Bigger than Oprah!

Greetings all:

Just writing to ease off of an earlier posting a bit. I was fairly tough on African American celebrities. What I will now say is that I do believe that we ALL, we ALL, we ALL are in a PROFOUND state of shock, grief, concern, despair and quite rage...and I do beleive it affects those engaging this in strange ways.

For some, we are silent and praying, for others---like myself---I keep busy trying to think and work and keep pace with the developments AND SO MANY OTHERS ARE DOING SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH to heal, aid, soothe and offer assistance to these Americans in crisis.

So what I want to say in advance of seeing Oprah's show today, I just want to say that I apologize is I expected too much from a woman who always does so much. Clearly, one of the blessings of this is that the crisis is resulting in EACH ONE OF US DOING SOMETHING and not relying on the wealthy or the powerful to take care of things.

Maybe Oprah just stood down, so the rest of us could stand up and act. And that we've done.

Talk to you soon!
