This is stupid.
Air Force Acadmey Coach Fisher DeBerry, after losing a game, remarked that the other team had more black people, and that in general, blacks are faster runners than whites. He got attacked for these statements, which have been dubbed as "racist remarks," and he had to apologize!
The guy said the other team "had a lot more Afro-American players than we did and they ran a lot faster than we did. It just seems to me to be that way. Afro-American kids can run very well. That doesn't mean that Caucasian kids and other descents can't run, but it's very obvious to me that they run extremely well."
Hey, it's the truth! Obviously, you can't over-generalize, and statements won't be true in every situation, but, in general, these are true statements. Just look at the 100-meter dash in the Olympics. The top male times are always faster than the top female times, and the top finishers for either gender are almost always black.
That's just the way God made us. Males in top form are stronger and more athletic than females in top form, and it's the same for blacks to whites. There's nothing racist or sexist about it; that's just established fact.
By calling DeBerry a racist, the criticizers are actually admitting racism of their own. The only way someone could have a problem with that statement is if they inferred that there was some sort of shame in the fact that the fastest blacks are faster than the fastest whites. Now that's racist. But DeBerry's comments were not.
We have just discovered that it is now racist to compliment black people.

It's also racist to post only one number for the "number of the week." what about all the other poor numbers that weren't picked? how dare you make them feel less important.

Numbers aren't a race Eskimo. They can time races, and give them length and location and so on. But they're not races themselves. Sorry to invalidate your comment.
