"I don't have a problem with the President attending the funeral, but I do have a question. Did anyone notice before the funeral that the announcer asked the crowd to bow their heads in a moment of silence for Coretta King and Rosa Park? I could understand Parks b/c she lived in Detroit but why King other than that she just died. Did anyone find this odd? Or am I just a racist. My first thought was didn't other people of note die between last year's bowl and this one."


Friend,
I recall the announcement before the super bowl. Mrs. King was mentioned, I thought, because she had just died. Rosa Parks, I guess, was mentioned because she lived in Detroit.

"Or am I just a racist."

Friend, whether you are racist or not is a question that only you and God can answer. However, I would guess that you are not since you felt the need to ask! Peace. Kate

I know I'm not a racist. It was sarcasm. I was just trying to see if anyone else had a thought about this. Friend, 1/2Cajun
