I stand corrected. If the question is important to him then my opinion why he asked doesn't matter.tonyzackery said:Obviously, the Op's question was significant to HIM - if it isn't to YOU, so be it. Your assumption (and you know what assumptions do for YOU) that he's making an excuse for not making pro because he's "colored" is ignorant. And your inference as such led to my comment...Clear things up for you, oh confused one??
But really, let's think why else would he ask something like that if he wasn't searching for an excuse? Does your race really have anything to do with turning pro? I'm saying if you want to turn pro this should not even be a question. Your first and most obvious question should be "what does it take to become pro?". You think someone like Rahsaan Bahati as a junior told himself: "Gee, there aren't any black pros. I guess that I means I should quit because I'll never make it"?
