From A Young G's Perspective

Resentment and all of its trapping can affect people in different ways.  The same anger that makes a mother beat her son relentlessly, because he reminds he so much of the lover that left her so long ago, could make a young boy who has never known his father, watching his mother work herself ragged, hate any establishment he feels will never accept him because of circumstances he couldn't control. Jalen Rose was that young man and Duke was that establishment.  Uncle Tom aside, what we as people should do is understand that  actions are directly influenced by past happenings.  The gallows have been erected and the nooses are tightened, but does the misplaced anger of a young man who only wanted the love we need, deserve many lenchmen?
