I'm a little late and all, but I watched a

clip of the Rutgers basketball team speak and a white teammember mentioned that the team was shocked by what they were called and I thought to myself, "why is the white teammember speaking about this very African American experience?"

It was particularly interesting because I had previously commented to someone that had the coach who so eloquently spoke about her and the team's hurt feelings been white, the situation would have carry an entire different tone.

And that's kind of what happened when I saw the white teammate talking about how hurt the team was.
