		<description><![CDATA[When I was a young man growing up in 90s Bed-Stuy Brooklyn there were certain things that I eventually grew accustomed to. There was the sound of gunshots in the night. Long hot summers where anything was possible, and violence was inevitable. Conversations that began with &#8220;Yo, did you hear about&#8230;&#8221; And being searched by [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have several online buddies who are white and have adopted black children. I never think twice about that. Black children are overwhelmingly overrepresented in the child welfare system in general, and in foster care in particular, so I say give a kid in need a good family regardless of race. Children need parents who [...]]]></description>

Sometimes after reading a slave narrative or the life of Medgar Evers you just need something a lot less heavy. My son, a [...]]]></description>

I don&#8217;t mind people who say or do mean things for the sake of comedy and to make others laugh. Heck, I&#8217;m one of those people. But what I&#8217;ve had enough of are [...]]]></description>

The Post (and FOX Broadcasting) is part of News Corporation, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch. Clearly the cartoon is in bad taste, at the very least. Or is this simply the 1st [...]]]></description>

Yet the most accurate quote about change I can think of is probably the now cliche statement &#8220;a baby changes everything.&#8221; No, the wife is not preggers again (not that there would be anything wrong with that).
