Who is really perpetuating the issue of race here? Again, I'm sure he's experienced pretty much anywhere he's gone, but it's not an excuse to act like a dbag and apply the race card to everyone who dislikes you. When you act like a dbag, people hate you for that, not because of the color of your skin.

I think this could be a result of the racism he has experienced growing up, playing hockey and then in the NHL. Young guy with a chip on his shoulder and black. I will never know what it's like to be in that situation.
