So many fans are just unaware of that history with Black Athletes, and many just don't care. And that's fine, but to me Jones is a unique talent with a style no one else has. I want to see him succeed and and infuriate his critics. I would root for him no matter what color he was, but I do admit to rooting just a bit harder because he shares that intimate history with so many Black Athletes that have come before him. |
There's only one person here throwing around "white" and "black" and it's "you". Why don't you think about that next time before you speak.
You know what bothers me a bit? When someone, not just "white people" or "black people" or "spanish people", bring up race when it's a non-issue, and cover it up with little sentences between the race related sentences like he or she is not really trying to pull the race card. Maybe I should make an issue out of the fact that you cheer harder for a specific race of people over any other race. Me? I cheer for personalities and who I enjoy as a fighter.
So please, don't throw out the race card. Save it. Just save it. Keep it to yourself, you're stirring the pot. This is your warning. We Are All One. The End.
