lol. So even with mountains of evidence proving he's wrong you're going to take him at his word. Brilliant.
Once again, it's irrelevant whether he's right or not. My point has been proven time and again by you, bad luck, and tang. Y'all think minorities aren't smart enough to make it without help from the government. It's shameful.
THAT IS NOT WHAT WE ARE SAYING. We are saying that institutional racism exists and that it is not a level playing field. Minorities CAN succeed, but again, the playing field is not level.
Do you agree with Taint that racism only exists against minorities, or are you smart enough to admit that it can, and does, exist against whites in some circumstances?
He keeps ignoring why minority's "need" to be a proportionate % of Coaches, yet white don't "need" to be a proportionate % of players.
I'd also love to hear what % of a person's make-up needs to be minority to classify him as a minority. Is there some rule somewhere about that too, or is it totally random, based on the situation?
Ofc racism exists against whites. No one is saying that there needs to be equal #s of minority and white coaches.
So, how many minority Coaches does there "need" to be for things to be non-racist?
Why does that standard not apply to white players?
Also, still love to hear what % of lineage qualifies a person as a minority.
That's not the argument I am making.
But then you are saying that white people are better coaches than black people. Smh.
But it is Ok to say that African Americans are better at Hoops? Double standard.
THIS is the point of the entire discussion, as far as I'm concerned. If the rules and requirements exist for any race for any job, then they need to exist for all races for all jobs. If not, it is racism - pretty clearly and simple to understand.
Still no takers on what % of a person's lineage must be a certain minority to qualify them as that minority - wonder why that is.
My point is that because hiring for players is open and transparant you can draw your own concluions. It is harder with coaching.
As to your second point, no one is responding because it is a stupid argument that leads no where.
In other words, you have zero idea what qualifies someone as a minority.
With today's society being a jumbled mess, there's really nothing wrong with that, but you can't scream "Minorities deserve this and minorities deserve that.", then not be able to define what makes someone a minority.
EX: One dark-skinned man is almost pure anglo, except for one grandparent, who was half African-American. Another man, with lighter skin, has 3 African-American grandparents with a diverse history before that. Who is the minority? Neither? Both? Why?
