What's this?

I like what you add to this board with

your experience in the athletic world, but reading comprehension on this is lacking.

I never said it didn't matter. I said it was very sad that it did. And it is. And I hope for a time that it doesn't - and I know from many years of personal experience that requires understanding from all.

My post above also never said I had a black "friend"/roommate. You made assumptions based on your view of me - from text based posts - you have no idea what race I am or my roommate was, and you might be surprised or you might not - point is in this context it shouldn't matter and you are making assumptions and judgments of my "understanding" based on an initial impression of some posts and your own bias of "people like that" when you have no idea who I am. Hmmm, what type person does that "sound" like (not that you are) - probably someone we both disagree with.

Let myself get dragged into this - I'm done - not the place for it. Have a great night Hokie, really do enjoy reading your posts.
