Michael Robinson and Brad Smith weren't drafted as QBs, though, so they don't count. But yes, it is frustrating to see freaking BRAD SMITH drafted ahead of Mike Hass. I do have some hope for Hass. The Saints are starting with a clean slate, and the new regime seems to at least consider white...

If memory serves, the 2003 draft was pretty bad -- probably worse than this one. NFL.com actually lists every draft from 1982 onward. I'd love to see someone compile the actual racial breakdown over the years.

I'm sorry, but I don't see how Asians are a threat to Western culture. To me, the most important thing is quality of life and feeling safe when walking the streets of my city. East Asians are, on the whole, MORE law-abiding than whites. I would agree that Southeast Asians are an exception to...

The ESPN Radio overnight guy actually commented that, at some point, NFL announcers should be able to figure out that Kevin Curtis is actually fast. I wasn't able to see the game, but apparently there were some references to him being a "slow, possession receiver." Now, the ESPN guy didn't...

Actually, Humphries' hair is one thing that made me doubt that he was part-black. The hair is usally a dead giveaway in identifying someone as part-black (Jason Kidd, Mike Bibby, Derek Jeter, etc.). Humphries' hair is straight, though -- he looks like any white guy with short hair. And I've...

Can anyone point to a specific article, etc., that mentions Kris Humphries and/or Grady Sizemore being half-black? The only place I have seen either guy referenced as being half-black is on this site, without any specific cites given.

Yeah, there have been a few games here and there over the past few years with all-white safety tandem, but nothing really long-term for a while. For example, I know Jason Doering and Chad Cota started together for a couple of games with the Colts a few years ago. And I believe John Lynch and...

In defense of McNair, his favorite target for years was Frank Wycheck, so I don't think he has anything against Bennett personally because he's white. It's not like he's been throwing to the Titans' black WRs, either. For whatever reason, he seems most comfortable throwing to tight ends. Very...

While I haven't heard any "propoganda" from the announcers about Samardjiza, they sure haven't been easy on Notre Dame's other white receiver, Matt Shelton. One of them was going on and on about how "small" he was and seemed to imply that it was amazing he was even on the field. Shelton is 6...

The Dustin Fox-Sehorn comparison doesn't bother me too much. Sure, it's a cop-out, but at least they have similar builds and styles, and Sehorn played recently. What bothers me is when white players are compared to old-time players. This adds to the perception that white skill position...

Here's a quick observation about Chris Manderino. I was watching the Cal-New Mexico St. game this weekend, and Manderino had one catch -- but what a catch it was! He took the ball in the flat and took off, leaving the New Mexico St. DBs in the dust. One of the Cal receivers stupidly and...

And late during the game last night, Charles Davis -- the same color commentator who said that he was tired of hearing Davis referred to as an "overachiever" -- compared Hass to Michael Irvin. He said that it may sound like a strange comparison, but when you look strictly at their games, they...

You answered your own question. The lie that white players (or non-black athletes in general) cannot compete at running back or defensive back has been unchallenged for so long that it has become the "truth" of the NFL. And, when you look at what some of the powers that be have to say about...

Hey, now -- earlier in his career, he was surely worthy of the "marginal starter" moniker.

Jeff Blake was interviewed at the Super Bowl in January, and he went off on a diatribe about how there still weren't enough black quarterbacks in the league. At the time, I took it as typical pro-black sentiment, with the ultimate goal of "dominating" the last remaining "white" positions. But...

You know what I wonder? Just how many white WR and RB prospects over the past 20 years have been faster than Jerry Rice and Emmitt Smith, generally considered to be the best at their respective positions over that period. My guess is hundreds. And yet, we're told that whites "just don't have...

Here's an even more explicit example of Richmond Jr. being critical of the NFL's politics. I was watching an Arena League game last year that Richmond III was playin in, and Richmond Flowers Jr. was being interviewed in the stands. He said that in another era, Richmond III might have gotten a...

McNamara is a junior, so he'll be back next year.

Here's another Madden anecdote. As people who have played the game know, players are given one of three skin tones: light (for whites), light brown (for Hispanics, Asians, and light-skinned blacks), and dark brown (for dark-skinned blacks). During Jason Sehorn's first year as a starting...

I remember reading one of the scouting reports on Luke Staley coming out of college -- it compared him to Alan Ameche, Craig James, and one other old-school white running back (I believe it may have been Tom Matte, but I'm not certain). This made me furious -- Alan Ameche played in the '50s...
