Black Athlete Expelled After Intimidation Charge

November 17th, 2008

Harold Washington

 

Black athlete expelled after intimidation charge. Days after word that White students allegedly used racial intimidation against Black college athletes, one of the players is charged with the same crime. Harold Washington, 18, has been expelled from Quinnipiac University in Connecticut after he was charged with bigotry-based intimidation, harassment and breach of peace against one of two Black fellow basketball players. Washington’s White roommate Charles Merritt was first charged with intimidation and expelled after Washington and the other Black athletes allegedly received threatening, racist phone calls. Two other students were also charged. But police say their investigation led them to interviews and searches connected to Washington when another victim complained of racist comments posted to his Facebook.com page. Washington’s “response was not to the person harassing him,” says Hamden Police Chief Thomas Wydra. “His response was to a fellow victim, and that’s what’s disturbing to us.” No motive, such as whether Washington competed with the other Black student for playing time, was revealed.

I am sorry that this young man stooped to that level and put himself in this situation. I pray that he can go to another college. Hopefully, he will go on to become a professional athlete and put this unfortunate incident behind him.

To All, young and old: It’s not the action, it’s the reaction. Do what is going to BENEFIT YOU the most !! Reacting in a manner that is expected of you from HATERS benefits them. You lose sleep, you burn with rage, you pay the penalties associated with negative reactions. Take a minute to think about the consequences. I know it’s not easy to do that when an injustice has been done, but it’s your life that you may be throwing away. Don’t let someone who has nothing to lose take everything away from you. Practice EFFICACY. Compliment a hater and you might be surprised at the end results.

From a white perspective: Fair is only fair. Expel the whites who said racist crap too.
I’m a white guy from Arkansas and I’m not some bleeding heart liberal. And I said my share of racist remarks. But I need President Obama to be President as much as you all need him. You put Obama in a room with some redneck racist for a couple of hours and that white guy will come out loving Obama.
God Bless Obama and his family.

oh what tangle webs we weave. “This is our time” instead of complaining about what’s wrong, build upon what is right. It’s time to get busy. it’s time to make a difference, and just think of how great that will feel. Instead of arguing over who is to blame, figure out what we can do to make things better. We’re in a position to have a positive impact in this world. It is impossible to forsee every pebble in the road, but we can certainly choose which roads to travel based on where we know they lead. I hope this young man will learn from this distraction and move forward. Life is about making a difference. Life is what we choose to make it, and we’ll never run out of ways to do that, we are all capable of adjusting to changing conditions.
