of high school sports in the private school arena (as overheard at the State Championship by DH)
This is just a random sampling and it breaks my heart and makes me want to vomit.
And pisses me off beyond measure.
"All five of their starters are colored."
Yes they used the word colored. Who the hell uses that term now days?
"The whole damn school is white but those five"
Uh yeah let me hand you our student directory. We have students from South Korea to Guatemala.
"That's nothing but recruiting pure and simple. No way those kids are going to graduate"
Oh they will graduate all right. And they will go on to college and excel. Because they have the support of peers and parents and faculty that KNOW them by name.
I could get all angry and righteous and in your face about the absurdity of this crap
But I won't, because I know this school and these kids and these teachers and coaches.
Seeing in black and white is a burden of the lower animal kingdoms
Humans are gifted with the ability to see a much wider range of light (ie color) in the spectrum
And it's just a damn shame when humans don't use the gifts given to them.
