Bill Russell: Violations of Civil Rights & Discrimination in Lexington

[@groverreediii6487]

This interview reminds me of the famous saying, you either stand for something or fall for anything. Bill Russell stood for something.

[@ChinueX]

"If you're sorry that you did something why do it in the first place." I LOVE IT!

[@kekesmooth5618]

Cynthia ChinueX Cornelius M.A.Ed. That's the truth... they are sorry for the way you had to react to it versus what they actually did.

[@jassimalserkal1604]

Listening to his voice is so soothing..... from the heart to the heart...... #6 on my back

[@blackezi3]

You just shake your head at a guy like this. I love you Bill Russell

[@kansaspeach7727]

Yes indeed! ❤️ ❤️❤️

[@2dasimmons]

Bill Russell is a beautiful, gracious intelligent man. I looked at a video on Oscar Robinson who faced the racism @ the time and his story is incredible! These athletes were too good and too great to have to put up with the abuse they faced. Even Wilt Chamberlain found ways to deal with it, but it's shameful Americana.

[@jerryblair2339]

I love Bill he's got so much common sense.Hes a thinker.

[@MrEverSoBad]

The greatest along with Muhammad Ali and Jim Brown !!!!

[@lwmson]

I agree with him about the lack of value about apologies. He's right. When someone says they're sorry because they regret the reaction to what they did and not what they did.

[@yossarianmnichols9641]

He has got that right. Apologies from business owners are motivated by money.

Rest In Peace Bill Russell we miss you man

[@johnwest194]

his w!ords of wisdom and integrity has given me the courage to stand my ground against a terrible selfish greedy human being

[@EJLegionHonor]

That man was more than a basketball player; he was a civil rights activist too. He refused to play in Kentucky when the hotel's restaurant refused to serve him and his black teammate.

[@nerdsworthpoindexter6661]

He's the legend among legends.

[@steinfranken1108]

Bill Russell is brilliant. He was a great player, one of the best ever, But in addition to being a great athlete, he is so smart. As a white American, I am so ashamed of the way he and his black teammates were treated in Louisville, Boston, and elsewhere. God bless him for his ongoing dignity.

[@godofwine77]

Ton of respect for Bill Russell. I guarantee you that he would not have played in yesterday's game, and likely would have never played for the team again.

[@previnlubom4498]

RIP Bill Russell truly be missed 😭😭

[@futureicon23]

Wow... that last part.

[@bonafide1972]

He knew doggone well the blacks on the other team would not play either. Again, he was raised as a man and not a rabbit.

[@2dasimmons]

OOPS, meant Oscar Robertson, The Big "O".

Funny how black Americans, are taking a blind.eye today to what is happening now! We have been dealing with the same mess all of our lives. I'm tired now wake up black America wake up!

[@epm5433]

Russell had integrity and courage. You're a race-hustling fraudster.

[@DominiqueWilliams-ue3rx]

Russell is a narcissist

[@djblakethesnake]

As most athletes are to some degree
