I'm not arguing whether or not discrimination really does exist for them but I do think that they believe that this is true and is the reason for their poverty. Here is case that I thought of. It use to be that their were only white baseball players or white basketball players but the minute a black player was able to break through their were more black players who entered into those professions. Why don't they try in other areas? My thinking is that once they see that discrimination is removed and that they have a real chance of being successful in those areas they go out and pursue them. That is why I think you see so many black athletes in this country and why I think there was a wave of black golf players after tiger woods became famous.
I'm not arguing whether or not they are really being discriminated against but more saying that they might really believe that it does exist for them and is the reason why they don't do as well as other groups.
Sports is one of the few areas people are hired on objective criteria . Unlike say ....coaches . Look at the NFL . Mostly white coaches even though most players are black !?
And they always come from the same families ??? Hmmm.
How very racists. Just like Tommy Sotomayor said, if blacks made up 52 percent of anything they would expect pats on the back. But blacks committ 52 percent of the murders in the US and it isn't their fault.
Maybe white coaches are better than black coaches? Just like black running backs are usually better than white running backs?
How black does the NFL have to be before whites realize they are not welcomed and quit watching?
