  • thank u so much for ...

    thank u so much for posting. havent heard anything from Bill Withers in a while, this gave me an update. he made a good point"when u come out the coal mines,everybody's black". very similar to this economic recession we're in-no matter our color-we are all affected by it, somehow, someway. maybe this is God's way of telling us that we are no different from one another when u get right down to it.

    Fantastic insight regarding remedies for racism - even back in the day. No have's/have nots in the smaller towns that dealt with economic hardship. Every cloud does have its' silver lining. G-d bless him - what a wise man!
