In DJ's defense, imo, white people, with Black children, are more sensitive to PERCEIVED racism than black folks are themselves.
As a parent, you know the urge to protect your children is not like anything else on this earth.
I'm not justifying what he says, I'm not saying I agree with him. This is not an excuse.
But, it is one of the reasons 2 people can look at a situation and see 2 wildly different things.
Obviously, I'm not white * not even the bottom of my feet * and can't really know what it's like to walk in your shoes.
But, I do know DJ. He, Mick and LAD are the only 3 people I actually have a real world relationship with, outside of these sports forums.
Well, unless you count @Heatles84 . But, what we do might be better defined as a business transaction, or when I get carried away, as a crime....lol
That's fair. It's interesting that we are now at a point where often times white people "see" racism where even most black folks don't. I don't know if that's good or bad. lol
I just don't like seeing folks jump to the racism card before examining other factors. It helps to hide and/or minimize real racism, imo.
