I liked the article. They are Korver's thoughts on the issue which are different than mine but somewhat in line. I did like some of his takes.
I have to continue to educate myself on the history of racism in America.
I think this is a tremendous idea for all Americans.
.
I have to listen. I’ll say it again, because it’s that important. I have to listen.
Man would this be a better world if people just took the time to listen and contemplate what they are being told rather than just talking over others. Good stuff.
We all have to hold each other accountable.
Completely agree.
But as disgraceful as it is that we have to deal with racist hecklers in NBA arenas in 2019? The truth is, you could argue that that kind of racism is “easier” to deal with.
Because at least in those cases, the racism is loud and clear. There’s no ambiguity — not in the act itself, and thankfully not in the response: we throw the guy out of the building, and then we ban him for life.
But in many ways the more dangerous form of racism isn’t that loud and stupid kind. It isn’t the kind that announces itself when it walks into the arena. It’s the quiet and subtle kind. The kind that almost hides itself in plain view. It’s the person who does and says all the “right” things in public: They’re perfectly friendly when they meet a person of color. They’re very polite. But in private? Well….. they sort of wish that everyone would stop making everything “about race” all the time.
I liked this a lot and think it spot on.
So, again. Interesting article. Don't agree with some of Korver's thoughts and words but found some that rang out to me and am glad he wrote them.
