"Old Man Can't is dead. I helped bury him."
So said Myers Anderson to his grandson, Clarence Thomas. That quote and other interesting stuff was shared by Supreme Court Justice Thomas in a recent 60 Minutes interview. Very interesting stuff indeed. He is a simultaneously polarizing and extremely intriguing character who begs for dissection and deeper analysis to truly unearth the intricacies, contradictions, and subtleties that make this place called America unique. His gramps' words take me back to some building block stuff I learned a scant 100+ miles north of Savannah. He has this new book, My Grandfather's Son, that is eerie because that is sometimes how I consider myself. I know it's a selfish thing to say in some respects, but justified for the most part. Such is life.
Am i the only person who is bewildered by the irony of the former Charles Street Jail being converted into a luxury hotel? The man interviewed in this article is someone I have met and have seen firsthand how the mistakes of the past should not be the only judgment of what the future holds. Some people really do turn their life around and truly make an positive impact.
this young cat i know did this short documentary and it's pretty dope. much respect. i love seeing heads put their creative energy on full blast. he's an ill lyricist, poet, and activist.
i love this video. and i love me some Styles P. some people will never understand that. some will.
