Why do we keep hearing about race in the United States, why do we keep hearing about the race card being played? We are all in this together, yet we are all to blame as well. We need to put this behind us, we need to stop self-segregating, we need to celebrate unique-ness. There should not be any more issues of Black Americans VS White Americans, it is time to get over these things and move the ball forward.

You know in sports it never mattered what color your skin was, only your ability. I really liked sports, not just because I was so good, but because the bull stopped when the gun fired, the bullhorn went off, whistle blew or the umpire said; "play ball" I am into best person wins. Best company, best team, strength, not weakness, "Live Strong!" We all get more for the individual and the whole when we reward those who push beyond. This allows the individual to find what they like and are best at, and go do it. Everyone wins. I like winning, as it is part of what makes America great. We are indeed a Nation of winners in this country.

Their laziness and thirst for personal wealth ahead of their own ethicalness has cost our entire country much pain, it is negative mark on our nation that did not need to be there. For a group of so-called educated men, they should have studied the Romans Civilization better? Their move to slavery is nothing to be proud of; it has plagued our nation of humble and noble beginnings. But alas we cannot change that, what is done is done. Yet the debate continues;

And in all its sound and fury rather than unite in a common cause we see division at every corner. Rather than working together we the blame game, the race card and quite frankly it is completely unbecoming of an American, whether they are White or Black, so please think on that.
