I will say this and leave it. A lot of people want to think you cannot have these kinds of events anymore or try to minimize them because the incidents did not take place in the 1960s. The reality is racism still exists and the person that told a room full of people about the Supreme Court was not a person of color and was the Chairperson of the NF Rules Committee. He said they had had problems in the past (no one even asked him about that topic BTW when he decided to report this information about his state).
It does not make you a racist because someone is not informed about current happenings that might not ever affect you personally. The reality is Kentucky like a lot of places across the country have problems dealing with race and it manifests itself in what we do when it comes to officiating. I may not agree with Old School very often, but he has a point to raise these issues. Considering I have had the very same conversation with fellow officials well off this board.
