As I watched the spectacle in Athens Greece unfold, I kept thinking there is something missing. Suddenly it dawned on me: All of the contestants from the United States were AMERICANS. And am I glad to miss all the hyphens. No Black Americans, no White Americans, Just Americans. . . . Praise God from whom all blessings flow.

Be Blessed

Sorry to burst your bubble Rev. Paris, but Fox News reported that one participant was the first White man to win one of the track meets. Also, another reporter from another source reported that the American basket ball team was booed by Americans. This reporter thought because the men were Black.
