“We are where we were with the black folks after the Revolutionary War, we can’t send them back and the more we (anger them) the worse it will be in the future…. [...]

A pathetic 2%

Via Jason, the NY Times gets into the end of the year spirit by putting out their list of the “100 Notable Books of 2007″. Despite the fact that I consider myself an avid reader, I have embaressingly only read 2 books on the list:

RIP Sean Taylor
