“One of the things that is wrong with our community is that we don’t aspire to be more. We don’t aspire to be doctors, lawyers, or architects. We don’t care to be business owners, civil rights leaders, bankers, or accountants. Our only desires are crack spot or jump shot and little else. There is more than one way to make it out of the hood.”
