Race is the story. Imagine if the players had been of the opposite race. How would you have felt about that?
I'd want to know the story first...who, what, why, when, where, how. Not everything is what it seems these days. And people sometimes start filming after certain things go down, giving a skewed perception---regardless of race. I'm too damn smart to be drawn or baited into somethig without getting at least a working knowledge of the events.
A professor once said to me, "People are stupid, but a person is smart".
