my son is “half black” and he is conservative as they come. He’s also in the Air Force honor guard. He does NOT agree with Kapernick but instead follows Ben Shapiro.

It is obvious I missed, big time, in the point I was trying to make. I was trying to be facetious about how the writer seemed it was necessary to label Mahomes as “half black”. Pointing out the other “half black” in recent history was never labeled so and whereas Mahomes agreed that Zimmerman was not guilty the “black” president lauded Trayvon Martin.

I fell short and apologize.

It is obvious you are proud of your son as well you should be as a parent regardless of what “color” of skin he has.

One of my all time bugaboo’s has been in the way “we” identify people by their “color”.

There is one race - the human race - and we are all part of it.

It really bugs me that we have this “half black” and similar designations that are so frequently thrown out as something that matters or is relevant when someone accomplishes something. Bugs the crap out of me.

It’s demeaning to the accomplishments of the individual.

PS Good tag line
