TYLER Shares His thoughts on Days w/ my father..Do YOu know..

"Hey there, guys, DO YOU KNOW? I’m shooting I, ALEX CROSS. It’s a James Patterson book that we’re making into a movie. I can’t remember if I shared that with you or not. On to the reason I’m writing. A few days ago, I was in the car on my way to set when we stopped at a red light. I looked up from my script and saw a father walking across the street holding his son’s hand. The child couldn’t have been more then 2 or 3years old, this kid was giddy with joy. I watched this man and his son go into the park and start running and playing. The light changed and as we drove away, I turned around in the back seat to watch them until they were out of sight. My eyes filled with water, I thought to myself, this is really a strange reaction. I was thinking, why did I have such a strong emotional reaction to this father and son? It didn’t take long for me to realize that it was because I never had those kind of experiences, never knew that kind of unconditional joy, never knew what it felt like to be wanted and adored as a child."

Slideshow: The riots that rocked black America

Getty Images)As the world remains transfixed by the rioting in London, which, for many unfamiliar with the existing tensions there, came out of nowhere, riots are something the United States knows all too well. Prompted largely by racial inequality and poverty, when it comes to those involving African-Americans, it's doubtful that riots, even some of the most well-known, have produced tangible results. Although awareness of the problems may have been temporarily spotlighted, the lasting legacy of many has not been increased racial harmony or economic opportunity. The important lesson to glean, however, from the riots noted here , as well as the many others not mentioned, is that frustration lends itself to violence and, to prevent such outbursts, it is necessary to take a proactive stance against root causes such as poverty and racial inequality before the inevitable occurs."

How race has put Strauss-Kahn's accuser on trial

How race has put Strauss-Kahn's accuser on trial: "In my professional opinion as a former attorney who has had to evaluate evidence, the credibility of witnesses, and whether or not to settle a case or drop it, let me say that I find Ms. Diallo's rape allegations against Mr. Dominique Strauss-Kahn very credible and worthy of prosecution. The 800 lb elephant in the room, however, is the issue of her race and status and how that may impact the prosecution's decision to go forward or not. There is also the venue issue whether or not such a trail would take place in Manhattan or in the Bronx where she might find a more sympathetic jury. This is a classic, and tragic case where the victim (a woman of color and immigrant status) has already been deemed 'suspect' with regard to her allegations, and her past associations and veracity (truth-telling) as the star witness for the prosecution because of her low socio-economic status. It is a case of David versus Goliath: The alleged perpetrator is a world renowned financial leader, a potential candidate for the presidency of France, his wife is a wealthy socialite, and he has friends in high places who will do anything to see him exonerated of these damaging allegations. The victim on the other hand is an immigrant from Guinea (who ironically sought asylum here in the U.S. because she claimed to have been gang raped in Guinea), a domestic, who resides in the Bronx. The power imbalance here is enormous, but the facts deserve our attention and action. As far as I can tell the circumstantial evidence against Kahn is enormous. Diallo alleges he startled her naked upon entering his room to clean up, then assaulted her, and ultimately brutally forced her to perform oral sex on him."
