Many of us white people (esp.older folks like myself) need to look inside ourselves and acknowledge that we've had and maybe still do, have subconcious racism. For example years ago, if two guys were boxing on TV and one was white, the other black I always rooted for the white guy esp. if I knew little about either fighter. It wasn't until I was a bit older that I realized what I was doing. Things like that, IMO is what systemic racism is all about.
I appreciate Pete's talk and applaud him for his courage to speak out as I guarantee he'll be blasted, depreciated and ridiculed by critiques.
I also acknowledge and tip my hat to the support the Seahawks organization gives the players and coaches in making this stand. Sadly, it'll cost them some fans.
