Here's the thing I think you are missing.

When I read his post, I took it to mean that he had seen people comment on his ability (Star's) and they based their comments about Star on what they saw in his highlight videos.

I came to that conclusion because I've talked about recruits with TB3 for a long, long time and I understand where he's coming from on a lot of subjects due to conversations with him.

I think you jumped to the conclusion his comment had to do with Star being black. That was the jist of your post to him and he posted what you were insinuating he meant. That post by TB3 in response to your suspicions was playing into the stereotype b/c you brought the stereotype in the conversation.

Because I know him, I can understand where he was coming from in the first place. And there is where you missed the point.
