Quote of the Day

“This walkout, it seems to me, is a message to people on the players’ side. The people who understand what Black Lives Matter means. The people who know that Black parents feel they must educate their sons about being wary of police. The people who understand what Clippers coach Doc Rivers meant Tuesday when he said Blacks love America and America doesn’t love them back.”

-Oklahoman columnist Berry Tramel writing about the NBA player walkouts in response to the Wisconsin police shooting of Jacob Blake [The Oklahoman]
