Ex-NFL star Ryan Clark just gave an extremely emotional speech about being a black father in America ... breaking down in tears discussing his son's recent experience with racism.
"This isn't just a fear for me every day, this has been a fear for black people forever."
"If something would have happened to him, it would have broke me," Clark says."So for me, I have to do a better job of educating him, and I have to protect him."Clark says he wishes he would have taught his son to never approach a white person's vehicle ... knowing what could happen if he runs into the wrong person.
The entire segment is powerful ... Clark sobs as he thinks about what could have happened, given today's climate. As for Whataburger, the chain released a statement on the incident ... saying,"We do not tolerate racism and were horrified to hear how these customers were treated by another customer."
