 I am the son of parents who went through the entire civil rights process and I've lived in the south so I've seen the things that they've gone through because of my parents and the way they were. I also saw how to work through that. My entire goal is to let my work, the content of my character speak for myself. That's the beauty of why I like sports so much. Your performance is what determines your ability to play. If you aren't good, you sit on the bench, if you are good, you do good and everybody has an equal opportunity to perform there because the rules are the same, the equipment is the same and it comes down to the content of the individual character, their preparation and their talent and the combination of the two. I see that the world is starting to grow in that direction. We are learning to value the individual's performance and we're learning to value a more diverse selection of where those people come from.
