There’s been something in the air with professional sports and it seems to have coincided with the return of fans to arenas. NBA fans seem to have lost their damn mind. A New York Knicks fan spit at the Atlanta Hawks’ Trae Young. A few Utah Jazz fans earned themselves lifetime bans from the home arena after saying some
Great article!! I am a sports fan of basketball, baseball, and football... It has been my experience that fans act out when our political system fails black people. When politicians speak ill of certain nationalities, folks come out to justify their racism to degrade and abuse those people... The sad truth is; these cowards perpetuate their racist views in other forms as well... As a woman of color, I experienced what I thought was racist when I was younger performing for the University I was going to out of the Country... I became ill and instead of treating me where I was since they had excellent care... I was flown back to the United States for care... I never mentioned that one of the other students (white) came down with maladies and he was treated there in that country, while the rest of the group came back home... Systemic racism is alive and well around the world and we need to teach tolerance of other people to our children, so the world becomes a better place for all... “If we don’t change direction soon, we’ll end up where we’re going.” – Professor Irwin Corey (an American stand-up comic, film actor, and activist)... "Life is not always perfect, but always what you make it. So make it count, make it memorable, and never let anyone steal your happiness." - Dr. Michelle Levynn... We are one... Solidarity forever!!
this was a great article. something i think about but without the depth you offer. from obama to lebron, a lot of white americans are generally outraged when african americans demonstrate astounding achievement and enjoy the power that comes with their achievements. if you're higher, i'm lower, since i was always supposed to be highest. one of trump's biggest gifts to white supremacy was making it so ok to express this radically blind hater attitude out loud with pride.
