I have a degree in mathematics and I have taught
math for nearly thirty years. I completely understand
ratio and portions. I am asking those in white America

As I embrace my day I come to
realize, each and every day gives
me the opportunity to be a better
me.
I no longer expect every moment to
be an award winner; but each day
can be a step toward my dreams.
Not everyone will see me as I see
myself; but their description will
not be the one that will determine
my future.

Living in a era where African American men are thought of as underachievers, lazy, and unemployable; I would have worked 30 years for Orange County Public Schools starting next year. Most of that time I also had a second job to keep myself busy and to make a difference in my community. I am saying all this because I want the world to know that I am a proud African American man that loves himself and the role he has played in the world.

Willie Lynch ain't got nothing on the crab mentality. Beverly Burgess, queen crab of the crabs in the bucket, has proven that the crab mentality is well and alive.
Definition: `Crabs in the bucket' is a way of thinking best described by:
"If I can't have it, neither can you."
"If I can't do it, neither can you"
"If I can't see the bigger picture, neither can you"
"If I can't be successful, neither can you"
"If I can't achieve more, neither can you"
