You are an inspiration to the young black men coming up to see that there are possibilities for their futures that don’t involve a ball or gang life. Thank you for showing that black men can have a hobby as well. 🫡

I like that side shot saying "Or maybe you haven't heard about a gentleman by the name of Richard J. Daley" ... and just wondering who's offscreen catching that insinuation.
