Some individuals decided to be arseholes and harass people who are walking and get in fights on the court. It's too bad if a lot of them are black.
Even if they have encountered racism in their life time, it does not give them a free pass to harass.
Liberal, there's one thing missing from this conversation. PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.
I hate the hell out of racism and judging people by their skin.
However, people who commit acts of disturbance ARE NOT VICTIMS.
Where is the sense of personal responsibility?
Obviously it was not on the basketball court, or else it could be left unsupervised as it had been for the decades in which I grew up. I even played there a few times myself...
That's not racism...it's concern for public safety.
Now I'll go back and read the rest of your post and see if I left anything unaddressed.
Thanks for keeping the dialogue respectful...but please out of personal concern..please watch wording such as 'racist town.' Give the good Granite Citians the benefit of the doubt.
