Acting White: Cullen Jones Gets 4x100 Freestyle Gold

Cullen Jones helped the USA win a gold medal in the 4x100 Freestyle Relay. It's easy to be overshadowed by a guy like Michael Phelps who is so utterly dominant. However, Jones represents the spirit of most Olympic champions who make it (or not) to glory by mere fractions of seconds. What's important is how Jones puts it all in a perspective that matters to him. He says if one black kids decides to learn to swim because of him, then it was all worth it. He knows that his quest for excellence and gold is really about getting more kids to swim, thereby saving lives. He is definitely a hero in my book. Go Cullen!
