Wrote something about the racial slurs hurled against Duke volleyball player Rachel Richardson at BYU, the times 5 decades ago when Black athletes first confronted racism at the school and paid a heavy price, and of course how the past is not always past.

Great article, but where's the proof?
What will you say when it's proven to be a hoax?

Good read. Coming from Wyoming, the trauma the Black 14 suffered from Coach Eaton & while built up a national school & sports empire in the west, based on a racist religious premise, has never resulted in closure. Really sad that WP are so terrified of others.

The Mormon theology is rooted in bigotry, their disdain is premised in a false doctrine 'that Black people are cursed' yet they were given the State of Utah through President Lincoln's executive order: the Homestead Act of 1862-White privilege.

Yep. They call it the "Mark of Cain" for anyone who isn't Caucasian.

Why does BYU continue in the NCAA and why do schools continue to play there? It’s unacceptable and an apology is insufficient. How many more decades are we to deal with this?
