ericcolemanYou've all seen the article about the kids in Philly who were going to go to a private pool for the summer, then they got kicked out because they "changed the complexion" of the place.
There was a friend of mine who would go off about the "Limousine Liberals". If they believe these things so much, why don't they give all their money away? Why don't they just watch out for themselves? (which is what he was doing). My reply was, because they now have the money and power to change things, so they should use it for that, not just give it away, but use their influence, use their power, use the fame they have gathered to try to make a positive change.
Tyler Perry has done that.
"Since you all have put me in the position to be able to do something I feel like by me doing this we are all doing it together."
Damn right.
