I’m not sure if it was mentioned in the race thread, but the crowd reaction for Malcolm’s podium should remind everyone things aren’t as bad as the news wants you to believe. It seems like every story tries to divide us nowadays but we had a French guy/Japanese kid/African-American racing in a predominantly white sport in UTAH and the crowd and industry couldn’t have been happier for each one of them. Next time you want to keep up with the “hillbilly Neanderthal” sport nonsense, remember SLC.
i never once thought of it that way, i just thought of them as racers just like the rest.

Again, happy to see that the crowd gave Malcolm some much deserved cheers but racism is not fake or "contrary to the news"
However, I’m not sure how members responding to you in a forum has anything to do with the media. You’re confusing personal opinions with media coverage.
We all look the same with a helmet on, because we are.
Malcolm has the influence to take it any direction he wants and, if Saturday was any indication, there will be deafening crowd roars for many years to come. I'd love to see him win it Saturday!
Yes, we are different...racially, politically, economically...but at the end of the day we all want the same thing...to be happy. Most all of us would stop to help a stranger in need. Most all of us are good people.
We aren't a broken and divided country...the media just plays that up for ratings, and the government capitalizes on it for more power. It's a shame that so many american's base their view of society on what they see on the news and who they are arguing with on social media rather than their real life interactions.
I was at the race on saturday...the crowd (myself included) was happy for all those guys.
He used to tell us players (which I've used with my own teams I've coached), "Shoot for the moon...and if you miss, you'll be among the stars."
He also introduced us to music. The first time I heard The Gap Band "You Dropped A Bomb On Me" was in a car full of teammates heading to our 2nd game while we were down at an Orange County tournament. His son was into Jimi Hendrix.
Oh yeah, almost forgot, he and his son were black. Thankful I grew up in a household / community where none of that shit mattered.

I'd love to see Malcolm line-up for the Nationals. He and that Yamaha would deliver.
