My fault for not elaborating for you. Was merely giving the basis for why Lonnie feels how he does and a shorthanded reasaon
But can you see why his feelings are rather hypocritical? Here he is, able to achieve the goal of playing in the NBA, with a salary most americans can only dream about...
Yet he doesn't feel the anniversary of the founding of the one nation that gave him those opportunities should be celebrated.

I definitely see it. How he views it is a bit "deeper" (lack of better terms) than what maybe the next guy would see it. It's like we know the history of the time and at that time it was different for my race. However, 300+ years later, we live in a different time frame. Its just like with anything, some people will see things as extremes whereas other of that same race or culture are more practical.
