Racism is a disease. Go to your doctor with an ailment, and let the doctor tell you, 'Well, look, I'm not going to treat you; we're just not going to talk about it. It's going to go away.' You would look at him like he's crazy. By not talking about racism, it's not going to go away.

Most people, they're dug in. 'Michael Jordan is the best player, and there's nothing LeBron can do.'
