Also, I need someone to explain to me how it is racist for I to mention that a black coach won the Super Bowl. How is it racist for a black man, even the black coach in question, to mention that a black coach won the Super Bowl.
The day true progress is made with reference to racism is when we can finally call people for who they are without reference to their skin color!

I was told TO MY FACE, I wouldn't be contacted for AT LEAST a year because I am a white male, and the union is looking to diversify and the quota for white males is already filled. (I've worked lots of union and non-union jobs as an electrician over the years, I saw 1 black and 1 woman out of about 500+ electricans I've even seen at job sites).
I'm not asking you to feel sorry for me, but if a black guy went there and got a barely passing grade he'd have the job. If he was told to his face in front of many people he wasn't going to be hired on because of his color, he'd be a millionaire.[/quote]
Oh, we're getting to the root of your race problem. I don't think that's exactly enough discrimination experience for under your belt to make you the world's expert on how we're going to over come racism.

No, it wasn't implied. And eff if you aren't racist. Maybe you can't see it in the one or two comments per your replies but maybe a large conglomeration of them will help? I mean, you're like the second to last person one should ever speak to about abolishing racism.

I agree, he's just a great coach. I think of it in two different ways, I suppose. They way you say and I agree with and then in another way as an accomplishment in our society.

bcnu, I won't agree with tallies being made if that is happening or ever does happen. That would totally be competition between races, lol.
I do hope that someday that the "first black to... " or whatnot, will be a thing of the past. I think for now though, it's needed. It's like a stepping stone or part of a transformation us as a country needs to go through. It's a reminder of where we came from and how much nicer it is we have come so far.

I don't care what you look like. I care what you DO. How you act. What you say. How you say it.
(OK, I would be kind of freaked out by someone with a horrific injury like those folk on Discovery Channel without faces)

If you go shopping, please make sure you have money. I am tired of standing in line for 15-30 minutes while the checker is on hold with your bank check....oh and a visa card is not an acceptable form of I.D., neither is your library card or temporary driving permit.
and PLEASE we WEAR DEODORANT in the US
I'm very happy to have moved up to WA state from SoCal, because it is so nice to go to the store or sit in a movie theater and not have a bunch of idiots yelling, cussing, and talking loudly wherever I go. I'm not white, but white people just seem to know how to act in public, except the white trash ones, but you only see those people on the first of the month.
