Kirk Herbstreit breaks down in emotional message on racial injustice


Why are so many people on the wrong side of history so often? Southern males, a ton of times. Conservatives, a ton of times. Confederates, always. White Supremacists, always. Evangelicals, shockingly, a ton of times.

"The Black community is hurting. If you've listened. How do you listen to these stories and not feel pain and not want to help?" Herbstreit asks. “Wearing a hoodie.

"In a football locker room, that stuff is gone," he said. "Those barriers are gone. We got to do better."

Herbstreit also mentioned a quote attributed to Benjamin Franklin to introduce his point:

"Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are."
