Racism 101: Criminal Charges Considered After College Basketball Brawl in Cincinnati

Let’s start with the obvious fact that hockey brawls...don’t end with participants behind bars. There is a different reaction by the press, by a school’s administration and clearly by law enforcement when it’s young black men throwing the punches. This is a racist double standard that has the potential now to ruin the lives of the young men involved...Somewhere a toothless French Canadian on skates is breathing a sigh of relief he doesn’t play hoops in the city of Cincinnati.
