We Must Stop Letting Racist Ranters Off The Hook

June 12, 2014 | Posted by ABS Staff


What does society call a Black man who has no education, is in and out of jail, has several kids with different women, is unmarried and unemployed, and is freeloading off family and friends?
What does society call a Black man with a Ph.D., who always dresses in suits and uses proper English, has no criminal record, has no kids, attends church and gives to charity?
Society calls them both the same word.
Last month we have witnessed Donald Sterling, former owner of the NBA Los Angeles Clippers, lose his team after making racist comments. Mark Cuban, owner of the NBA Dallas Mavericks, defended Sterling, saying he is entitled to his private thoughts and should not lose his team because of what he thinks. More recently, videos have surfaced of pop singer Justin Bieber when he was a teenager, making racist comments and cracking racist jokes.
