NBA veteran Kyle Korver wants to talk about his white privilege.
And in his first article for The Players' Tribune, the Utah Jazz forward does exactly that.
Discussions among teammates and Jazz team management follow the incident with Westbrook and remind Korver of how he felt after the incident with Sefolosha: not strictly culpable but somehow responsible. He goes on to make the defining statement of the article, stating the conclusion he has arrived at after a great deal of thought.
"It’s about responsibility," he said in the article. "It’s about understanding that when we’ve said the word 'equality' for generations, what we’ve really meant is equality for a certain group of people. It’s about understanding that when we’ve said the word 'inequality' for generations, what we’ve really meant is slavery, and its aftermath — which is still being felt to this day.
