When I was a kid, my Dad owned and operated 2 retail businesses. One a liquor store and the other a shop that sold ice cream, hamburgers, hot dogs, milk shakes, cigerrettes, cigars, magazines, candy, cookies, cakes, chips, sodas, etc. Of course I was not old enough to work in the liquor store. But I did work in his other store. My Dad paid me a lot more than he should have and I was worth. My Dad hired lots of teenagers to work in that store. Whenever I served a customer, I would always say "Thank you sir" or "Thank you Ma'am". I thanked ALL the customers with those words. One of the older White teenagers (about 6 years older than me), took me aside one day and said "Don't say "sir" or "ma'am" to Blacks. He probably did not say "Black". But I don't remember. I thought about what he said and realized that a Black person's money could help me buy a bike or whatever I wanted as much as a White person's money. So, I just ignored the suggestion and continued as is. I saved up my money and was able to buy me a sports car as my high school graduation present and drove that car during my days at Carolina and beyond.
Words.
That's good. But the measure of a man is whether he treats other people equally even when they do not offer the same value to him personally.
Absolutely. That being said, I was reacting to your comment that "racism is for fools". How foolish would I have been to only want and/or appreciate money coming from White customers? Well, my parents did not raise a "fool".
But yet people question his preeminence. He would have excelled in any era.We're talking about Jim Brown, it doesn't matter who he played against.
True that. Well let's keep on keeping on! Shalom, bro!
Rewriting history. It’s a thing now.
It’s not about making sense. It’s about reparations.
My friend, and you are my friend whether or not you like it or not! While I certainly appreciate quality performance, BUT many of these so called records are admittedly attributed to EXHIBITION GAMES. While I certainly respect and honor the accomplishment of these players who were NOT ALLOWED TO COMPLETE. Don't hand me ******** (the word used by YOUR FORMER DICTAtOR FPOTUS).
What is this guy’s deal? Is he picking a fight with everyone on the forum today? Trying to get banned or something?
