Dickerson alleges that her 18 year-old son was called a “monkey” and the N-word by attendees. There also “monkey noise” made in reference to the teen. The mother noted that though officials and referees were in attendance, they failed to intervene.
“It’s horrible,” Dickerson said. “He’s a great kid, a good student. He felt like he was singled out because he’s the only Black boy on the team. He doesn’t understand why this is happening to him.”
