It's not the blame game, it's not an excuse, it's not complaining. It's a natural reaction to our unnatural biases. So now that New York Mets manager Willie Randolph has issued an apology for commenting about his perceived difference in treatment in comparison to white managers, it calls into question the ability to react naturally.
