Geesh. Does EVERYTHING have to be twisted into racism? I though this President made us a post-racial society...he said so!

Look at a Silverback Gorilla....a huge, muscular, feared beast who can't be taken down. It's a comparison any lineman would want, no matter his skin color.

I never once called Willliams this with any hint of racism or thought of his skin color on my mind. I think Thompson is buying into the Jackson/Sharpton "cry racism for 15 minutes of attention" tactic. I thought he was better than that.
