Racism And The Superbowl
"With George Halas, as great as he was," Pollard III says, "he did so much to try to keep African-Americans out of the league. Here, Lovie Smith leads his team to the Super Bowl. But it was a different age."
Hard to know if the above quote is true or not. However, either way I have found that racism or discrimination of any kind is based upon ignorance and socio-economic status. Things are not as different as they should be. The one thing that bothers me is that the African American Middle and Upper Classes do not speak out frequently enough about what has to be done to improve the lot of the "havenots". I think Bill Cosby has done a fantastic job of doing just this, I recommend you find his current material on these issues.
