I think we can all admit that 2020 was a painful year. Twelve long months that have included disease, social unrest, and a divisive election. At some point, though, we need to ask ourselves if we’ve learned anything from all the strife. Did we learn to treat each other better? When you listen to social posts like Ryan Harris‘ last night, the answer feels like a resounding, “Not really.” According to Harris, an African American shaper who owns Los Angeles-based Earth Technologies, one of his friends, David Malana, was teaching a surf lesson with an African American women when another surfer yelled the N-Word at her. Malana runs the non-profit, Color the Water that provides free surf lessons to people of color. Another friend of Harris’ was surfing nearby and heard the conflict start. He approached the man and was repeatedly called the N-word as well. Ryan shared the incident on the Earth Technologies Instagram account, above. Incensed, the surfers followed the person who used the racial epithet out of the water where an argument ensued.
