Mr. T. on how he chose his name: I think about my father being called "boy", my uncle being called "boy", my brother, coming back from Vietnam and being called "boy".
So I questioned myself:
"What does a black man have to do before he's given respect as a man?"
So when I was 18 years old, when I was old enough to fight and die for my country, old enough to drink, old enough to vote, I said I was old enough to be called a man.
I self-ordained myself Mr. T, so the first word out of everybody's mouth is "Mr.""

Unelected Prime Minister Billionaire Rishi Sunak whose wife was avoiding tax with her non dom status.....yeah sure "we" are going to get through it
How about the £21 billion in fraud while you were Chancellor? How about your hedge fund mates stopping being offshore to dodge tax?
With #DryJuly around the corner, you may also be thinking about giving up #alcohol.
If you wish to, but can't stop, speak to your GP or see @CleanSlateCl about getting some help.
Looking forward to discussing how Substance Use and Comorbidities relate, next week.
Focusing on how GPs (and others) can approach the assessment of management of these related issues.
With @drhesterwilson and @CleanSlateCl
Addiction doesn’t discriminate, people do. It’s easy to overlook an individual & forget the complex issues behind their drug use. Using words like “addict” & “junkie” causes harm. People-centred, medically accurate language reduces stereotyping & dispels stigma #wordsarepowerful
