American Fool Series: "Black & White"

Recent events have highlighted, once again, the fragile
peace that exist between the races in America.

Despite all the new faces, the "melting pot" and whatever the government census
tells you...

Bottom line daddy, America has always been about "Black and White" and the
love/hate relationship between the two. The country was founded on this and it
will always be at the heart of the USA.

So without getting too political, here's the philosophy that always gets me through:

"Whether you like it, or whether you don't like it...Learn to love it!"
- "Nature Boy" Ric Flair, World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion :-)

Note: "American Fool" was not meant to be derogatory or inflammatory.
The title was simply inspired by the album "American Fool" by
John Cougar (Before he used his real name Mellencamp).
