126. It's not black and white.
You keep boiling it down to the very basic factors and refuse to look at them as entire people. The way you've presented it Randal is black, Rebecca is white, Randal won the tasks, Rebecca was 1-2, Rebecca broke her ankle, etc and that's it. The problem is you can't boil people down to just that, they are full people.

You won't accept anything I say because I'm talking about their leadership skills and you can't put a score on that. You only see a black man and a white woman. You're falling into the same trap ACTUAL racists fall into.

Race was not a factor here. Again, it was the black man who chose not to let a white woman have a job, not the other way around. Randal would have still gotten the glory and he would have been seen as a selfless winner. He would have still gotten to position he wanted and he would have still been the obvious winner. The only thing he wouldn't have gotten was the glory all to himself. He wanted the spotlight to only be on him and that is just plain selfish, I don't care how many race cards you try to play or how you try to spin it.

Randal doesn't get a free pass on being an ass hole and he isn't a victim. I don't care what his skin color is.
