      Maybe he should run for office a high office in our country!
      And run on a country for equal rights for ALL!
      I’m 66 years old still young at heart but have seen a lot. For birth until nine years old I was raised by black woman she did not raise us as babies she raised us to be sweet little girls to know our manners to learn her ABCs, and 123 there was four of us at the end of the day she went home to 13 of her own children. When I was four years old, we moved from Washington DC to Springfield Virginia. We loved her so much us girls did not want to move so my father paid her for her time and paid for her fair to get there and then her husband picked her up at night or my dad wrote her home, but that was a long haul, but the heart was there. The nurturing was there she came to all of my sister’s weddings. unfortunately, she was in the hospital when I got married. Of course, I didn’t get married to us 31 you could not find more love and guidance woo she didn’t put up with anything, but she was gentle and firm. She spoke to you she did not yell that’s what he just did in that speech. He spoke to us in a way that we heard him loud and clear. God bless all and really God bless our country.

      He knew ahead of time he was getting the award, so he wrote a speech. These awards aren’t like musical categories where they open up an envelope.
