John Hope Bryant '5MK' Quote of the Day

"We (African-American youth) feel we can out dribble LeBron James on the basketcourse, or out rap Jay-Z in the studio, but we don't think we can out think, or out smart the business man in the board room. We have to change this. We must make smart sexy again."

Smart being sexy, now that's an idea. What about that fact that not everyone deserves a trophy at the end of co-ed soccer, or everyone receives a Walmart card for just showing up, a sense of entitlement and unrealistic views of themselves and society both positive and negative are crippling our children.
