I hate work even when another person does it. I’ve felt this way since childhood. Today — it’s my task to find ways to relieve the incredible stress placed on college coaches. They often are forced to accept millions for just watching the efforts of unpaid athletes. Imagine the horror!

In North Carolina — there has been a controversy surrounding a Confederate Statue known as Silent Sam. This offensive pile of chiselled stone has been removed. Perhaps we should look elsewhere on campus for the last vestiges of the plantation system. Let’s consider the athletic department; where those who do all the work are forbidden any opportunity to be compensated.

The “N” word. Did that get your attention?

In my time – nobody talked about racism and slavery as me. That is, no white person. While I can never claim the experience that Booker T. Washington had as a former slave – I feel that my story has value. I grew up in slave country. My father owned and “borrowed” slaves from nearby farmers. Kindly listen as I relate the story about my dear Mother. She taught me that slavery was wrong and I never forgot that lesson.

Everyone who knows me – know that I would rather teach morals than to have them myself. If my listeners will listen carefully to 3 carefully selected stories – they have an opportunity to lead morally, correct lives. Kindly share what you have learned with your loved ones. Mark Twain
