Rut, I, like many others, do not care what you think either. I'm personally just tired of you always spewing negativity about one subject or another and then using that "well you can't do that where I live" bogus line. It's basketball!
It you are so learned in African-American matters, you are a prime example of the fact that book sense does not equate to common sense. It is obvious to me that other members on this board with "life experience" have a better feel for the importance of certain racial than you do without thinking one technical foul in a basketball game is not going to change the world. Sure, it will not change the world, but it will address at least that one instance of what has ignorantly became common verbage. Surely, I hope that your father would feel similar.
I thank the man upstairs for the way I was raised. I know in my heart that I'm not a racist and you helped me prove it again to myself. I dislike ignorance no matter what color it comes in. I hope you don't answer me because I'm going to pray that I won't have anything else to say to you.
