I really like New Orleans Saints’ tight end Benjamin Watson’s really honest and thoughtful statements on race relations in America – he doesn’t dismiss that there’s a problem, but he puts it in a very substantive and meaningful perspective that hearkens back to a religious worldview.

God bless him, I wish we had more voices like his in the black community, and in EVERY American community.
