Blog Entry: My Life Story

2005 September 17, 12:17 AM

When people ask for the story of my life, I often start with:

I was born the son of poor Black sharecroppers. My parents were poor people... and they didn't actually sharecrop with anyone-- they just threw some of their crop up in the air and said they were sharecropping with God. Poor, stupid people. And not terribly attractive. Poor, stupid, ugly people. And after spending all day in the fields... poor, stupid, ugly, smelly people....

I'm finding that people aren't asking about my life story as much anymore.
