He responded there needs to be some recreational actiivities for the youth, the other gentlemen said if some of that property over there where cars of just parked was available, there would be some place for the youth to play.

If I thought you would.

A young man seemingly upset was talking to his father about a possible lucrative deal that fell through. He told his dad about how his agent was meeting with some movie producers concerning his life's story. His agent was told that the story would be great but that there was one problem. The promoters seem to think that the part of his life should be played by a Caucasian actor. When asked on his behalf why should that be when the story was about his accomplishments. The agent was told Africian- Americians just aren't seen in that light. His father looked at him with this unsettling stare and he said dad what's the problem? He said , dad you don't think I would agree to that do you? His father replied; son if I thought you whould have even contemplated on that, I would have had your mother standing right next to me while you were being given a blood test.
