I heard a sports commentator say on TV that 60% of the NFL players are black yet there are few black head coaches.
That's because the chain of talent was of black assistant coaches was choked off for decades. It takes time to work up to head coaching positions. Of course, we are seeing more and more minority coaches as the pipeline has been opened up. Changing attitudes is not a quick process.
Or are white athletes more interested in non-team sports? I'm seeing high numbers in pro mountain biking, bike racing, skiing, and the more extreme sports.
I've always heard that racism doesn't exist and there are people making up outrageous lies. The part that boggles my mind is how we, as a society, say that minorities have equal rights and are treated fairly across the board but then, amazingly, Trump pulls the race card. Of course, his purpose is to keep his base worked up and angry but if one minority on the Prosecutor's side is enough for him to play victim, why is it impossible to believe that minorities face that kind of thing all the time. They pay higher interests rates, get hired last, fired first, passed over for promotions and raises more often, have lower life expectancy because of health disparities, etc. but all of that is just "fake" and the self-proclaimed billionaire (that's always panhandling) born with a silver spoon in his mouth gets pull the "race card"? And, from that, we're supposed to just accept that white prosecutors and juries are absolutely, 100% fair toward any non-white defendants. I'm honestly not sure if they realize how contradictory that is. It makes no sense.
