Legacies
I am pleased to report that there's a kid over at Brown University, which seems to be the brownest in the Ivy League, by the name of Edward Brooke IV. I am sure I would like to meet him someday. Thinking back a day when I was speaking about the poverty of imagination in things racial, Edward probably understands this implicitly.
You see, Edward's father has breast cancer. He is also about older than 80. He is also black. He is also a New Englander, a Republican and, get this, a former Senator. Not state senator, but US Senator representing the state of Massachusetts. This configuration of imponderables is a reality unlikely to be expressed in any popular fictions. So let us offer a moment of silence on that.
