Quote for the Day:

"There have been so many crazy incidences like that.

Industry people had a big party for us at a huge country mansion.

The only other black people at the party were the cook and the servers.

So the Pointer Sisters showed up, and the door people assumed we were servers too, and sent us to the back door. Our manager had a fit about that.

I guess with any job or career, a black person could be confronted with racism and prejudice. It's always shocking and disturbing. But what can we do?

I don't know if America will ever get it right before I'm gone.

Maybe in another lifetime, people will understand that we are all people, and we should love everybody.
