Multicultural Initiatives: Racism Exists in ALL Sports

What's this blog about?

I teach several courses under the broad topic of "Multicultural Education," prioritizing social justice issues of access, power/privilege, & narrowing the academic achievement gap. I am a person of color and I almost always have a white co-teacher. We include topics, such as: racism, sexism, heterosexism, ableism, ethnocentrism, deculturalization, transforming curriculum, etc. This is a place where I post information that we teach; lesson plans for activities; and resources we use and/or which are shared with me by my adult students.

Racism Exists in ALL Sports

This sketch shows the hypocrisy in the Sterling/NBA controversy. Racism against Native Americans has been going on for years in Football.

This is an excellent interview that tells the REAL history of racism and why the owner of the NBA Clippers is a "man of his times." It also explains a lot of background about Donald Sterling http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/04/29/bomani-jones-donald-sterling_n_5233565.html?ncid=fcbklnkushpmg00000063
