Polynice Made the Effort, On and Off the Court
Those who are “outraged” by the comments of Byron Scott regarding the rioting have created an epic false dichotomy that seems typical of an audience truly ignorant of the anger that African Americans have felt for years.
Because he did not condemn those creating the violence does not mean that he condones them. It seems that the people writing these letters, like the jurors in the Rodney King trial, do not have any desire to understand what is truly going on in L.A.; they would rather sit at home in their safe white neighborhoods watching their color TVs.
