. The rich white kids from Cali kicked our ass. Rich 12 yo white kids throwing heat mixed with breaking balls that dropped two feet. A lot of the rich white kids even had dark skin and afro's or spoke Spanish.

It's less of a rush than you think. At least for me.
