Around the Block

If you turn on CNN or any world news news channel, you'd think that there is no other news to report than the comments made by Senator Harry Reid or former baseball player, Mark McGwire.

I'll start first with Mark McGwire. I've believed for years that Mark has used steroids. Anyone care to remember the "Bash Brothers"? C'mon Son, you knew Mark was juicin' way back in the late-80's and into the '90s.

Senator Harry Reid said what he said, and while people will be upset and call for the man to be raked over a pit of hot coals, he said what many Americans have said, will say or thought. Race is always going to be relevant in this world.

Shoot, I know some Blacks (Yes, I do use the term Black in this day and age) who, if you asked them to honestly comment about President Barack Obama, would have some more poignant words to describe our 44th President.

So in 2010, we have to do better and know that our differences make the world better.
