Verbal Equivalence
It has been said that a picture is worth a thousand words, the problem is that just looking at the picture you never have any idea what the first 82 are going to say. In this case, one would predict tragedy.
The divorce was as ugly and nasty as it could have gotten. I thought it was all my fault. I wouldn't understand how traumatized I was by it until I was well into my twenties. My mother basically shut down for a couple of years. Isolating in her room with Valium and Lithium. We went on welfare and we kids became little adults, taking care of mom and keeping secrets from social workers, daddy and anyone else who could threaten our family.
But what you don't know about that little boy is that his name is Charles. RuPaul Andre Charles and he became a star. A big, international star. And now you know the rest of the story.
You've got to admit it, blackfolks are incredible.
