Running Blood Roots

More From Ryan Giggs

I received a most amusing postcard the other morning. unfortunately, it was not signed in a readable manner so i cannot answer it privately. but it comes from moblie, ala., and says: 'dear mrs. roosevelt: you have not answered my question, the amount of negro blood you have in your veins, if any.' i am afraid none of us know how much nor what kind of blood we have in our veins, since chemically it is all the same. and most of us cannot trace our ancestry more than a few generations.

Consider a tree for a moment. as beautiful as trees are to look at, we don't see what goes on underground - as they grow roots. trees must develop deep roots in order to grow strong and produce their beauty. but we don't see the roots. we just see and enjoy the beauty. in much the same way, what goes on inside of us is like the roots of a tree.

White people scare the crap out of me. i have never been attacked by a black person, never been evicted by a black person, never had my security deposit ripped off by a black landlord, never had a black landlord, never been pulled over by a black cop, never been sold a lemon by a black car salesman, never seen a black car salesman, never had a black person deny me a bank loan, never had a black person bury my movie, and i've never heard a black person say, 'we're going to eliminate ten thousand jobs here - have a nice day!'

When vladimir putin runs up against american power and american criticism and american leadership that reminds him of what russia isn`t, when he runs up against people who he worries are funding his dissidents or supporting protests against him, when he runs up against criticism of the way he runs his own country, what he`s running up against is the state department.

I felt like it was a courageous show [black-ish] from the beginning. we are a black family - we're not a family that happens to be black. but the show is not even about us being black. the show is about us being a family. that is groundbreaking - on tv, the black characters either happen to be black or they're the "black character," where everything they say is about being black. i think that's the genius.

Great winds and storms help fruit-bearing trees. so also do corruptions and temptations help the fruitfulness of grace and holiness. the storm loosens the earth round its roots so the tree is able to get its roots deeper into the earth, where it receives fresh supplies of nourishment. but only much later will it be seen to bring forth better fruit. so corruptions and temptations develop the roots of humility, self-abasement and mourning in a deeper search for that grace by which holiness grows strong. but only later will there be visible fruits of increased holiness.

My earliest memories of rap music was mixed with my earliest memories of reggae music. they were big sounds around the way, heavy bass lines, strong messages, definitely.

There is no incompatibility between moral clarity and intellectual firepower, between faith in god and humility -- in fact, they're mutually dependent, between a strong conviction that we must go to war and an abundant compassion for any that may die as a result, and between political conservatism and personal decency.
Strong War Humility
A wild longing for strong emotions and sensations seethes in me, a rage against this toneless, flat, normal and sterile life. i have a mad impulse to smash something, a warehouse perhaps, or a cathedral, or myself, to committ outrages.

Not two strong men the enormous weight could raise,- such men as live in these degenerate days.
