Damn shame Sammy. :-( Coming from African and White Anglo ancestry myself, I still can't get over the apparent fact that Sammy did this to himself. As much junk as I've talked on this board, in the end...it's just that - talk.
Sammy looked just fine the way he was - a cool suave multi-millionaire with what appeared to be few if any worries. Boy, were we all wrong. Your skin IS your skin, but in today's world and unfortunately so, it's also your identity.
Given Kareem's announcement this morning about his own Lukemia issue, if I were Sammy, I'd be looking out for the first signs of epidermal cancers because of the rapid change in pigmentation. I'm disappointed and pooped out too. All said. |
