Carlos speaks out about Racism and Bengals

[McC]

Professional athletes and celebrities in general have developed quite a knack for doing the very least they can do.

They'll do tweets in all caps and stay home from work and then pat each other on the back for what a great thing they've done and the bucket heads on CNN and ESPN will speak in grand terms of how brave They are. There. That'll fix it. Simple minds with non-solutions and their public show of nothing actually ventured and absolutely nothing gained.

Where are all the changes in Minneapolis and Atlanta? Same place the Kenosha changes will be. Nowhere.

I'm starting to believe these tiny little empty protests are the enemy of change. There...we did this grand thing, now we can go on about our business because, don't forget, we have slogans on our shirts.

And I already know the looting and the burning and the murdering are enemies of change.

To the people in the streets--you want change? Stop behaving the way the racists have as the image of you in their heads. Because I'm drawing a blank on all the changes that have come about as a result of burning down Target stores.
