.@DukeVB's Rachel Richardson responds to what happened in Friday night's game against BYU:
"It is not enough to indicate that you are not racist, instead you must demonstrate that you are anti-racist."
We stand with you, @rachrich03. 💙 #morethanavolleyballplayer#NCAAWVB
What is certain about this horrible story about Duke volleyball player Rachel Richardson is everyone failed. Duke did. BYU did. All the coaches. The ADs. All of them.
Only Richardson showed strength and courage and she shouldn’t have had to.
As we prepare to play @DukeVB this afternoon, we stand in full support of Rachel. We play for #3 today. There is no place for racism on or off the court.
My Grandma passed away today.
A while back, we drove past a mansion she used to clean in Naples, FL:
“I remember cleaning toilets for a doctor that lived there,” she said.
Then w/a smirk, she finished: “But my son’s a doctor now.”
Rest now Grandma, from your Dream Come True.
I have been trying to process this and not say anything until my anger and feelings were calmed down! People wonder why I fight so hard to spread diversity amongst the volleyball world and this is just one reason why! The video posted is disgusting!
