SoCal,

I hear you. Speaking of stats. Growing up I always heard about the alarming divorce rates. At one point, a stat always used in articles was that "one in 2 marriages end in divorce".I never verified that stat, but even it wasn't accurate, the divorce rate the past two generations definitely had a huge impact on what the marriage rates are today. People really don't believe in marriage as much as they used to.


F1,

Thanks. GREAT pull.I guess the thinking behind the last stanza was that the Africans were supposed to just accept their fates. ..and that they were wrong for wanting freedom. George Carlin had a great comedy line about this glaring contradiction.

Also I didn't know that CK had recently converted to Islam. I hope he's equally consistent in pointing out the centuries long abuse and discrimination that African people face in countries where the Islamic flag flies.
