Kola,

Famed, Pulitzer Prize winning movie critic Roger Ebert said in a review of "The Cotton Club" (Richard Gere, Gregory/Maurice Hines) that the movie skirted it's true message: That every Middle class White man wishes he were Black.

Because I was very young when I read that I remembered being astonished not only by the notion of that but that it was being admitted by a WHITE man.

But, considering that Ebert's married to a BLACK woman, perhaps it shouldn't be much a surprise that he'd concede that after all.
