If you didn't grow up "amid racial tensions," then I don't know why you think you have anything to say in this discussion. Especially when you speak with such bitterness.
Are you really writing from Germany? If so, the idea that a guy in Germany wakes up every day quaking with rage because an American sport might name its most valuable player award after a black guy that everyone agrees was a really good player is just a teeny bit...strange.
It would be like me complaining bitterly day after day after day about what the English Premiere League calls its MVP award.
To many of us who did grow up "amid racial tensions," your agenda is obvious. We've heard it all our lives.
