Comment by Rob July 13, 2015 @ 7:53 amVery good. It also prompts me to recommend that you all take a look at John Waters’ commencement speech at RISD last month.

Comment by andy@cynic July 13, 2015 @ 6:36 amYes, that was brilliant too. Not quite as brilliant as this – in my opinion – but still ace.

Comment by Bazza July 13, 2015 @ 7:02 amThis is excellent Robert. Thank you.
Comment by Mary Bryant July 13, 2015 @ 7:09 amMaybe this will make people recognise the level of tolerance being shown by the African American community in light of some very provocative prejudice aimed towards them.
Comment by Lee Hill July 13, 2015 @ 7:32 amYep. That just about sums it up.
