When was the first time you thought to yourself and/or spoke out aloud the term "dumb-shit jigaboos" (or some similar racially-charged term)...?
for me, it was when the two Olympic sprinters (first and second place medalists) raised their gloved hands on the winner's platform at the '68 Olympics...
I thought to myself "geez.. we've got the Voting Rights Act and all the programs related to the War on Poverty... what more do you want...?!"
I could understand how black folks might be impatient for change, but, geez... it ain't gonna happen overnight...
eta: I recall interviews with the two sprinters afterward... they didn't sound particularly bright in their justification for their actions...
a template for the dumb-shit jigaboos that followed in their footsteps...
