Stuart Scott

Stuart Scott was a legendary sports analyst who broke color barriers and brung an African-American flavor to the world and ESPN. Scott recently passed away after a several year battle with cancer. Scott revolutionized the art of being a reporter. He lead by example, making it be known that you didn't have to be a white man to be successful. He proved to many that black men aren't always who media and the TV portray them to be, we aren't all ignorant, rude, and uneducated. Most black men are very well educated but that side of the story never gets told for example the whole Richard Sherman incident when everyone claimed him to be a hood thug after his little rant even though Sherman graduated from Stanford and also was 2nd in his class academically while in high school. Stuart Scott made it possible to be yourself and not what the world sees you as.

Stuart Scott came up with his own catch-phrases like "booyah!" And "cooler than the other side of the pillow" Scott showed the world that black men have potential to be great. He helped tear down stereotypical barriers that said "black men are ignorant". Even though Stuart Scott was battling cancer he still visited people to lift their spirits up. He encouraged people to be a better them and to live life to the fullest and that they are not alone and to keep fighting. Thanks to brave human beings like Richard Sherman and Stuart Scott it is safe to say black people have intelligence and a certainty hustle about them to make something out of nothing just like so many African-American men and women have done so far for themselves and blacks amongst them.
