A Survivor's Tale

I post this blog, rather video in response to NJQT's blog, Thug culture "ideals" destroy black culture.

As I made my last comment on her blog, I was watching CBS Sunday Morning and the story of a young black man with one leg who is a championship skier moved me and also makes my arguement that you CAN overcome the ghetto and it has a lot to do with our parents...

A Survivor's Tale

Ralph Green lost his leg as the victim of a random drive-by shooting in Brooklyn. But his disability has not stopped him from reaching new heights as a competitive skier. Serena Altschul reports.

AWESOME!

You are correct a lot of people do rise above their circumstances of birth and horrible accidents like his.

I am always encouraged and my heart feels a little bit lighter when I hear stories like this.
