I'll repeat what I said on the playoff thread:
Tony Dungy and Lovie Smith should issue a joint press release telling the press to shut up already about their ethnicity.
Unless they were born in "Africa" they are just plain "Americans", like the rest of us---damn politicians and media will continue to do their best to keep a split between true US citizens by bringing color or native race up----this bullshit could have been put behind our Nation long ago if we all credited folks with belonging to the 'human race' only----glad the coaches made it to the Bowl for they certainly deserved it with the attitude of the bigots in our country.
I saw that comment, and I agree totally. Of course, the race pimps in the DBM would ignore them.
I'll say what I said on the playoff thread - how in the hell are we ever going to get to the place where we are "judged not by the color of our skin but by the content of our character" if we keep bringing up race in every bloody thing? I could see if this were the 60's or prior, but it isn't.
Tony responded, "I'm proud to be African American but this is about the Colts."
"Tony Dungy and Lovie Smith should issue a joint press release telling the press to shut up already about their ethnicity."
Lovie Smith made a big deal about being the "first" black coach to go to the Super Bowl at the post-game interview.
This is not NFL inspired.
