This term is, of course, often described to the skin color of people with African descent. But in the present, it is a term used more as an excuse. What I mean, is that unfortunately blacks have been through alot in this society, so much so they have their own organization, and as a result we have policies in place so that racism can be prevented, like affirmative action. But what happens when black people start to use their race as an excuse? For instance, the often outspoken Eagles QB Donovan McNabb, recently came out with his latest impersonation of Martin Luther King. He claims that black quarterbacks have it hard in the NFL, in that they have to do "that much more" to prove they belong in the NFL at the QB position. He claims they are scrutinized more than their white counterparts.
Good stuff. Only the problem is not all black quarterbacks agree with him. Two of them in fact stated that it doesn't matter what color you are, it has to do with performance. Which is where I must agree. If Peyton Manning or Tom Brady were on the DL as much as McNabb is, year after year, wouldn't they be scrutinized just as much? What exactly has McNabb done in his career to warrant praise? Yes, he has delivered division titles, but so have the Buffalo Bills, and nobody remembers Jim Kelly. McNabb, more than anything, sounds like a crybaby, and he is simply trying to divert attention so that we can focus on other things besides how much he sucks now. Period.
Outside of the South, which will always have racial problems, everyone else seems to have moved on. Our society hires based on performance, not color. If black people today face hardships, they should stop crying about racism, and just realize someone better, brown or orange, is better at their job, no matter what job it is. I'm sick and tired of black people like Donovan McNabb crying over the media criticism, and looking for the NAACP to step in. Get over yourself Donovan, you aren't that good anymore, and God forbid a white quarterback takes your job, oh my God call every Negro society in the country, that would be worse than the current situation in Louisiana. Grow up you washed up prick!
