Now I'm even more confused.....
By "your people", do you mean that the black coach is saying that the black official is a bigot because he is selling out his people-i.e. his fellow African-Americans?
If so, please explain how this could
not be racial in nature?
If not, please enlighten me as to
why this isn't racial.
