To the white racists here. Read this. Look at this as an example of how you can rid the white community of racism.
Injustice, double standards and heartbreaking bigotry.’ Rex Chapman on race in America.
BY REX CHAPMAN
I had the same reaction to George Floyd’s murder as any decent human being would. I was sick, I was sad, and I was angry as hell. Days later, none of those feelings have gone away. And if you’re black, I have to believe they never do. I feel nearly broken. Racism is a developmental deficiency.
I have so many black friends and have from a very young age. I’m fortunate. But I’m sad for my lifelong friends, teammates, their children, and their families. I’m also sad for our country — and I’m motivated.
When you demean and denigrate NFL players for peacefully protesting systemic racism and police brutality on the same day you praise NASCAR fans over the anthem — you know what you’re doing. This has been happening for generations and acutely so for the past 3+ years. And here we are. You can’t stir up a storm and then be surprised when it rains.
