Once again, Hurley inserts foot into mouth: "If I was content with just getting to the NCAA Tournament and winning a game and getting sent home, I would have stayed where I was (at Rhode Island)." Has he ever heard of Tom Penders? Tom Garrick? Tyson Wheeler?
It’s not the racial slur that’s the most troublesome. It’s the silent acceptance by the other announcer. It’s far too many white people who are willingly complicit because they are unwilling to risk confrontation, being ostracized or their social position.

You know why Black women believe Meghan? Because we know exactly what micro aggressions look like. And how they slowly drive you insane. #OprahMeghanHarry
“I want you to use my words against me. If there’s a Republican president in 2016 and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first term, you can say Lindsey Graham said let’s let the next president, whoever it might be, make that nomination."
Just so we're clear, white people, firing Aunt Jemima & giving us Juneteenth off are not the frontlines of defeating white supremacy & dismantling structural & instutional racism. Better schools, a just criminal justice system, access to healthcare was more what we were thinking.
QOTD...how many people learned in school what Juneteenth is? How many people still don’t know what Juneteenth is?
No shame for those who don’t know but you have a little over a week to prepare.
For the record, I never learned what it was in school...my parents taught me.
