EXHAUSTING for Jalen Rose to carry such blatant and seething racism around in his heart for any non-black person. Every documentary interview of his (which, I concede, is probably why they ask him, because they know they'll get their sound-byte), EVERYTHING comes back to why he thinks he's justified in hating someone because of the color of their skin.

The closest thing he could come up with to compliment him personally was that he couldn't hate the man too much because he could tell the man loved his black team mates. And he said it as if he was amazed that was possible for a white person to do. EVERYTHING is about race to this clown.

I sincerely HOPE that such a focused vitriol is more-or-less limited to a small portion of society - I certainly haven't seen it in any of my African American friends - and that it's a product of his specific upbringing and personal baggage, because I shudder to think that very many people walk around every day with the weight of THAT MUCH hatred in their hearts.
