He taught me not to view others based on the color of their skin. No shit. Different times. I didn't see a black person for the first time till I was 5.
I was a pitcher in little league. All my buddies had their favorite pitchers. Mine was Bob Gibson. My buddies gave me all kinds of shit because he was black. I told them that I liked him not only because he was good, but the way he competed with passion. Why do I care that he was black?
