There are maybe millions like him...
In some ways that's a distressing thought.
I really respect his courage and contribution. For a man of color to reach out and challenge the norm requires courage knowing the venom he will likely receive in the process. We are American and that is the 1st thing we should see because skin color is only relevant when we are talking about genetics and medical risk factors. The content of a person’s character is not a condition determined by skin color. If a fellow American’s right to be recognized as equally American were dimissed simply based upon skin color, it would be an UnAmerican standard to say the least. To do so is a rejection of the American Idea and Standards we have inherited.
