Tips for Helping my Friend
Hi guys, so not too long ago I led one of my good friends to Christ, woo hoo, and I'm helping him as he adjusts to being a Christian. We talked the other night about a few basics, nothing that would confuse him, and I told him to begin reading the Bible and come to me with any questions he has. I'm ...

Re: Making political statements in sports
Look, is an individual is being discriminated against because of race NOW, then yes something MUST be done, period. Case by case. If people want special privileges because of what happened to their grandfather or that a country was racist 50 years ago, I don't care. I can tell you some horror stori...

Re: Making political statements in sports
Since you missed it the first time, in my post here , this is my suggestion, as an answer to your question. Athletes are public figures. News stations want people to watch. Sounds like a win-win: They could, but I doubt it would have the same effect. It would get covered for a few days before being...

Re: Making political statements in sports
Philip, The issue is institutional racism (IR) in America, currently. We'd all agree that there was institutional racism in America. Segregation/Jim Crow laws are an example of institutional racism. When people cry "Institutional Racism", I've yet to see anyone give any examples that exis...

Re: Making political statements in sports
As for institutional racism - SURE it exists! No question! And every society's minorities will experience it.
