1. I like Smokey but either term is ok with me.

[Mike Nelson]

2. Also not Black...

...either... but I would be interested in the replies. I prefer Black to African-American. As a kid, I remember the "Black Pride" era.

3. The link took me to Phylicia Rashad

reciting a wonderful poem her mother wrote. Swell, but not Smokey. Tell me what Smokey had to say.

4. It looks like that is the clip after this one.

Try going back.

5. Bravo! I originated in African.

So did everyone. Some of us are Black, some of us not.
