Racism is in the NFL and everywhere else in America!

Dear friends,

Currently, there is a controversy going on in the NFL, regarding the suspension of Richie incognito, a guard for the Miami Dolphins, as he has been harassing a player named Jonathan Martin, in a number of ways, including making racial epithets towards the latter. Of course, this happens to African Americans every day, whether in school or at work...

Still, it reminds me of how insensitive so many European Americans are, regarding their racist behavior. Moreover, at least to me, it shows why the late, great Miles Davis made the comment here, some years back... “If somebody told me I had only one hour to live, I’d spend it choking a white man. I’d do it nice and slow.” [Miles Davis, Can’t Shake Boyhood Racial Abuse, Jet magazine March 25, 1985.] G. Djata Bumpus
