First of all allow me to apologize for having to introduce you to a “black first” on such a negative note. So who is Lewis Hamilton? In a nutshell he is the first black Formula 1 racer. But take a second to read more on his Wikipedia page.  Why is he now making headlines outside of the F1 circle?

“Lewis Hamilton has been subjected to racial abuse by spectators during a pre-season test in Spain.”

“Ronaldinho (F.C.Barcelona) is an idol in Spain. He is black like Hamilton. The difference is that Ronaldinho is a champion and a good person.”

In other words if you’re a champion and a good person they wont show you their racists ways? WTF am I missing here. I guess Eto’o is neither a champion nor a good person, and the same goes for Henry:
