What took place in front of a nationally televised audience after the Kentucky/ Wisconsin NCAA final four game on Saturday night between them still has the nation talking this morning. Kentucky basketball player Andrew Harrison muffled “F** that n**” when receiving a question from the media regarding Wisconsin’s top player Frank Kaminsky. See the clip below.
Let’s take a page from Martin Luther King Jr.’s speech and disregard color and judge this basketball player, who has a four-year scholarship by a prominent learning institution, by the content of his character. If it helps, pretend he is white and then what would the media do? Where are you Al Sharpton? There is racism afoot. Where is the next Barack Obama press conference? Why is the White House silent on this nationally televised racist comment?
Just a few short weeks ago, The University of Oklahoma fraternity was closed after a video began circulating online that reportedly shows several young OU frat brothers chanting, “There will never be a n*** SAE.”
white sorority idiots say “N word” it’s lead story on news…when black player disrespect white…is it same lead story? http://t.co/Ege6plQKwI — Wayne Allyn Root (@WayneRoot) April 6, 2015
We are who we are when we think no one is listening or seeing! Wonder how strong the apology would be if he thought no one heard it or saw it! It sure runs both ways,
Did #AndrewHarrison apologize for the slur or the awful sportsmanship? Either this word is acceptable or it isn’t. No free pass! — Joseph C. Phillips (@josephcphillips) April 5, 2015
