It's Very Painful To Have Something That's

I Believe My Own Demons Would Have Caught Up With Me Regardless Of My Race And Regardless Of Whether I Worked At 'the Times.

Racism Built Me Into A Person That Was Set Up To Be Self-destructive.

Once I Had A Better Beat, I Needed To Have An Even Better One. And Somewhere In That Climbing, I Lost Sight Of, Sort Of, My Moral And Ethical Underpinnings.

It's Hard To Say What Role Race Really Played In My Case.

I Can't Say Anything Other Than The Fact That I Feel A Range Of Emotions Including Guilt, Shame, Sadness, Betrayal, Freedom And Appreciation For Those Who Have Stood By Me, Been Tough On Me, And Have Taken The Time To Understand That There Is A Deeper Story And Not To Believe Everything They Read In The Newspapers.
