When you see how many African Americans excel at sports, it's tough to consider how many people stubbornly persist on being racist. 

Do they not understand how incredibly difficult it is, and how smart you have to be, to play and be that good at football/basketball/hockey/baseball?

It doesn't make sense to me.

The lack of understanding is depressing to say the least. 

How can people still be racist after seeing so many African Americans on their favourite teams competing at such a high level and bringing home highly sought after championships?

Boggles the mind.
