I sided with Townsend, too. But then, she had to bring race into it, of course.

“I’m sorry to say, because sometimes, I feel like in society, especially people of color, we are expected to be silenced, or sometimes there are times where we have to decide and be very strategic as to when we speak up. In these types of moments, it’s important for me to speak up, not only for myself, but for my culture.”

I agree she should n9t have brought color into her statements. Blacks need to distance ethenselves from their culture. They can start by not always bringing it up. How often did tom brady bring up hes white and has to overcome so many blacks on the field? Or has to support his culture?

If your culture is anything but a crutch, why do t you move to someplace you dont need to use that crutch, where your culture is the same as everyone elses?

That’s not a bad reply if she took “uneducated” as a slur. Again there’s some word use confusion from what the Latvian meant and what was interpreted.

Interesting back history
