    Good. Let's hear 'em. I want to know why America is great.

    I knew a guy in college that played the hypocrite card constantly. What that is most of the time, if you want the stone cold truth, is lazy intellect.

    Took seconds. Why are you struggling?
    Not familiar with some of these, but I'll look them up and reply. Others simply advanced black power. THAT'S IT. That's doesn't do a damn thing for you or me. You fail, at least in part, and I suspect you will wear the whole mess before we're done.

    Everyone knows you're brilliant. Quick too. But you didn't answer the question. What positive contribution did they make to American society? Hmm ...

    What the hell do I care about Rosa Parks, Frederick Douglas, Robert Johnson or Jimi Hendrix? Why are any of them worth a damn except as feel-good sound bytes on TV news on a slow news day, and as propaganda in elementary school? And Justice Thomas: Notable for NOT being an activist judge but for simply doing a Justice's job, old school. Wow.

    Your turn. Go. And try to answer the question.

    Ah, but I did--the accomplishments were in economics, law, liberty and music.
