I appreciate this piece, Glenn. I think it's important to examine our 'blind sides.' To realize that exploring the biases in our education and our families/cultural backgrounds only enriches us as people. It makes us kinder, more empathetic and I imagine allows us to be better listeners too.
I had just read something about Oher's claiming that the Tuohy family took advantage of him and profited off his story. This sadly will be exploited in the media and social media in a dozen awful ways. All sense of nuance and context will be completely lost.
Time will tell the truth on The Blind Side issue. Probably won’t take too long. Jim
