He may or may not be correct about Edelman being under appreciated but the idea that it is due to “reverse racism” is just nutty. Racism? Maybe, maybe not. Reverse racism - there is no such thing. Racism is racism and it will do just fine in this case. If needed.
If white people are underappreciating white people it is a strange situation.
While you are both correct, Deion understands that the term "racism" has been bastardized to mean Whites against Blacks and reverse racism is a valid construct under the bastardized, and most common, meaning.
I respect him for coming out and saying it - it's another small step towards returning words to meaning what the dictionary originally defined them as.
