I'm extremely dismayed whenever I read of people like this student. I'm white, but my sports hero growing up was Hank Aaron. I didn't wish that he was white or that I needed a white athlete for a role model. I imitated Aaron not some white baseball player. This student has had her mind severely twisted by the racialists in this country. As long as people of whatever ethnic origin think that they need a person of the same etnicity to be their mentors or idols, they will be lost.

Hank was someone to model yourself after both on and off the field
