More From Cuba Gooding, Jr.

Cool is spent. cool is empty. cool is ex post facto. when advertisers and pundits hoard a word, you know it's time to retire from it. to move on. i want to suggest, therefore, that we begin to avoid cool now. cool is a trick to get you to buy garments made by sweatshop laborers in third world countries. cool is the triumph of the will. cool enables you to step over bodies. cool enables you to look the other way. cool makes you functional, eager for routine distraction, passive, doped, stupid.

White people scare the crap out of me. i have never been attacked by a black person, never been evicted by a black person, never had my security deposit ripped off by a black landlord, never had a black landlord, never been pulled over by a black cop, never been sold a lemon by a black car salesman, never seen a black car salesman, never had a black person deny me a bank loan, never had a black person bury my movie, and i've never heard a black person say, 'we're going to eliminate ten thousand jobs here - have a nice day!'

Yes, we could talk to you for days on end about all the bad first dates. those are stories. funny stories. awkward stories. stories we love to share, because by sharing them, we get something out of the hour or two we wasted on the wrong person. but that's all bad first dates are: short stories. good first dates are more than short stories. they are first chapters. on a good first date, everything is springtime. and when a good first date becomes a relationship, the springtime lingers. even after it's over, there can be springtime.

My real purpose in telling middle-school students stories was to practice telling stories. and i practiced on the greatest model of storytelling we've got, which is "the iliad" and "the odyssey." i told those stories many, many times. and the way i would justify it to the head teacher if he came in or to any parents who complained was, look, i'm telling these great stories because they're part of our cultural heritage. i did believe that.
Teacher Real Believe
I love everything black, because black is cool. when something crosses over, people are like, "oh, this is a crossover." first of all, there is no urban anymore. pop culture is black. white kids are dressing like black kids. it's all crossed the lines now. the way i understand it is, everything black is cool. when it crosses over to white, that means it's going from cool to uncool. that's what crossover is.

We didn't see any statistically significant relationship between our buzz and our short-term sales...is that the end of the story? i would say no. this is one study on a set of brands in a particular company within a certain segment of the consumer-packag ed-goods industry. it is by no means a generalized result that applies to all industries.
