I think hes full of shite and every black player in that room shouldve raised their hands.

You think we have reached equality and equity? Not even close. I understand Frank is the product of a family coming from an oppressed country yet they came willingly.

Blacks were not willing participants. Long story short we have a long wY to go.

Blacks are the majority in poverty and incarceration rates and violence drugs, shorter lives, worse healthcare and education yet are only 14% of the population.

I personally believe a major contribution of this is because of land ownership or lack their of for instance inheritance money or peoperty. Old money has been passed down from generation to generation since the 1500s in America for white people.

Black people are just now starting to accumulate posessions, property, money etc for perhaps 60 years. 2 generstions?


We should be on equal footing come 500 years from now.

Harbaugh immediately backed off similar comments


That's because Harbaugh is a white man, and he has to toe the PC line. Unfortunately that is what this "safe space" bs has brought us. Frank Martin is a Hispanic head coach who, through no fault of his own, has a much longer leash on social matters like this. I agree with CFM stance on this issue, as it appears most ranters do. But I despise the double standard that the left wing has fostered in this country, especially on race matters. There is no such thing as white privilege on race issues.

What did all the slaves do with their forty acres and a mule they were given? You ever look that up?

Things that make you ummmm.

BTW, 40 acres and a mule was 40 acres and a mule more than anything my forefathers got who arrived in this country between 1731 and 1857. And they were all here by then ... and none of them owned slaves.

But anyway ... no biggie. This will never be settled the easy way - it's against human nature and a lot of us are simply at the frick it stage.

They never received 40 acres or a mule. They got the same contract the natives got without the pox and casinos

Your forefathers weren't brought here as slaves. They were also white

If you can't see the difference. It would be nice if everyone actually tried to see life through other people's eyes. Show some empathy for other people's lives. I mean everyone. Then maybe we would get somewhere

But I do agree in one sense rooster. I think people have just said frick it and don't even try anymore

It's too bad because I've always found it amusing that people have pure unadulterated hate. Pure hate. based on skin color. You know how ridiculous that is

No doubt ... totally agree. But the things I have learned in this life:

1 - Play the hand that is dealt you.
2 - Do not live in the past.
3 - Do not make excuses.
4 - There are six sides to every story.
5 - In a nation where anything goes ... everything eventually will.
