chanterelle53,

"Some people would rather listen to this"

Looking at the counter not too many, but normally You-Tube numbers viewed dont match the quality of the video or subject

I did catch your slight, nice! And no I never cared who caught the ball either

Some people would rather listen to this than someone going on about something like, say the red sox. Check out the Hartford Courant Sports Writers

Do black women write about ANYTHING other than race?

I didn't know who she was, but I correctly guessed the subject 4 or 5 seconds into the video

I have no psychic abilities, but I've observed this trend toward one dimensional thought, I find it unhealthy and disturbing, theres more in the world than black or white, so lets move on
