Racist comments and sweeping generalisations about race aren't welcome on the RHP forums.

I'm willing to bet those who stated how disturbed and offended they were in this thread were being disingenuous.
I understand sports in not exactly the best place for social commentary but give the guy (uzless) a break. He doesn't have a racist bone in his body.

Is this racism? Is this a sweeping generalization?
"The America of today is not the America of yesteryear. And I don't think it behooves us well to keep talking about the past," Brazier said.
Senator Obama followed, calling for healing in African-American families.
"There's a reason why our families are in disrepair," Obama said. "And some of it has to do with a tragic history, but we can't keep on using that as an excuse. Too many fathers are AWOL, missing from too many lives and too many homes. They've abandoned their responsibilities. They're acting like boys instead of men."
