Not surprised by the comments, either the ones about Vermeil or the racial ones. As someone else said, this is pretty much a common line of questioning. What I don't like is that it seems that the black athletes have the market cornered on their personal struggles. Apparently all white athletes had everything handed to them and never had to work hard, struggle, deal with hardships or anything. I wish LJ would have said something along the lines of "It's not so much that Herm is a black man, but that he has played the game and understands what it is like for a guy like me." But, he said what he said, and he meant it. I like the way LJ seems to be coming around, like the press conferance where he made fun of Herm. That seemed to me to be a bit of growth, that he could loosen up like that. But you can't expect that all the conditioned angst and victimhood will just go away once he has a coach he likes.

*edit* He IS a big fan of Che after all...

It's ingrained into our culture nowadays. No stopping it.
