Well then, consider yourself lucky that you can from a family with such
gumption, such ambition, such doggedness that they rose up from poverty
and made their way in the world.

But, I notice that you didn't go to Harvard or Yale or MIT, but only
URI. Does that mean that your ancestors were only partially ambitious --
more than the weak, lazy black people of the Philadelphia ghettoes, but
less than Bill Gate's family?
