Think you're missing something on this one, bro. I'm fortunate enough to live a very privileged life compared to most people, and especially compared to other black people. Yes. We have made progress, but from my position of comfort, I've seen more than enough situations that can be explained only by racism.

In Bonaly's case, there was information that onlookers did not know. Without that knowledge, however, looking at a maneuver performed by one black girl that no other skater could complete successfully, looks like racism. Sports commentators at the time could easily have added context, but all that I recall being said is that the maneuver "was illegal." Context is everything.

You may not care what I think about you, but if you want to be taken seriously, then please don't quote anything that "apologist" Tim Scott has to say. He does not help your argument.
