[@williampickarski1939]

My respect for Colin after this:📈📈📈

[@Anonymouslolwut]

I’ve lived in the Dominican Republic and taught English in a school there. The education system is extremely lacking. Teachers were not trained well or given the type of help with curriculum that they are in the states. My family in the DR says their schooling was a joke. No wonder most young men become taxi drivers or security guards. Your only hope at getting off the island is through baseball or becoming a doctor. There are exceptions to that, but not many.

[@MrBrunoGI]

That's not a correct statement, many immigrants are forced to take those types of jobs because the american education system does not recognize those other education systems. Many people who had careers as doctors lawyers weren't able to transfer those careers when they migrate. In truth their education systems are better because a 6th grader is already taking classes offered to 8th graders here. But the great american education system that is ranked like 24th in the world doesn't accept their accreditation and take these kids and put them in 5th grade and regard their language as a handicap so some may even put in special education.

[@mikeansley5306]

They are akin to preparatory schools here. Those students go on to the professions and well paying jobs. The other ninety percent face a life of grinding poverty.

Steven A was saying hold on now from my opinion as a Black Man yes I am defending him as a Black Man,a Black Coach in the NBA who doesn't have a resume of coaching at any level would not have gotten that position. Tyrone Lue,Mark Jackson,Alvin Gentry,David Fizdale,Nate McMillan are wayyy more than qualified to get that position. At no point did Steven A put down Steve Nash as a White Man.

[@garrettjeffers1053]

I just got through listening to Colin call out Michelle B. from ESPN and thought, "dumbass." So before listening to this I was not viewing him in the best light. I say that because I viewed this video waiting to hear a racist remark, but it never came. He never called out a race of people, he criticized a country's education system. He didn't say a certain race of people in that country are unintelligent because of their skin color. Also I looked into it...there wasn't any outrage until these comments were manipulated and taken out of context. As an American I do not get offended when people say our education system is failing our children, because it is. I also think I'd be failing my children if I taught them it was okay to chastise someone over something so miniscule. I grew up in south Texas and unfortunately I can assure you racism exists and while I can not tell you what Colin or anyone else in this world says and believes behind closed doors I can say that anyone who becomes enraged about something without getting the full story is doing themselves and the accused an injustice. That is all for my first internet rant, goodnight.
