Blond-headed little kid at my elementary school wore a Kansas City Chiefs jersey to school. Number 27, the number of Larry Johnson. An aide asked him if he was a fan of LJ.
"I'm gonna be LJ," he responded proudly and went on his way.
The aide laughed and turned to a teacher. "That's funny. You know what Larry Johnson is, don't you?"
Larry Johnson, in case you didn't know or are completely blind to foreshadowing, is African-American. The aide is a graduate of a major state university. Her degree is in, I shit you not, sociology.
I don't know whether to laugh, cry, or hit myself in the nuts with a ball-peen hammer.
