Tad,

        You may not beleive this but America is part of God's World.
Just because Mrs. Winfrey makes her money or Flavor Flav or Big Daddy
Cane; does mean that everyone else is O.K.. You know Mrs. Winfrey from a
T.V. show. But, I knew her cousin from Detriot James Henderson(Mo). The
fact is is that America as society did not hand Mrs. Winfrey her
opportunity. She struggled and when throught terrible times due to
rascism and bigotry to get into the hearts of Americans. Read her and
Her husbans book. Oh, yea yesterday I was named an official member of
the Vietnamese Student Organization this a great honor for me. For a
long time I have wish to give this student body not only my financial
support but my time also. I'm back now........Tad you may not realize
this and I'm a little ashamed to tell you his but don't be embarassed I
to be your friend. Since, you came out into the open. Wastington State
is a State University. Olde Andrew U. is not. A State University in
America(except Olde Miss; Olde Miss thinks) is bound by specific laws of
the that State designed (and emforced) to provide for the equal
enrollmentof all of its students(I'm giving the the benefit of the doubt
here). I came to learn. Howard University
does not have a big Asian emrollment because the majority of Asians are
dissauded at least I was because "it's a black Havard". Here at
Carnegie-Mellon
University the cost this Universtiy stops the Average blackboy on the
street from comes HERE. But, naturally it dosen't stop me. I teach/tutor
Calculus in Homewood; Algebra,trig, and Japanese in East Liberty; and
Fluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics II, Ceramics, and Japanese on campus to
minority Americans for free. So, I have, did and will continue to do
these and others thing which I don't have to defend. So, if I wanted to
attack you I would do it over some words on a computer. I am not
interested in attacking you. It was enough to see
that you perfer to assumed than to respect. Do you think you are so
fortunate to be the only human to exert their abilities to another human
who is less fortunate. When I to the hill and try to make Abdul
understand that the profits
from selling crack is less than the profits from getting a good
education in the long and short run. And, that when Abdul finally seems
to begin to understand the concepts of beginning Algebra. He gets taken
out by a Db.(driveby shooting)
And, I go and try to find some of the brothers in my neighorhood to see what up
they say I do know him. So, it his Mother, lil sister, me and now you.
You want to teach reading. Great. But, the problem is gets greater than
that. Now, lets look at it from a Japanese perspective. I know how white
Americans act when they go to a place like Nihon. Like the indivdiual
who wrote me about drinking in a bar. If the person don't want you in
their place of business bacause of your
human being than stay out or if you feel like  you"ve really been
volated go to the police. Unless you get drunk, arrogant and stupid. The
black brothers on this campus are together. At Howard University,
Morehouse, Tuskeegeee, and others are eveb more to together. Let me tell
to Tad, I a interest feeling to see a young Black Teen hear that I'm
Japanese and this is enough to stop him or her from throwing their life
away and think about working for Sony, Honda and yes even Samsung.
Especially, Akeem this young man is great! Two years ago he couldn't
divide decimals now at fifteen he has entered Univ. of Pitt. Says he
wants to be a doctor. Or, Tashika, say she wants to study Korean so she
can make the rap song for the unification of North and South in the
future(14 yrs. 0ld).  Or, Yuzong, wants to go to Taiwan and teach
english in grade school(15). Or, Thien van Nyugen, "the Vietnamese Kid"
wants to be a Chemical/ biological Engineer so that he can help the
Agent Orange problem in Vietnam.(13 yrs old)(Mother and Father and two
sisters had cancer due this). So, you see Tad, it's awkward of you to
assumed that I'am the son of some rich Japanese who
came to America to fuck around and spent money and shit.
