You don't even have to be abundantly intelligent to speak out about this subject. My friend who is black was pulled over in a white city where he grew up because he fit the profile of a drug dealer, a young black man driving a nice car. He worked very hard and his father bought him a Mustang. The police saw him and pulled him over, guns drawn threw him on the ground, then claimed he resisted. His girlfriend crying called THE PASTOR and they tried to say she swallowed dope. This all is amazing as I know all of them personally, and they come from very proper families. They don't even associate with FAMILY that are seedy, let alone be that way themselves. The officers in the case ended up being fired, because of a totally different offense against someone else! By the way both of them were college students. One is now a teacher, and the boy works for the NBA and drives a Lexus he bought on his own now, because the incident with the Mustang scared him. An innocent young kid who had to sell his dream car because some cop assumed "young black kid with Mustang=drug dealer" instead of father bought son Mustang because of all A's

So the old white journalist who has no idea what it is like to be a minority doesn't think D Rose can speak on what it is like to be a minority? I'd like to point out the shear stupidity of the journalist and wonder if he should be talking about basketball since he is not playing in the NBA currently? #WhyDoWhitePeopleSayStupidThings

He is trying to become significant, no reply by Rose is what should happen.

When a black athlete makes a statement without explaining him or herself to anybody. When the violence has be happening for a very long time nobody is saying nothing about that. White people don't explain there self when they do things in this world, why do blacks have to do that is that a form of modern day slavery. Let's deal with the issue of the killing of our young black men and the blatant racial issues.

Ths young man Derrick Rose, doesn't need to explain or say anything. By wearing the t-shirt with the stetement on it, he said it all. We all already understand what he is saying. The only person who needs to say anything is that reporter Dan Bernstein, he needs to apologize to Mr. Rose, for his outrageously condescending statements! He came off like a real jerk!

I Hope DRose continues to wear the Tshirt and it wasn't just a one time thing. But give him credit, too many athletes are afraid to take a stand and make a statement, even a simple, poignant, one as wearing a tshirt (without saying a word verbally about it) because they don't want it to affect "their brand", their endorsements. Ultimately they "sell out" and don't say anything because money is all too important for them to lose. Even if it's only potential money that they haven't even made yet. Michael Jordan, tiger woods, are just two of the most powerful athletes of our generation and I can't remember either of them making a statement or any statement about something as important as this. Drose did grow up in the inner city of Chitown and he's made countless statements about how Chitown is in trouble, the violence is too much..... I live in NYC and I've heard several interviews. He puts his money where his mouth is. Journalist like this trying to entice him to do more are just ignorant and clueless about what and who DRose is and has been his entire career. Drose deserves to be applauded.

The reporter's comment is typical in trying to provoke a response from someone who stands up for injustice. Injustice will continue as long as we don't speak up & if we do speak up we are made to think we are wrong for doing it so we can stop speaking up & allow injustice to continue. If I were DRose I would not respond to the reporter's comment. :(
