Give it up for the African American's that have added so much to our culture. Sly and the Family Stone ! They even have a female Trumpet player, back in 1968. Black youth, know that you have such a rich history here in the USA. Keep it coming and understand your roots .........

Best breakdown for not stereotyping I've ever read or heard. (And cows were just about the perfect example for me, since I've always lived in cities. So, to me, all cows did seem quite similar.)

It was in a book written by Hayakawa. I don't like what I have read about the man or his politics since I took linguistic, but it was a good book.
