a bad thing. It's my strong belief that it is necessary in the ongoing process of mending race relations in this country. The more afraid blacks or whites are of saying things that are considered exclusively a part of the other's culture, the longer the divide remains. It's the problem with stereotypes.

Now if you truly feel like some people are "mocking" it then I kinda get what you're saying, but still, I think we all need to be less afraid of blending the cultures if we ever want to truly get to a point where race relations are completely cordial in America. And I think sports is a great platform for all that.

Anyway this is a huge tangent but I just needed to air that out.
