Aw! Well, idn't that just sweet uh yuh!?
Mike's story was listed in the top 10 most read stories on NYtimes.com.
And I don't know how I feel about it. I am once moved by the story of rags to better life for a young, poor homeless teenager. It is 2006 and people still love the stories of how some benevolent white family saved some young black boy. The story makes him sound like a strong steed that needed to be tamed.
As my grandfather would say, "Ain't that mighty white of them?"
I'll let the commentary from y'all suffice for the rest of what I could say.

Double-check your link to Mike's story - it's self-referential.
