BLACK MAGIC!

At a time when the world is focused on Ferguson, Missouri and Michael Brown, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and Barack Obama, it is good to remember that there are some other black men who are outstanding role models.  The following story is about one of them, Houston Texan wide receiver Andre Johnson:

For the past eight years, Johnson has funded a shopping spree for at-risk children at the local Toys R Us store.  Since he wears number 80, he gives the kids 80 seconds to grab everything they can and put it in a shopping cart.  It appears as though the kids could give him a run for the money, because this year they managed to gather up over $16,000 worth of toys.  Johnson was glad to pay the bill.  His quote says it all:

“I’m in a blessed situation so I’m able to help other people.  That ‘s all that matters.”

I wish the main stream media would spend more time covering people like Andre Johnson and tell the Al Sharpton’s of this world to take a hike.
