The odd thing about racial issues is that they are rarely black and white, and the gray areas can cause huge and incendiary differences of opinion.
For proof, we offer the latest racially charged controversy involving Chip Kelly.
The Eagles coach said Thursday that he was not hurt by the racist accusations made against him by his former running back LeSean McCoy earlier this month during an interview with ESPN The Magazine.
His actions, however, said otherwise.
"I reached out to him twice and he didn't accept my call and then I talked to his agent [Drew Rosenhaus] and told him I'd love to talk to him at some point in time, but I haven't had a chance to," Kelly said before the Eagles completed their first week of organized team activities.
