I’ve seen the human condition under the most trying of circumstances.
Hip-hop – it’s the safari: it allows people who aren’t under those circumstances to come closer to inner-city life, to explore it without actually being in danger. It’s something kids in middle America indulge in to be rebellious.

We do not have to accept our current circumstances. We will change them. We are Americans. That’s what we do.

Times change, circumstances change, and that’s the reality of playing in the NFL.

I wrote about real people and real circumstances and real neighborhoods. There was no crypt or castles or H.P. Lovecraft-type environments. They were just about normal people who had something bizarre happening to them in the neighborhood.

There are lots of reasons for that gap between men’s and women’s wages but to me, the big one is the work-family issue.
