100% True. The kids that I coached, pissed down their leg everytime we played a black kid. When I played basketball, until I was about 14, I was intimidated by black kids. I grew up thinking that they can jump higher and run faster then I can. It wasn't my parents, it was the media. On the same note, once I got older, I realzied they might be more athletic but they weren't tougher or smarter. I loved playing athletics against African Americans.
