Yep, GM, and we're poised to do the same in academia and the marketplace. I taught at an inner city school Friday where the kids, 1st through 8th graders, were the brightest kids I've come across in years, bar none.

I suppose Minnesota has a lot of migrants from all across the country, who are running from the problems of their birth cities -- those kids can be a handful. While these kids in Chicago have families who have been here for generations. It was refreshing to see grounded young Black kids.

That seems to be why the good ole boys have propped up this current administration. The hillbillies might be poor, but at least they've had a group they could look down on. Well, if we can get through this interregnum, we've got a great future ahead in our community. Of course there'll always be people who are poor, but collectively we can turn the corner, now. And they don't want that. So sad.

Bro, football is a great bell weather in my opinion.

Now, on Monday Night Football, tomorrow, I'm rooting for the white quarterback J.J. McCarthy. Go Vikings!

Meaning, half of the leagues starting quarterbacks this season will be black, first time in NFL history...

Not too long ago black folks were thought not to have the mental or intellectual faculties to be quarterback..

They said the same thing in the 40s that blacks weren't intelligent or disciplined enough to fly a plane. During world war II, black civil rights groups tried to get the U.S. military to add black pilots to its ranks.

I recall as a child reading a sports magazine that was debating if Lenny Wilkens, one of the all-time great point guards, had the mental ability to lead an NBA team. Let's Make America Great Again. LOL!!!!!!

Chicago vs Minnesota: what should we do about Les?

Les is supporting a white quarterback over a Black one..
Why? because the white QB is leading Minnesota..
Please note: the black QB is leading Chicago, a place Les says is one of his favorites places - may be even his home town..
The horror of it all

GO CALEB WILLIAMS, GO!
GO CHICAGO, GO!!!!

Chicago 10---Minnesota 6, at half time....Go Caleb, Go....n/t

Ha, ha, I’m just seeing this, guys. Yep, the Minnesota Vikings came back in fine fashion. My ole hometown Bears played well for most of the game, but couldn’t keep-up with the Vikings following half-time, as Minnesota figured out their schemes.

JJ McCarthy is a good quarterback, and so is Caleb Williams the former Heisman Trophy winner. The difference, in the game, was the coaches. Kevin O’Connell has mastered how to win the close ones. And his defensive coordinator, Brian Flores, knows how to turn up the heat when needed.
