On today's episode I explore the definition of racism and who determines what is racist and what's not. I explore athletes using the "race card" to defend themselves from criticism. Last week Josh Donaldson of the Yankees called Tim Anderson of the White Sox "Jackie". Anderson thought is was a racist comment. So did MLB who suspended Donaldson for one game. I read a column from Phil Mushnick of the NY Post who makes some great points about this. I also talk about an incident at Arco Arena in 2016 as the Kings were celebrating the Lunar New Year. The bottom line is we need to do better in this country and stop calling people we don't like racist.
