It really hasn’t been good for coaches and young Black boys lately. If it isn’t the story of young Black boys raped at Penn State by coach Jerry Sandusky. It’s the no-so-highly publicized story of former Boston Red Sox clubhouse manager, Donald Fitzpatrick, and how he molested young Black boys. It seems like screwing Black boys has become [...]
This story isn’t that fresh and I think I may have put it on my mental back burner on purpose because things like this makes my blood boil. Ill behaving humans is nothing new when it comes to the treatment of the more delicate of our citizens, however, I’m not even sure what the basis [...]
