This is such an important conversation on a pervasive problem within a sports community whose spectatorship and fandom are generally far removed from the larger public’s gaze.
@OuzoBayBalt your host knew that he was in the wrong. Rather than acknowledging it, apologizing and seeing an opportunity to confront his innate racism and contribute to meaningful change, he doubled down. Do not condone this. I look forward to hearing an official response.
As you listen to Trump dramatically and emotionally tell the sad story of a white soldier who was killed in Iraq, remember also how he smeared the Gold Star parents of a brown soldier who was killed in Iraq. #SOTU
Gorsuch and Kavanaugh at #SOTU is a visceral reminder that 1. that seat was stolen 2. GOP ignored millions of women's pain to put "their guy" on the Court and 3. they are the end game of a long quest by the radical right to use the Court to undercut women's and civil rights
In America, "we cherish religion," says the impeached president who tried to ban an entire religion of people (Muslims) with a bigoted travel ban.

The shooter at my high school was not an illegal immigrant, he was a 19 year old that was able to go out and LEGALLY buy a weapon of mass destruction.

Melania Trump giving racist Rush Limbaugh the Presidential Medal of Freedom during the same #SOTU speech where Trump tries to use black people as props for his political agenda is offensive.
The biggest lie of #SOTU: Trump pledges to protect patients with pre-existing conditions. (His lawyers are doing the opposite in court!)
The second-biggest lie followed next: he'll always protect Social Security. (He literally said he was open to cuts in Davos the other day.)
No matter how many black people Trump uses as props in his #SOTU address, it cannot erase his five-decade-long history of racism and three year record of racist policies in the White House.
These black folks allowing themselves to be exploited by this administration, that has consistently encouraged and coddled white nationalists, should be ashamed.

President Trump said in his #SOTU address that "the unemployment rate is the lowest in over half a century."
Note: The rate has continued to drop steadily (a trend that began under Obama), but the pace of job creation is also beginning to slow https://t.co/O6JXqCRI9J
🔥FACT CHECK:
On the "failed policies" of Obama:
*First 35 months Trump, eco added about 191,000 jobs per month. Last 35 months of Obama, approx 227,000 jobs each month.
That’s 36,000 fewer jobs each month under Trump*
