It's sad that on the eve of the selection of the first African American presiding officer, that this has to happen.

This action took place on the eve of a vote that would make the first African-American presiding officer of Nassau County Legislature. When that came to the forefront, issues were raised. Roger was attacked as if he were a leper. Question is why? At some point it will be addressed.

Quite literally, we don't want our first African-American president and coach to be our last.

What struck me is when I found out there's a shortage for African-American blood types,
