    • Maybe he was a union fan and didn't like league. I'm being fatuous though. That is a fat load of shite as far as I'm concerned. You'd think in this day and age we'd be beyond this. I mean Jesus this is the 21st century! Why are we allowing an anachronistic idea like racism to even be allowed to rear it's ugly ignorant head anymore? I can't believe that happened in Australia, sounds like the deep south. Hell as far as I'm concerned Grogan should have OWNED the bar.

    • What is the fear that people have of blacks, especially black men? It's sad to say, but I even see it in the eyes of some black women. Sometimes I feel like a criminal and the boogey man just by the reaction of others. Like I said, it's sad.

    • Oprah got snidely discouraged from entering a Paris store earlier this year. Can we please teach our children to stop racism. It works and racism doesn't have to be around forever...
