Quote:What the heck 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. 

 

Russell Wilson is not the first black quarterback to win a Super Bowl, so your argument does not hold water. When someone is the first to do something, yes, it matters. It  was a major accomplishment for those guys because they were the first to do it. Being the second is less important than being the first. Also we are much more accepting as a society than we were when the "first time" happened.
