Congratulations, Coach King!
It is a sad day to see a prestigious private school like Cornell University, founded in A.D. 1865, refer to a Moor, the true land lords, by the name of a crayon color black, which alludes to slavery. I know Cornell University, filled with scholars, knows better and is aware that black nor white are nationalities. It is time for the Union States to refer to the indigenous people of the land by their true identities before that great and lawful day is upon us all. Nationality is the order of the day. Truth be told.
