also not wanting to drag this little part of the forum into racist definition waters but I can see where you're coming from and disagree with you.
Which is why in my answer to mike I did say simply put, you can't overturn centuries of slavery and discrimination because some black guys made off colour (no pun intended) remarks about your height and colour in relation to your sporting prowess, as outside of that sports arena, they were still going to be given short shrift and you weren't. If they were in control of all of your avenues of expression and chances to progress both socially and career wise and gave you shit for your height and your skin tone then you're into racist territory. In my opinion.
