I would like to add to your well written point by adding. How infuriating it is that 2 token candidates were interviewed today to fill a league mandated requirement. I would like to think that wasn’t the case and those two gentleman were interviewed based on their ability. Now they probably have all the football acumen required for the job, most certainly so. But they are checking a box and that is what’s most offensive of all.You are delusional. It is these days quite the opposite, and you know it. Affirmative discrimination in favor of some groups and against others is publicly acknowledged policy in industry, commerce, and government. Your silly take is based on a past state of affairs long since left behind by the vast majority of Americans. That you you choose to regard minorities as helpless children, crippled by history, unable to bear any responsibility for the improvement of their lot or of competing on merit is an insult I would resent if I were a member of one of the groups you choose to keep as helpless political pets and pawns. Your "help" is doing tremendous damage to the reputations of these groups as your "beneficiaries" persistently fail at the jobs they given for which they are unqualified. The evidence of this is abundant, and the result has been an ugly decline in the relations between the races brought about by your foolishly playing into the prejudices of those who are actually racists, playing as it does directly into the arguments of such people. Thankfully, more and more blacks and Hispanics and others are coming to realize this. Get with the times.
Wish I was wrong, but I am not.
