Minorities have never been given their rights. They have always had to wage a political and legal battle to win them.

I have two grandchildren.

Male privilege and entitlement are dying a very painful death; no one gives up power without a struggle.

As my father would have said, I went through the college of hard knocks.

There appears to be a disturbing trend in this nation to try to force single moms to choose between their children and their careers. If they take their careers seriously, they are labeled as bad mothers. If they spend time with their children, they are labeled as people who can't be serious about careers outside the home. This is a sexist double standard. No such guilt trip is imposed on men, who are generally not forced to choose between their children and their jobs.

Do not let adversity break you. Think of it as a learning experience that will make you stronger.
