My grandmother told me this 60 years ago.  “The cream is the essence and the best part of the milk and it always rises to the top.” She said, “You, my son, are the cream of humanity. All humanity started with your ancestors in Africa and don’t you ever forget it. You are neither a “nigger” nor a “Negro”; you are a Race Man and descendant of Kings and Queens. You are royalty and the cream of this planet and just like that cream rose to the top of that milk bottle, you will one day rise back to the top of civilization, because the cream shall always rise.”
