Quote:James, how many times do I have to say it? Russell Wilson was not the second black quarterback to win a Super Bowl. He was only the second starting quarterback to do it. That is an important fact to remember because although Byron Leftwich (and maybe others) did not play in the Super Bowl, he did get a ring.

 

I will let all racial minorities think what they want, but to me it is like calling Steve Young the first left-handed Super Boiwl winner.

 

What the [BLEEP] are you talking about. Any minority should be proud of these type of accomplishments. It was an accomplishment when Jackie Robinson became the first black player to play in the MLB, Jesse Owens became the first black olympian, it was an accomplishment with Dungy became the first black headcoach to win a Superbowl. All these are important if you consider the context. Just 60 years ago, blacks were drinking from colored water fountains, getting hosed, hung, forced to live in complete segregation from whites. If you go further, roughly 250-300 years ago blacks were still slaves. Every event, every milestone should be celebrated. We've come a long way. This goes for hispanics, asians and everyone else.
