You were the one who mentioned his race, not me. Mutombo is exceptionally generous by any measure, not just compared to other black people.

I'm not naive. Bush highlighted him because of his race. I am not black. I'm white and I find that skin color highlighting is offensive. What needs to happen is making skin color irrelevant and I suppose that means starting somewhere as Bush did ... guess it's not so "offensive". Have to start with someone. I hope that as time goes by, race will not be an issue ... but I'm a dreamer ... .
