eye racism stories
I'M ANGRY because the stories of injustice that have been passed down for generations seem to be continuing before our very eyes.
hurt racism community
I'M SAD, because another young life was lost from his family, the racial divide has widened, a community is in shambles, accusations, insensitivity hurt and hatred are boiling over, and we may never know the truth about what happened that day.
growing-up father kids
If fathers aren't growing up, I would challenge them to want to be a father that is present in the home, so that their kids have that identity.
beautiful race america
I'M HOPEFUL, because I know that while we still have race issues in America, we enjoy a much different normal than those of our parents and grandparents. I see it in my personal relationships with teammates, friends and mentors. And it's a beautiful thing.
people focus path
Moral failure occurs when people lose focus and gradually drift off the path.
law racism doubt
I'M FEARFUL because in the back of my mind I know that although I'm a law abiding citizen I could still be looked upon as a "threat" to those who don't know me. So I will continue to have to go the extra mile to earn the benefit of the doubt.
strong children father
When we look at our children, I think a lot of the troubles we're having as a society is because we don't have strong fathers in these families that can tell their kids that they can do more.
law racism mind
I'M EMBARRASSED because the looting, violent protests, and law breaking only confirm, and in the minds of many, validate, the stereotypes and thus the inferior treatment.
jobs men rights
I'M SYMPATHETIC, because I wasn't there so I don't know exactly what happened. Maybe Darren Wilson acted within his rights and duty as an officer of the law and killed Michael Brown in self defense like any of us would in the circumstance. Now he has to fear the backlash against himself and his loved ones when he was only doing his job. What a horrible thing to endure. OR maybe he provoked Michael and ignited the series of events that led to him eventually murdering the young man to prove a point.
giving tragedy eric
The cure for the Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice and Eric Garner tragedies is not education or exposure. It's the Gospel. So, finally, I'M ENCOURAGED because the Gospel gives mankind hope,
ball threw time
They threw the ball to him all the time in college.
although everybody folk good language languages likes
Although our backgrounds and languages may be different, one thing isn't so different, and that is: everybody likes to have a good time. If there's one language that's universal, it's dance, particularly folk dance.
hit men played trying
He's got 350-pound men trying to hit him in the back of the head. I've never played quarterback, so I can't tell him how to play quarterback.
answer ball best block chance coaches decide depends job open people question run supposed throw tight time whoever win
That's a question a lot of people wonder, we wonder, and it's a question we don't have the answer to as tight ends. Our job is to run the routes, block whoever we're supposed to block, and it's on the quarterbacks and coaches to decide who they want to throw the ball to -- it depends on who is open at that time and who will give us the best chance to win games.
