I would have dodged that bullshite war too. Plenty of people did, including plenty of white folk and plenty of people of privilege were fortunate enough not to be called on.

racist, loudmouth, unappreciative of his freedom

Yeah, there is a whole lot of freedom when people who are terrorized from voting by a terrorist group and that group faces no repercussions.

some of you are racist towards the man I understand that,

so even though i am a huge Frazier fan, it makes me racist if i don't like ALi? i get it......when you have no real argument you just yell "racist" b/c it's easier?

is it possible to not like Ali, and not be racist? Or is that simply an impossible task?

Then what is?

WEll, if you don't force it, nothing will really change for minority coaches. College football has a history of not hiring non-white people. Obviously, if it needs to be forced, then there is a problem.

I am not saying there is no racism in the NCAA. It is everywhere. To try and resolve this in the area of hiring coaches, I would start with a pool of applicants. Coaches looking for advancement or change would submit their resumes to the pool, managed by a staff that is not affiliated with the NCAA. Require those Universities that are looking to hire to select applicants by their assigned number, based on how their resume matches the hiring entity's needs. Then they must interview those candidates, not knowing race, gender, creed, or any of the areas listed under Title VII. Many employment agencies function this way and it works to the point of fairness in getting the interview. There are ways other than , "You must interview this minority coach, and that one." Where would you draw the line to be fair to ALL minorities?

Most people who are miseducated only know MLK by his "I Have A Dream" speech and only know the parts where he talks about judging people by the content of their character and not the color of their skin.

For starters, here is just another part of the rest of that speech

Thanks for that info.
You're right, I don't know enough about MLK to take any stand on the subject.

I don't even think you need that. All you gotta do is search programs, mainly candidates in the coordinator positions and bring 'em on in for an interview. It's not that hard.

I don't think black coaches aren't getting interviews because they've failed to submit resumes to athletic departments or because nobody knew they coach football.

oh, and I wouldn't yell "racist" if you didn't come on here callin the man a piece of shite and agreeing with the original poster of the thread.

go back and read every single one of my posts in this thread and attempt to explain how i am racist. This should be entertaining.

I don't see the NOI as a group that terrorizes folk.

---

Black Muslims are just as hateful as any Klansman.

They are not the terror force because they are such a minority atm. Were they to gain wider support and acceptance here in the US (which we seem to be moving towards), you would see alot of violent acts from the inherently violent Black Muslims.

Just like with the KKK, all it takes is one automaton who is willing to bring the rhetoric to fruition. Remove accountability and insert excuses to such a situation, and you have a murderous terrorist.

I think the rhetoric that Farrakhan vomits daily is far more extreme than the words of Osama Bin Laden.

to be fair, let's also post the sons of people of influence who essentially dodged the draft by getting cushy positions

our current president and al gore are 2 very notable examples

At least they were IN the military. I am no Gore fan, but he did go to Vietnam (albeit in a non-combat role).

You can't compare them to a POS like Clinton who said he "loathes America" and demonstrated against his country on foreign soil.

if their parents couldn't have gotten them those protected positions, they wouldn't have been

they'd have done something similar to what slick willy did, and you know it
