I have never fit the narrative. Was simply taught to get as much information as possible and then take action on finding solutions. To be clear, slavery is horrific no matter where it is,has been or who is enslaved. In this country we have one of the shorter histories of slavery on record. The topic of racism is different and that covers all races. We were told growing up that there was nothing in our way except us. As a little guy of 5 or so my father brought me to fisherman's wharf and introduced me to all these fishing captains, resturant owners and asked them if i could get a job there when i was old enough. they all said yes. So at 10 years of age i began cleaning boats, loading bait, stocking produce, unloading the catch. They all encouraged to study hard and go to college. I did that until i was 16 and then took a job caddying at a private club on the peninsula. All these people were different colors, mostly mixed among black,italian, philipino, Irish and not a one of us ever thought that work and education would not be our ticket. There were some that had it really tough but they had mentors and they made it out of their plight. There will be many who never get the chance but if we have families that stick together,get educated, provide mentoring we will continue to make progress. Those instances where someone is treated poorly for the color of their skin or any race need to be heard and they need to help themselves. Racism goes both ways, it is like a disease, it knows no bounds.
I have no clue what happened between Chambers and his player. No doubt the player felt mistreated. What i do know is that Chambers players have stood by him.
