True juggling, but what if someone ran in the gym last night and stole your favorite whistle, would you tell everyone what he looked like? I accept that they're black, brown, tan, white, red and probably some colors I haven't seen, but to say you don't recognize someones skin color is just being intellectually dishonest.

My eight year old son plays with one of the neighbor kids his age. My son is white as a bed sheet and this kid is black. My son doesn't care what color he is, but he definitely knows he's black. He made the comment to me that when they went to the Houston Rockets game for a birthday party, he was the only white kid in the bunch. I told him, awesome. It was easy for the parents to find him. I was simply trying not to say something that would offend someone.
