I remember something else related that also stunned me. I don't know if you remember actor Lou Gossett played Anwar Sadat. I clearly remember his wife on, I think it was 60Minutes, saying she was not pleased with the choice because Anwar was not Black. Ha! And I think the movie was banned in Egypt because an African-American actor was chosen. Excuse me lady, I thought at the time, your husband's mother was Sudanese and it seems Sadat spent most of his life in denial. How is denial even possible when you clearly have a mighty dose of sub sarahan in your blood?

It was just so disheartening. But later on, she praised Gossett. Nowhere on the internet could I find her statement of total dissatisfaction. I'll never forget it because she said it with the same disdain as her discussion about Israeli occupied Palestine.

But what an incredible Mom you have! What a wonderful opportunity for the young girl and that's some big plan you have for her! Well, I'm glad she's going to learn to shoot for the moon from you :thumbsup:
