First, let me say that I respect your post!BUT......the above adds more and is for the A**hole who says/thinks, "thats all they can do".
Black people are into more than the entertainment/sports fields.This is just a short list, it does not include the all power player executive positions.
Needless to say, racism might as well kill itself, because society won't let it die!
Can't we all just dislike individuals not based on color, lol![]()
