FROM THE "WHAT HAVE I BEEN TELLING YOU ALL ALONG" FILE
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
and treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
to serve your turn long after they are gone,
and so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you . . .
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it . . .
--Kipling

From Dave, a self-described "one of many not-so-angry, compassionate conservative white guy listeners."
"Greetings from a long-time (2 years at least) downloader of the ABW show"Common sense is so addictive! Your comments about overweight, dimple-derriered divas had me laughing so hard I almost drove off the road! But when you focused on the facts about childhood obesity it almost made me cry. It's so sad that the blessing of our nation's food bounty, where not even the poorest go hungry, has resulted in the poorest are at risk for ill health due to overeating. Adults have choices, but kids depend on parents guiding their choices. It's reassuring to hear true community leaders remind parents they have responsibilities. Keep up the good work! I'll keep listening. best, one of your many not-so-angry, compassionate conservative white guy listeners!
Excellent viewpoint and content from Michant2
"Your show is very enjoyable and the content is excellent. I enjoy your point of view on the many subjects that you cover and think that you always hit on things that people are thinking but are afraid to say. It's good to hear someone voice her opinion on relevant topics of today concerning not only black people or black women, but things that affect everyone."
Excellent job on the past 3 shows! from D.H.
"You were awesome as a guest on WWWT-FM. Good job on discussing a wide array of topics including politics, news, education, obese kids, terrible prom attire, etc. . . . I'm looking forward to winning more Sunny James converts . . ."
From Jamie Nero
"I have found your podcasts to be informative, educational and entertaining. In fact, I got a pair of dress shoes repaired after listening to one of your podcasts. Thanks!(I saved some money that day)."
Please, keep sending in those good words. I need your support. Sunny

Please pick up a copy of Juan Williams new book "Enough." And as a reminder from shows past, pick up a copy of Walter Mosley's "A Life Out of Context." Both great books to start thinking critically about the state of Black America.
I've noticed an increase in the number of downloads from HBCUs in the last several weeks. Thanks to all those great minds who find the time to listen. Now that you're back at school, homecoming is just around the corner. If there is an event that you'd like to give some attention drop me an email at theangryblackwoman@earthlink.net. (And here's a last minute shout out to the ABW fans down at Auburn--Go Tigers!)
My apologies, I mentioned during Show #20 that I'd would have information about, Hip-Hop: Beats and Rhymes, a documentary film scheduled to air on PBS stations after the first of the year. I will get that info to you with Show #22.
