neself, I know very little about Naomi Campbell besides the fact that she is a model. In fact, since religion has been mentioned :o), I confess that I thought that she was African American.

And meself, I was 'speaking' ideally when I shared the bedrock African American attitude/expectation that the community should support its members and that people from that community who have climbed the ladder of success should reach back and help other community members.

There's no doubt that sometimes-often?-people don't act according to their ideals.
