Martin Luther King, Jr., looked to the day when people would be judged by their character rather than the color of their skin, and when we live in a color-blind society. Considering all the twittering by the white media over this Super Bowl, I guess we're not there yet.

Despite the poo-pooing by some of the racial achievement of Dungy and Smith, I think it's wonderful that two African-Americans have achieved this remarkable moment in time.

It should be shouted from the roof tops that in America, those whose descendent's who were once considered less that human have achieved the highest levels of their profession.

I embrace the achievement and it makes me even prouder of my country and even prouder of the Founders who created a system that could so swiftly adapt to rectify a social injustice.

Good day for the country IMHO.

The MSM isn't there yet -white or black - but Smith and Dungy ARE.

As they pointed out, it's all about their CHARACTER and INTEGRITY. Two things that have nothing at all to do with the color of their skin, and everything to do with the nature of their faith. They are "the real deal" - gentlemen whose actions are completely consistent with their stated beliefs.

They showed that you can succeed without compromising your beliefs or character. That you don't have to become a foul-mouthed lunatic to motivate people to give their best.

I was at the Post Office the other day to get some stamps. The guy in front of me asked for commemoratives, and the clerk mentioned the Ella Fitzgerald commemorative. I heard that, and I immediately asked for it. Imagine my disgust when I saw that although it had her picture and name on it, it wasn't a commemorative for her, it was actually a commemorative for the fact that she wasn't white!

"Black Heritage!" Thanks for including me OUT! . . . and thanks for denigrating her by suggesting that she only mattered because she was black! She mattered because she was uniquely talented at what she did - and talented in a unique way.
