I remember several years ago when the starting quarterback at Grambling University was a white kid. Some of the Usual Suspects were freaking out about it. The black football players didn’t care...they said he was the best QB, and they followed him without reservation. I can’t remember if the legendary Eddie Robinson was still the coach or if Doug Williams had taken over at that point, but either way, *they* certainly didn’t care. And the team enjoyed some success.

As funny as this may sound, at some all black schools, the only white guys you'll find are on sports teams (usually the punter or place kicker on the football team, etc).

Thanks for the mention. I appreciate it.

I guess what I am addressing is how I see things in my daily life. I work with Blacks, Philipinos, Chinese, Russians, Armenians, Hispanics, Japanese... you name it. I honestly don’t think of them as anything other than a person. I never think of them in terms of what race they are, unless I’m trying to describe them to someone else, for identity purposes.

I don’t say to myself, that Black Robert, he sure is a great employee. I don’t say, that Armenian woman is sure a great worker. I say Robert and Maria are great workers.

Isn’t that what you do? Why is it that the media and minorities can’t deal with others in the same manner?
