What exactly is he telling like it is by implying racism and white privilege are the reason Henderson seems more marketable and popular?

In the past 50 years, the most popular athletes in North America and arguably the world have been Muhammad Ali, Micheal Jordan and Tiger Woods (before his serial infidelity became known publicly).   The most popular women's athlete is probably Serena Williams.

None of these popular athletes is blond, blue eyed or white.

All are English speaking Americans who live and play in the US and are good at their sport, good for their sport, and active in charitable causes and fundraising.

The golfers US American cited are South Koreans and Japanese, most speak at best fractured English, identify with and spend their leisure time in their home countries and are as charismatic to an English speaking NA TV audience as Robert Stanfield on valium.

I'm getting sick of this Black Lives Matter, whites are evil, so are cops, so are conservatives crap.
