I have an "All Black" rugby shirt that I bought when I worked in New
Zealand two years ago. I've worn it around Detroit, which probably has
the highest percentage of African American residents in the United
States. Once in a while, someone asks me what the words mean. I tell
them, and they say, "cool."
