Make it Rain: R. Kelly, Detroit Basketball and the Laws of Nature
Make it Rain: R. Kelly, Detroit Basketball and the Laws of Nature
. . . we don't see people as "roles," we see them as people, and when they are brought to trial for unspeakable acts, we read about it on the front page of the paper. And there's this whole other idea of disproportionate representation - that young people of color see grown-ups who look like them in these concentrated populations of extremes. You either go to jail, or become LeBron James . . .

    Ellen you did it again! Hopefully we'll get back to the inspirations of real models (parents have to do their jobs because this is the irrensponsibility of society term) instead of all the fairytale flash.
