[quote]This is a multi billion dollar business, you think that owners that will literally do anything to win would intentionally not hire black coaches who may be more skilled? Use your head man[/quote]
No one ever said that racism had to be intentional to be systemic. I’m sure the owners have felt...

Mike Leach didn't play in college.
I haven't researched this, but a quick Google search tells me that Hall of Fame coaches Vince Lombardi, Paul Brown, Bill Walsh & Bill Belichick never played past high school.

Problem is that the general population is not the hiring pool for hiring NFL head coaches. If we said college foo...

No, it’s not ludicrous. There’s science that proves that people of certain nationalities or backgrounds have genetic predispositions to physical traits. ...

I sometimes find myself agreeing with some of your points, but this is just brain-dead stupid.
Nick Saban is not today's most-successful coach because someone taught him to be the most-successful coach. He earned that title by having greater analytical ability than anyone else and by be...

[quote]The same way you think coaching hiring is racist.
White people being the best coaches isn't a sign of racism just like black people being the best players isn't a sign of racism. Winning a job based on your merit is what we should be wanting, regardless of color.[/quote]

I never argued that they were.

I see that you, and most people here don’t understand systemic racism at all. The lack of policy or code doesn’t mean that a system can’t be racist. For systemic racism to exist, it means that the system [i]functions[/i] in a way that inherently places a burden on a particular group of people, usual...

Some of the privileges break around the poverty line, but there are others that transcend financial impact.
Blacks are more likely to get tough penalties for the same crime. They are more likely to get stopped by police. They are less likely to get a job with the same qualifications. ...

Nothing is required, but I think an intelligent person should be able recognize some of the advantages they've had in life. Being empathetic means acknowledging your privilege rather than looking down on someone who didn't have the same opportunity you had.
In no way is that an apology or a free...

When did you see me say it was just luck?
Now there's no doubt that luck is a factor. Just like intelligence, effort, support, money, and a ton of other things are factors.
Saying that all you need is effort to be successful is obtuse. ...

This is the line of thinking that shows a complete lack of empathy for those who are less privileged. Some people don't have the same resources available to them as those more fortunate than them.

Think about it this way. Your family has been building wealth for probably around 100 years. Black people haven't been free of segregation for 50 years.
It's not some crime to acknowledge that whites had a head s...

All for CC, but I don't believe having a gun will not help the AVERAGE gun carrier in the AVERAGE encounter.
For those that do carry "for protection," what are some of the instances when you forsee having to use your gun?...
