BLACK FOLKS SHOW UP IN SOME STRANGE PLACES: SUPERCROSS


There are few surprises these days when it comes to what lines of work "Colored Folk" turn up. Just think, we are just coming off the 60th anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking in to baseball.

Now we have Obama: presidential candidate, Tiger Woods: Masters Champ, Tony Dungee: Superbowl Winner, Condoleezza Rice:Presidential Girlfriend ... One could get quite jaded and take it as common place that Blacks are just everywhere.

And you know it's only a matter of time before the NHL Stanley Cup is flowing with Hennesy. But every once in a while you brothas' and sistas' come wit' it large, but in verrry strange places, case in point:

JAMES STEWART JR., 21, Black ...
and now double winner of
The AMA Supercross Series Title &
World Supercross Grand Prix Champion

He has won 12 of the last 15 events in the Mp'd Mobile AMA Series. Stewart earned $100,000 per championship title. Not Tigerwoods money but tops in his sport and we are verrrrry proud of this mean, lean motorcycle riding machine. And it's nice to see in this picture your DAD is your biggest supporter.
