Peyton Hillis set to become first white RB in a generation to go for 1000 yards

I love the fact a white RB is having a great year like Hillis. I was discriminated against as a white player in my high school by my black head coach who literally would not let any white kids play on the team. The only reason he kept his job was due to our success under him but he was finally forced to "retire" because the year after I graduated the school was going to get sued for discrimination. I had to wait to play Division II college basketball in order to play and I was the starting point guard after earning it as a walk on. My coaches and teammates couldn't believe I had no high school experience because of how good I was.

So yeah, I definitely know what its like to be discriminated against as a white athlete. I think there is nothing wrong whatsoever to cheer for a player because he is the same race as you. Black people cheered for Warren Moon (and I did too) for breaking the black QB stereotype, I hope Hillis shatters the white RB myth.
