I love America. I was born here. I was raised here. And after a few divorces and a subsequent battle with alcoholism, I will eventually die here. Pound for pound, America is the best country on Earth. But holding this coveted position comes with a great deal of responsibility, the most important of which is being contemptuous of all other countries.

IN "THE NEW BLACK AESTHETIC," published in Callaloo in 1989, Trey Ellis identifies a rupture between the black aesthetics of previous generations, and the "new" aesthetics of black artists who came of age in a post-integration era. These younger artists, unfettered by concerns over racial authenticity or, more pertinently, black cultural traditions, borrow as easily from white culture as from black, and are therefore what Ellis refers to as "cultural mulattoes.

Love is a funny thing. The intricacies are boundless. And the web it forms is sticky and miserable. It can make you feel as buoyant as a bouncing ball or as high as a kite. How do we handle this infinite world of love? How do we overcome the powerlessness that accompanies this feeling that the Holy Bible describes as "strong as death?" Well to be honest you don't.

Some may enter the work force full time (if they have not already done so) and choose not to attend college. Others, however, may hold on to their part time jobs and attend a college or university of their choice.
