Here's a recent photo of my brother Brett posed next to my brother Jeff's race car and a familiar bumpersticker. Look closely at the car door.
It comes as no surprise to me that a male nanny is up for the childcare industry's biggest gong. Like Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow, Jemima Khan and Britney Spears, who all have given birth to boys and pretty quickly hired mannies, I've known that males make the best nannies for years.
I do not have solid proof, but I believe that the public school experience of my generation of black males in Jim Crow's South was far superior to that of most young African-American males in today's public schools anywhere in the nation.
Here's a real and researched statistic for you. Before college, I only had 1 Black male teacher. I also believe I had 1-2 male Latino (sorry for redundancy, it's necessary) teachers in my lifetime before college as well. His name was Mr. Wingate and he taught me Computer Applications. In 12th grade. 
This question is in response to the July 4th Washington Post article concerning the relative absence of Black male teachers in our classrooms--only representing 2% in the nation, 8.3% in the District of Columbia, 4.3% in Maryland and 2.6% in Virginia. 
What's this?
