What makes Herschel a great American? Is it because he hasn't seen a white ass he won't kiss, is it because he is a bootlicking buffoon? Is it because he could run with a football? Jim Brown is a great American, Muhammad Ali was a great American, Jackie Robinson was a great American, Kareem Abdul Jabbar is a great American.You're the one who is ignorant. You're a racist. Hershel Walker is a great American.
