Saw Wilkins play in college (he’s about the best thing ever with respect to UGa basketball). His Hawks could never get past the Celtics in the playoffs. Classy statement from him.
Dominique was good. Educated, respectful, a family guy...he eschewed the lifestyle many of his peers embrace.
Boston is a very racist city.
And yet they feel they have to lecture Southerners about their racism.
I used to love Wilkins, he was one of the best. This very poorly written article doesn’t say (maybe its an excerpt?) what state he was from; in general, it is badly constructed, lime it was penned by and for an 11 year old. So typical of the deck I see and read daily, editing is apparently a dead issue.
I’ve worked alongside Black professionals in major business organizations since 1970, in cities like Atlanta, Louisville, Miami, Washington D.C., and New York. In all that time, I never once heard a racist remark directed at a colleague—publicly or privately. In fact, people often went out of their way to ensure fairness and opportunity.
The constant talk of systemic racism doesn’t reflect what I’ve seen on the ground—it’s been weaponized by politicians to divide us and by race hustlers to generate donations.
Im from Boston… of youre on another team…. Black or white youre gonna get blasted
Another poor victim of racism. Where a black man, plays with majority black athletes, get paid millions of dollars to chase a ball. Poor thing.
Boston was put through very divisive forced busing years ago. Not sure what it would have been like without that fact.
Ridiculous notion given that mostly white fans pack NBA arenas and pay big bucks to watch mostly black players.
