I'm not saying (in case you missed it) he's from trying to be from the ghetto; I'm saying he's invoking the race card, and embracing the whole thug-gangster-hip/hop persona to a degree that contributes to racist divisiveness.And THAT'S the part that dirk and PittGorilla and others are missing...this SHOULDN'T be about race, despite Carter's question. LJ chose to make it a racial issue--with several references.

What is divisive about what he said? He stated the truth and some of you old white farts don't like to hear it.
He didn't choose to make it a racial issue at all. Chris Carter asked the question about Herm being a black head coach. The first thing he said was because Herm played the game he understands and I think most would agree with that.
