Now admittedly Sanders isn't everyone's cup of tea, but not surprising in the least you don't like him. The irony is he's a man of God and preaches dedication, commitment and hard work. He's basically old school in his values. But because he's a confident black man who wears a gold cross that offends someone such as yourself.
I've gotten into discussions/arguments on the USC board with a couple of black posters who claim leading SEC schools would never hire Deion because they can't control him and basically share your attitude. I think they would hire him because he's a winner. But if there folks in power who share your (racial) attitudes then he won't.
