Russell Wilson becomes second Black QB to win Super Bowl


Quote:That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. So every job out there should only have 13% blacks. Thanks for telling us how you really feel.
 

What you're saying is that minorities to should over-represent their portion of the population. In other words, you're OK with certain races getting the shaft because you want black coaches, GM, and owners in these positions.

 

You have a problem with qualified candidates being overlooked, right? Seems a bit hypocritical here. 

 

Quote:So racism is a "conspiracy" now?

 

 

I dont think it would be publicly disclosed who the candidates were especially if they still wanted to remain in the league in some capacity. It would be best suited for them to remain quiet on why they know they were passed over. Remember, in today's society of racism, it is more covert. 
 

This is where there's a confusion. You're labeling these situations where black candidates have been overlooked as "racism". You've yet to list a candidate to prove your example, but you continue to push the narrative that racism is prevalent in the NFL.

 

Then, you go on to define "today's society" in terms of racism where you (and likely those that agree with you) have guided the agenda to fit your personal opinion.

 

You've already told me that you haven't determined that you don't think racism exist against whites because you "don't think" they were being passed up. How can you tell me that I haven't experience something firsthand?

 

If you can't even agree that it happens for both sides, then how can we continue to debate when it's obvious you aren't open for different opinions? I judge a man on the basis of his character, work ethic, etc. etc., but you've already said that you want them to over-represent. There is no way around it; that implies you would rather pass up a more qualified person for another based on their race.
