Quote: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. 

 

 

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.

 

I want to clarify some things.

 

1. First off, when it comes to discussing qualified candidates, I am referencing ALL minority candidates(races). I am not limiting, or prefacing my comments to just strictly African American candidates.

 

2. The reason I did not provide a list of said candidates is because there is no records of specific people. Yet there are countless articles that have been written explaining racism and the lack of diversity and the causes of it in the NFL with regards to Head coaching and ownership.

 

3. I gave you my beliefs as to why whites and blacks are being passed up for HC opportunities. If you dont remember I said "the last time I check, I didnt think the reason why Whites were being passed up were because of the color of their skin". I am not trying to dispute your experiences firsthand, and you cannot dispute my experiences firsthand either.

 

4. As I said in another thread racism is practiced by all races. I commend you on how you treat people, but as I said earlier in this thread and others, society tends to judge differently. For the record, I NEVER said I want them to be "over-represented", I just simply want minorities a chance to be represented. That is a big difference. You are making incorrect implifications.
