Good afternoon. Forgive me from deviating a bit away from the world of sports today but I felt it necessary in life of a tweet posted by former Republican Presidential Candidate Herman Cain regarding a segment on my show -- ESPNs ESPN First Take -- last week on Jim Brown calling out Kobe Bryant. Herman Cain took to Twitter to applaud my courage for calling out the Black Community for ostracizing Black Conservative. Let me say four things about that tweet from Mr. Cain: 1.) I am not a Republican. 2.) I did not support his run for the Presidency. 3.) However, I respect the man, what hes accomplished and his rights to his beliefs.

Being a Black Man, noticing the trials and tribulations my community experiences as a whole, I not only firmly believe its absolutely ridiculous that Black Conservatives -- again, which I am NOT -- are ostracized.
