Is it confirmed he wrote that?


Honestly if he wrote it, I would expect it to be more well written.

But who knows

I agree with him 100% and admire his attitude, but hopefully this helps to dispel the feelgood narrative that he's some genius because he majored in communications at "Standford".



He spelled Stanford correctly in his post. The moron transcribing it for the article spelled it as 'Standford.'

Never mind, Putty brings up a good point. No reason to derail the thread

but everyone has a chance.. Stop giving free rides and make people work for them. Even if your parents, grandparents, great grandparents were all drug dealers and prostitutes in an out of jail somewhere along that line somebody has to break the cycle. Everyone has a chance.. Might not be equal but we all have a chance.

Stop giving freebies and break the cycle.

Good for Richard Sherman using his voice to deliver this powerful message to attempt to change the way people think about the race issues. We need more people doing exactly that.

However, truth be told, I'm hoping to see 5 more pages of debate over grammar and punctuation....you fricking tools.

He's playing with fire. When Cosby tried to do that, they framed him for rape.

I agree that not everyone has the same footing starting out, but I think the bigger problem with bringing oneself out of poverty cycle is the message that college education equals success.

Why should a kid with a 2.0 in high school be accepted into college where they more than likely won't be successful, incur debt, and lose time that could have been used learning a trade or gaining experience in a different field?

It isn't doing anyone any favors by accepting non-viable students.

Very true, as a white Hispanics male I have to work harder than my peers to get into medical school because of the color of my skin


I'm hispanic and I've never had any problems at all

Started my own company from scratch and doing really well, at least in my opinion, with it. In todays time, there really isn't any excuses. Every white man I know who made a good career worked his butt off to get there. I haven't had to work any harder in life than any of them and my parents were far, far, from rich.

Same here. I had white short non athletic parents and had less opportunity to be starting point guard for the LA Lakers. I am not blind to that fact.


You and the average black person have roughly the same chance of becoming an NBA starter,
So what's your point?
