Having listened to the ladies on the basketball team, there were several who were insightful and articulate and one who spoke in Ebonics (unless she meant she was literally going to 'axe' Don Imus)
I did not hear the 2 white players speak. The coach was compelling.

No doubt their feelings were hurt. No one ever put that hurt in perspective and compared it to the hurt inflicted in Darfur. Too bad, with the national stage before them they could have focused our national attention to a larger agenda than just personal feelings.

These comments may be seen as racist by some. That is OK. I have learned that there is not one among us who is not racist - particularly the people who claim they are not racist. Thomas Farmer taught me that white people with good anti racist intentions STILL have taken advantage of the racist structures in which they live. For that reason they can not claim that they are not racists simply because they have participated in racist society.

The worst racism is the silent racism.
