A black man is in the white house. Can we get past the myths?

Name me 1 black swimmer that has endorsements. Ha, my point is proven.

Name me one white defensive back in the NFL

I'm still thinking.

That's easy. Charles Woodson. He just looks black b/c he gets burned so often.

Adam Archuleta plays some safety, Jim Leonard start's for the Ravens, Tim Zbikowsky from Notre Dame has had playing time in all games for the Raven's. If you need more just ask.

Name me one white defensive back in the NFL - endorsements or not. Tiger Woods probably has the largest endorsement contracts in the solar system. Michael Jordon and Magic Johnson have done quite well for themselves, too. And even though blacks make up 12% of the population they're in far, far more than 12% of the commercials. It's all about talent and personality. Build a better mouse trap....

How about looking at who's the spokesmen for Verizon. Allstate. Avaya.

I didn't even know this myth persisted. I guess ignorance is a ready debate tool these days.

Isn't the spokesman for Verizon the nerdy dude with all the people behind him?

John Lynch as far as recent players (but apparently retired).

Don't forget everybody's favorite, Jason Seahorn!

No matter...its BS anyway. This study is mostly just L@O scare tactics. Global warming has more evidence than this one study. The assault upon this wonderful plant will never stop. It's really sad.

Most things in excess aren't good for you. Those things are also legal.

+1.....It's all arbitrary based upon "someones" desire to control another persons behavior that "they" deem is dangerous. What they fail to understand is that something they consider perfectly safe in their life..also could be deemed dangerous by some other control freak. Once you cross the bridge of regulation...It gets burned behind you.
