I have no hate in my heart. I don’t understand hate. When I say, “white people,” I’m speaking of the structure and the destruction inherent in whiteness. You may not have contributed to both, but you can’t help but contribute to one. Your being is a part of the structure. Change begins there.
Every journalist could have walked out of that room, in solidarity. They should know by now, that job doesn't care about you. Their employer will settle a suit they could win just to please that man and get other business through. Perhaps we're all little piggies, heading to slaughter.

Netflix will make a docuseries about every white true crime story out there, but nothing on Tamla Horsford, a lone Black woman, mother of 5, at a party with a large group of white women, that mysteriously died. I guess their target market wouldn't want to see that.

For @msmagazine.com, I wrote about the WNBA and the issue of pay equity. By the time the WNBA was only two seasons in (1999-2000) the average NBA salary was 58 times higher than the average WNBA salary. Twenty-six years later, the gap has jumped to 116 times higher.

I've said it and believe, sports will be the set it off that propels us to deal with the racial divide, as it always has. Some say, "These young kids just care about the money." If you believe that, you are like the white fans in the stands that just care about what they do on the court/field.
