Kevin Johnson, no not that guy down the street….

Kevin Johnson, KJ of the Phoenix Suns, left the NBA to get involved in his community and take over his old High School. He’s the principal and his goal to make EVERY child college ready. And he is making progress. Why don’t we know about this? How come I don’t know about this? This intelligent, Black athlete who is doing something extremely positive and I never heard about it. I’ve heard of the overpaid athlete who choked his coach. I’ve heard the cornrowed guy who threw his wife out of the house. We’ve all heard about the stories of the thug athletes who dominate professional American sports. Why don’t we here about the Kevin Johnsons?? I want to hear about these guys. I guess it’s not a sexy story. I guess it won’t sell newspapers. I guess the nightly news would rather lead with sex or gory violent crimes. When are Americans going to stop feeding off of negativity? Here in Louisville crime drives the nightly news. It’s the lead, the middle, and Kentucky basketball is the end. I want to hear some success stories, some uplifting stories, some encouraging stories. I guess people would rather be full of apprehension. Doesn’t make much sense does it.

Listening to EWF. Simply the best band of ALL TIME.
