I just don't understand why race is such a qualifier......

I heard the comments for the first time this morning (I had read them previously - but seeing the actual clip was "enlightening") and all I kept thinking was.....

Saying "I don't think he is such a great quarterback." would have been just as effective.
The fact that race was brought up does indeed show a biggoted attitude.

Now, his reasons MAY be valid, that the media wants a black quarterback to do well, but when you make a comment like that it really is nothing more than the pot calling the kettle...um....wow...that was a bad analogy....but you get the point.

I guess it just bothers me because if I don't like someone or think that have no talent it never even crosses my mind what race or sex or orientation they are. I'm actually stunned whenever it is brought up. Especially when I am told I can't dislike them because of it. Um...huh?
But then...it wasn't until highschool that I figured out that my being attracted to women actually bothered people.
Guess I grew up sheltered.
