The point is and was not that Blacks should not admire, like or consider themselves fans of that insitution! It did seem that for a moment you were implying that I am not looking at the fact that we do live in a pluralist society and should be able to seamlessly navigate in it. I fully embrace this idea and yes over the years things have certainly changed but as you know somethings also remain the same. When I heard that jobless young Adult from the neighborhood utter the words "We Won/We Lost" I had to check myself and not immediately ask..."Who is We?" LOL! I immediately thought about the words in a speech that a well know iconic figure from the Sixties uttered about a Slave and his master. When the master got sick it was "Are We sick?" It just strikes me that the relationship of a large number of Black ppl to UA football is more than "like" but is truly "Love!" I once saw a lady with her 5-6 year old child decked out from head to his shoes in Crimson with the little "A" on it in the neighborhood in the middle of the week. That was Love! Also, on the back wall of a Barbershop where I go there are large poster photographs of ladies and men haircuts. One features a young guy with a low haircut and the Alabama "A" parted on the side of his head! LOL! These are just a couple examples of things that I randomly observed in 2021 that indicates to me that something isn't quite right when our people Love other groups or Institutions more than we Love our own.
