A white woman called a Black child a nigger, raised $750k in a week, and was invited to speak at a “Freedom of Speech” rally called the 'Nigger March.' This is a reminder that racism and hatred are still very much alive and well in America.
If your girl looks better without you (as in before you, after you, or when she’s not around you) than it means you and you alone are the drain on her beauty and spirit.
The literacy crisis isn’t that people can’t read the words. It’s that they can’t understand the context, infer meaning, recognise nuance, identify contradictions, or draw logical conclusions from what they’ve read.

I'm glad Jordan Walker said this.
Growing up, I can't tell you how many times I heard:
"Baseball is boring."
"Go play football."
I was even called an "Oreo" because I chose baseball.
There was definitely pressure to play the sports everyone else was playing.
Baseball changed my life!
That's why seeing players like Jordan Walker embrace being role models matters. The more kids who see someone who looks like them thriving in baseball, the more they'll realize it's a path that's open to them too.
I hope more kids feel free to choose the game they love...not just the one everyone expects them to play.
