I was hung up for quite awhile trying to write a witty post about racial injustice, but the post would have been much too long. Certainly racial injustice exists. I think it is only when we can look into a mirror, and at each other, and see only another American will we begin to make progress in defeating such injustice. When I look into a mirror I see...me. I don't see a German, Scottish, Irish, English American. I just see an American. I'm not going to lie and say I have no prejudice because I do...more now than when I was a kid. We all have prejudice. But I don't understand why this racial injustice occurs...and is getting worse. The older I get, I'm 73, the less I understand about the problems of this world. I am concerned.
Harrell's actions and words are an embarrassment, but so are the actions and words of a good portion of the sporting world. There is such a thing as free speech, but we all know it doesn't work both ways...nor any ways sometimes. Suspension...no. But if I was the NBA I would probably mention to all that this type of action is not the face the NBA wants to show the world. Ah well...go figure.
