when someone calls another a racist for using a word without regard to whether they are truly prejudiced against a member of another race.

If we objectively assess Coach Scalley‘s track record, it’s quite evident that he is not prejudiced against Blacks. I felt similarly about Coach Pugh and his track record with his players.

Coach Scalley regularly associates with, cares about, and truly loves his players without regard to their race.

Love is needed to overcome racism and that usually begins with associations and friendships.
