Long ago...the estimable NBA analyst Steve Jones watched the 5'3" Muggsy Bogues dominate a game offensively AND defensively and made the remarks quoted in the headline above. This is so true in minority life. A certain local candidate for judge, against all odds, finally wins after six attempts. A certain high school coach loses a job...then finds another in time to put food on the family table. Oddless victories Black Americans know well as Our unemployment rate sours into a Depression.
We watch our favorite teams fight for survival and absorb the battles lost... but celebrate wars won when devastating losses turn a team into a champion. That is the story line some Black-American live. The ones that give the Race hope ! But it is still hard to forget the tragedies.
We have no choice...we have to do what we can do... often over what we are allowed to do.
"Don't let what you can't do...stop what you can do !". Amen Brother Jones.
