Hypocrisy runs deep among today’s ‘woke’ generation. For one, it’s become acceptable to yell racially charged slurs at some people, and in some cases, you’re a racist for even mentioning the ethnicity of another person. Things like that have caused a major divide between people who want true equality and those who just want disruption or suffer from some unjustified guilt.
During a game NBA Clippers player, Montrezl Harrell called Mavericks player Luka Doncic a “b*tch a** white boy” during an NBA playoff game tonight. The incident was accidentally captured in a close up of Montrezl. While there is no audio, what he says is unmistakable.
Take A Look:

ESPN host Jay Williams unloaded on Harrell in a powerful video that isn’t getting as much traction.
Williams said in a video released on social media, “I am no lip-reader, but d**n Trez. D**n Montrezl. I can only imagine if Luka Doncic had said something like that to you and it got caught on tape. I can only imagine during Black Lives Matter how much of a big deal that would have been, considering today’s climate and state. It would’ve been a massive story. Luka would’ve lost all credibility in this space. Everybody would’ve been commenting on it. People would’ve asked LeBron [James] about it. People would’ve asked Kawhi [Leonard] about it. Everyone would’ve had some kind of statement about it.”
Williams adds, “But it’s not that big of a story because Trez said it to a caucasian person. It should be a big story because it’s not acceptable man. Look, I’m a hooper. I talk trash. I cuss people out. We can get into the nuances of whether that’s right or wrong, too. But what you said, when involving race in it? And I’ve heard people say this back in the day that basketball scenarios and playing hoops in the inner cities. I still didn’t find it acceptable then. I don’t find it acceptable now, especially when cameras are on you 24/7. Get lost in your battle, man. But don’t get lost in saying things like that.”
Williams says again that he’s not a lip reader but that it’s so painfully obvious what Montrezl said to the white player.
“We don’t need that in today’s game, especially with everything that we’re fighting for as it related to equality,” Williams went on to say. “Not acceptable. Not acceptable.

Williams was absolutely right in my opinion. If the racial roles were reversed and a white player made similar remarks to a black player- the world would have exploded. Why then, is it acceptable only when the target is caucasian?
