mayor commented on The very white poetry of 'Mad Men'

I don't watch Mad Men, and I don't watch The Wire. I don't watch The Cosby Show either. I think your essay says more about your television view of the world than anything else. But, there is that great strain of "it's someone else's fault' for just about everything you come across. You only get one life, and it's sad to see you so caught up in unhappiness. Study some history, and not just the parts about you and the black world. You may get a new appreciation for the amazing times you live in. Or , judging from this essay, you won't. Go back to your TV then.
