No doubt you've tried valiantly to control this issue, but are your efforts working? The answer has to be no; otherwise you would have solved the problem long ago. What if your real trouble isn't the issue you brood about so compulsively, but the brooding itself?Tue, 15 Jan 2008 15:36:00 ESThttp://www.cnn.com/2007/US/02/02/bhm.profile.culture/index.htmlhttp://www.cnn.com/2007/US/02/02/bhm.profile.culture/index.htmlSome African Americans have had a profound impact on American society, changing many people's views on race, history and politics.
