What an idiot. One of Pittsburgh's largest draft organizations is based in the Dominican Republic. Not to mentions some current famous players.

In the past I worked for a pool company during my summer months (to put myself through college). I spent an afternoon on this gentlemen's pool roof when the maid forgot to lock up some dobermans before my service call.



Got free tickets when he got home and helped me down.

Yes, I was going to mention Dominicans too. Of course many Dominicans are quite Hispanic looking, but I think most of them are what we call Black,

In fact, I remember the first time I ever saw, or I should say heard, Dominicans. I went home and asked my mother “who are those black people who speak Spanish?” and she said “Dominicans”.

They should be considered more “truly black” that our President.

I don't think he's counting Dominicans (or Cubans or Venezuelans or Panamanians) as African-American.

Blame Johnson or Nixon or whoever it was who came up with these racial categories.
