I read the ESPN article before I saw the rest of your comment, and got caught on the same thing... "you must not be paying attention." Unbelieveable.
How about this, PAT. I'm not racist. I'm the biggest basketball fan, read ESPN/CBS more than my Bible (unfortunately), and I didn't even think about how they're both white until YOU brought it up.
I do believe there is strong racism in this country, but I also believe the more we make EVERYTHING about race, the more we "flaunt" it, the longer its going to stay around.
I think a better social commentary would have been 3 years from now, someone looks back and sees that the two player of the year candidates were white and says "Isn't it great that the fact they were both white was NEVER AN ISSUE". Thanks for ruining it, PAT.
exactly.
you finished my post for me. go figure.
8 days.
"8 days" - and I will be on spring break to enjoy it. Sorry to rub it in.
By the way, Stacy will be in Boston Wednesday and Thursday for buisness meetings, although she won't have any free time.
I have to admit I only skimmed the espn article. But I did find this paragraph intriguing:
"This occurs at a time when today's college kids seem encouragingly unburdened by The Race Thing. There appears to be less obsessing over race, less distrust between races in today's youth, more melding of black and white music and dress and vernacular. That's societal progress. "
This is such BS. This is what people wish was going on. We are still hung up on race, still hung up on clothes, music and vernacular.
bg- i don't know. i think he has a slight point about the kids today in that they do embrace a cross-racial viewpoint moreso than, say, 30 years ago. BUT it is still a gross generalization and not a fact by any means. and i am in no way defending him.
allow me to re-finish this part of that paragraph for mr. forde:
There appears to be less obsessing over race....EXCEPT for this article.
bri- tell stacy to have a good time and if she has even a little free time to call me. i need to go into the city at some point anyway. oh, and we will be in vegas, so enjoy your little spring break. ha.
An article obsessing about college students not obsessing about 'The Race Thing'...puh=leeze...Oh, nevermind, my comments have already been stated :)
I saw an advertisement for the NAACP image awards. Are you kidding me?!?! Imagine if we tried to have the Anglo Saxon image awards. Who's racist?
