When your referenced Black coaches/teams/officials you always capitalized the word Black. However, when you refereced White coaches/team/officials the word White was lower case. Is this a bit Freudian? Is there a message there . Again, don't take this seriously. I am just poking!!!

That is done on purpose. "Black" is used to describe a race or ethnicity of people in Sociological terms. "White" is not. So when I say a white coach, it does not classify the same as used for races as Jewish or Anglo-saxon would. That is the reason for the capitalization of Black as compared to white.

Peace
