The reader’s chance to interact with Delores Shante’
Dear Delores, I keep hearin’ about how St. Louis takes a backseat to Atlanta and the others when it comes to brothers and sisters. What’s your biggest beef with black St. Louis?
Six words: ‘Too many men on the downlow!’ Here’s Delores’ request of the day: Choose a team, then STAY with that team! I don’t care what team you choose, but stay on that team! I don’t see any Cardinals players playin’ for the Cardinals on Friday night, then playin’ for the Cubs on Saturday night, then goin’ back to playin’ for the Cardinals on Sunday afternoon.
Dear Delores, why not drop the stereotypical (and demeaning) slang talk and “just talk?”
Dear Professor, let me break it down to you. Delores is who Delores is. I’m not going to (or should I say “I ain’t gonna”) put on any kind of act for anyone. I speak my mind, and shame on you for tellin’ me in what manner I should speak it. Delores says “saurrry” for keepin’ it real. So go ahead with your bow-tie, high-water pants, white socks with dress shoes-wearin’ self, and take your 32 credit hours back to the university.
