Re: Kenny Vacarro: People say Andrew Luck has deceptive speed because he’s white

I can ramble off more and more statistics with the sources to back up my premise, but my point is using your own achievements as the bar for others is unrealistic and unempathetic. It's not an opinion, it's what the numbers and sociological studies say.
Which has what to do with the original post, ie Vacarro's comments?
Your stats/numbers/studies are meaningless to me without links or references, so I really can only rely on personal experiences, #shrug. For all I know, you could be Danno's alter ego ... you guys have had similar posting styles in the past,  . I'm not using my own achievements to gauge anything, just reflecting that while you try to paint the black community as impoverished and under privileged, I've seen it differently, and I am aware of the big picture as well, #shrug.
So I don't know what to tell ya', bro. You're an anonymous poster on a message board. You wanna' have a deep philosophical discussion on race and the state of black America, we're gonna' have to do it in person before I'm gonna' take you too serious, just sayin'.  .
