First of all I have not said racism. I am giving you the perspective of others.

Part of the problem with people like yourself is that you are quick to dismiss perspectives of others or even hear them out out.

The other point of this conversation is showing you why people believe with the small sample size of Black Coaches we have had, there have been a disporpotionate amount of them that were not given a reasonable amount of time to succeed. No one is saying the owners are racist.

Let me also make this last point. The NFL itself has said it has a problem with minority hiring. They know more about the hiring practices and barriers than you and I. If you are waiting for a smoking gun that an owner did not hire a black coach because he is black, that is never going to happen. No owner wil l admit that. If a coach comes out and says that something was said to them that would lead them to believe they were not hired for that reason, you probably won't believe that either.

What is fair to say is the system in place does not always allow for minority coaches to get a fair opportunity to be head coaches. Again, the NFL believes this but no one is saying all 32 owners are racist.

Tbf it has historically been a both sides thing. Republicans often stand in the way or de-regulate, while Democrats have been notorious for just not doing 'the thing' whenever in power.

If we don't stop trying to shy away from the reality that both parties are ruining this country we'll never be able to fix these core problems.

Change is going to require what's known as a realignment election, which is where a major third party emerges, or the parties ideological alignment is redefined.
