Well, I wasn’t going to start posting till the playoffs started but this article by Korver really hit home with me. I have seen a lot of me in what Korver writes about his first thoughts about Thabo being arrested.
@Tak ... truer words weren’t spoken by Korver than shut up and listen!! Since Martin Luther King JR and probably before him they’ve shouted this message. The predominant thing we will here from some white people is that there isn’t a problem that racism lives because the black communities won’t let it go, so how refreshing it is to me to here one of my own in Korver, another white man telling us we need to shut up, move past our pride, and not only hear the message but do something about it. I’ve been guilty of the same thing Korver described in the first part of the article.
If we would all shut up and listen, maybe we wouldn’t be having this discussion.
