Jude Rosenstock said:Wow, do you realize how offensive many people might find this? This is an incredibly emotional speech that was written at a very sensitive time. A lot of people died prior to this speech and a lot of people have died since and all in relation to this speech. It's debatable which terms are acceptable to refer to African-Americans. As a rule, the one you used should be avoided along with anything else that begins with "N".

Like I said, I will respect you as I respect anybody else in person and here in this forum, but respect is a two way street. Instead of moaning and crying and pointing fingers at the UPA and all the ancient history, move forward and try to see what you can do to be part of the solution.

I think you should be hired to say the opening prayer at ALL pool tournaments from now on.
Hey man, your speech was great! I loved it! It was not offensive in any way either. I wish you had left it up there.
What you did was lighten the mood up around here.

Good night
