Hmmmm. Does he feel guilty for not being black enuff? I mean he is 1/2 & 1/2.
Actually, that might be part of it. He didn't grow up with the "normal" black experience. No ghetto life for him. But most of his buddies are black and he likes (c)rap and other black music and hangs out with (c)rapsters.
And of course, as I previously mentioned, before all the facts are in he takes the side of the black person in any black-white confrontation. I doubt he ever said that some white kid that got shot and killed could have been his son.
