Not long ago "coloreds" still had to sit at the back of the bus. Even a short time before that, they were forced to be named Toby.

Makes sense why white folks are hated and African Americans are allowed to play the race card.

Just seems like the writer was looking for a reason to play the race card and say white people can do whatever they want. He just had to make up the pretext of having an article about an athlete first.
