"If this were a black kid, this article would never have been written,..."

Of course not:

What would be remarkable about a black kid going to a black school???

How about a 4.0 graduating gradepoint, a working relationship with Goldmen Sachs, the trips to China and other points, the fact that the kid qualified as a ‘preidential scholar’ whatever that is?

There’s plenty in this article to herald other than race.

As a human interest story, it does have appeal. I’m just tired of reading about race race race.

If this kid committed a crime they wouldn’t list his race. If one of the blacks at the school had commited a crime, they wouldn’t have talked about race. None the less here, there, everywhere, it’s all about race.

Enough already.

John Morgan was a black man who was a great runner.

John Morgan was a great runner.

That last sentence tells me everything I need to know.
