Slightly off topic but I don't have any hopes of this thread staying in the same hemisphere of "on topic" but if you're ever cursed enough to be traveling through the horrible State of Alabamy then try to check out the Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site. It's relatively small but very well done and absolutely worth the visit.

As a white guy born in 1945, here are my top three most important figures in the shaping of my views on race up to my mid-20s. This is a personal list for personal reasons. Your list will be different.

  1. Jackie Robinson
  2. Rosa Parks
  3. Martin Luther King Jr.

It's kind of pointless to discuss Black History using English. It should be discussed in African tongues using historical Black media. I'm sensitive to the misappropriation of historical Black culture.
 
This board focuses on race a ton, it’s what I’ve noticed the most. You can’t view a thread without seeing someone bring up skin color. If I wanted to hear how bad the white man is, then I’d go on Reddit or any big news media site. And no, this isn’t for the OP, but rather the others who decide to remind us each and everyday that whitey is bad. Some of you people will never let the race card go, it’s your go to. Let’s focus on football for once, eh?

Well, to be quite honest, white folk already own the NFL and Hispanics prefer baseball and the other football. 🤷🏿‍♂️


But i'm here to read this thread. Cannabis lit, now i'm ready.

Every single NFL owner is white. Every single NBA owner besides one is white. Are you accusing them of somehow being racist against their own race?

So, no actual response? Professional sports team owners are racist against their own race. That's what you're saying.

Would Uncle Phil Banks, Dr. Cliff Huxtable & Officer Carlton Winslow be an acceptable answer?
