Just thought I'd add a thought (well actually an essay lol) I was having on this topic:
I prefer to watch offensive players and I'm better at scouting and arguing for them. We need to work toward getting 1/4 or more of the NFL RBs white and 1/3 of the WRs white by 2020 (which is of course still less than it should be). Unfortunately if offense becomes significantly whiter it is almost inevitable that the brothas keep similar numbers on defense (they want to keep it as "THEIR" domain or the more racially conscious ones will start to constantly play the race card) to keep racial peace. Expect QB to blacken a bit more to balance things out as well. One thing that can make me make peace with this is that at least the media and DWFs won't be able to say that the white skill players success is from "new era" defenses being "less explosive". Also any of the Tarvaris Jackson AA project black quarterbacks may start getting exposed- which will be beneficial to exposing the truths we talk about on this site. With whiter offensive models in the NFL the white players will have other whites that got their back.
The Patriots could become the dominant team that other teams try at "copy catting" their success formula. The vast majority of the Patriots black players are high character guys and locker room peace makers which is rare to find both those qualities at the same level in almost every other locker room with the possible exception of the Colts and Packers. It is my hope that by 2020 that 2/3s of teams have at least one white RB or at least a white guy who is used in the versatile H-back type role like Jacob Hester and Heath Evans. Heck maybe we'll even see some teams with two white men who can't be caste aside as FBs and considered pure tailbacks by fans. At WR we will have to look toward a Patriot or Packers model as being the typical model. The league average being like the Colts is probably going to be a little higher than we can hope for. Remember if you set your goals too high you will always be disappointed, life will never be 100% fair this side of paradise.
With this country's white demographic unfortunately declining my question to fellow posters is will you be able to make peace with my likely "best case scenario" we will fight toward by 2020?
Tough J you make some good points, I think I'm a little more optimistic in that it would be possible for a few teams at least to have an all white offense. I don't believe what the Pats and Colts have is the permanent "limit," I think it's nearly the best possible given today's less than 30% white NFL.
As far as demographics are concerned, remember that blacks are only 13% of the population, so we have every reason that barring whites declining to less than 13% that there should be a lot more representation in the NFL. Also remember these important points. The black middle class is declining in its percentage of the black population. Usually the completely dirt poor black areas don't produce players, it's the middle to lower middle class blacks. The "native" black population is not growing, blacks are growing strictly due to immigration. Black participation in high school sports has been in a huge decline since the 1970s. That used to mean weak secondary sports but still strong basketball, baseball, football, etc. Now in many black areas that means NO secondary sports, and basketball and football teams teetering on the brink of collapse.
As more and more blacks become administrators and school board officials, they are reducing the importance of sports because they are not "graded" on this, only on academic performance. Plus blacks in the academic field tend to have somewhat of a disdain for sports and blacks only being known as athletes.
None of this is factoring in high school and college eligibility requirements that are only going up, not down.
All of this combined with the success of Hillis, Gerhart, Welker, Collie, etc. encouraging white kids to play RB and WR, as well as coaches having no other choice but to recruit white kids to stay competitive, could lead to a majority of white players in RB and WR positions.
Also, if areas traditionally weak in football but vast majority white like rural Wisconsin, West Virginia, Kentucky Kansas, Minnesota Iowa, the Dakotas, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Oregon, Northern California, and Washington as well as New England were developed with strong football camps and speed workshops like Jim Leonhard is doing in his hometown in Wisconsin, then you will have a whole new resource of potential white players. This combined with great white players already coming out of strong football states like New Jersey, Illinois, Ohio, Texas, Florida, California, etc. will make a huge impact.
I honestly think in the next ten years you can see 2 or 3 NFL teams with 12 white starters, 4 to 6 additional like the Pats or Colts now, and 5 to 8 additional like the Packers. This type of thing can have a snowball effect to the point where the Caste system is having a crisis of "not enough blacks" in the NFL in 20 years.
