This Ain’t That: A Post 1st Rd Blurb

By Jori Denese Why Shedeur’s draft slide wasn’t about racism — and why accountability matters. I don’t think it was hate that made Shedeur fall — and it definitely wasn’t racism. We’ve got to stop tossing around the word “racism” in situations where it doesn’t apply. All that does is water down the impact of the real thing. As a young black woman, it gets annoying.
