Basketball

I briefly read about the racial slights that he and other Black NBA players had to endure (segregated hotels, taxis, ect). As a Black person who never experienced that crass level of discrimination, what Baylor and other pioneering Black people in every profession had to overcome is enraging, imagine where we would be as a country now if people were able to harvest all the fruit of their hard work and perseverance.

I really see that even today, a spectacular Black athlete is spoken of as a freak of nature, the long hours of practice, physical and mental conditioning, and film study gets ignored for star Black athletes, but get harped about endlessly for a star White athlete.
