First, on the Archuleta issue- the Redskins play one white guy on defense, and he is the only player to be benched due to their underwhelming performance thus far. I wonder why he stands out? Everything that is said negatively about Archuleta could be said about Sean Taylor. The big difference between them is that Archuleta is despised by the media (and white fans) because he is a white guy playing a black position. Also, Sean Taylor is a thug who has committed enough crimes to land any non-football playing citizen in prison, while Archuleta is apparently an upstanding citizen. It's easy to see which one born-again Christian "Saint" Joe Gibbs favors. There is such a double standard applied to the handful of white DBS who are allowed to play in the NFL. Going back to a couple of the last white CBs to be drafted high out of college, both ironically by the Redskins back in the 1980s, I can tell you first hand how unfairly they were treated by the idiotic fans and the lapdog media. Tory Nixon was never given a real chance to start at CB for the Redskins, and was quickly run out of town where he had a brief run as the 49ers' nickel back. He was a second round draft choice, I believe. The Redskins followed up by drafting Brian Davis in the 2nd round a few years later. I watched Davis play, and every time a receiver caught a pass against him, it was duly noted by the announcers and it didn't take long for the fans to start booing him whenever he was beaten in coverage. At that same time, the Redskins featured one of the absolute worst CBs of all time, the truly dreadful Barry Wilburn. This clown was beaten all the time, more consistently than Davis could even hope to surpass. Still, the media did not point out incessantly that he'd been beaten in coverage, and the fans certainly didn't boo him for it. Davis never got a real chance to start, and to my knowledge was the last highly drafted white CB out of college who wasn't converted to safety (not sure about Scott Case, but don't think he was drafted that high).
We all remember what Jason Sehorn went through. That guy was phenomenal for a few seasons, but every time he was beaten in coverage, the announcers would say "---- beat Jason Sehorn," or, at best, "Jason Sehorn on the coverage." This happened all the time, and it doesn't happen regularly to any black CB. If I remember correctly, Sehorn was at the top of those dreaded "overrated player" lists, the ones that always feature a disproportionate number of the few whites who play in the NFL.
On to my second point- I heard that obnoxious "Mike and Mike" on ESPN radio discussing the Tyler Braxton- Jeremy Stevens incident. They were calling it the most despicable thing they'd ever seen on a football field. Funny, just a few weeks back, that black behemoth Albert Haynesworth nearly killed a player by stomping on his face, a la Don King (few people realize that Don King killed a parapelegic years ago by STOMPING him to death- it's absolutely true). I have no doubt that "Greenie" and his buffoonish sidekick Golic consider Braxton's far less violent act a greater crime. I don't condone dirty play, but to single out one of the only white players in the game, for kneeing a well-padded opponent in the groin (not to mention one of the most odious players in the league, long time troublemaker and would-be criminal Jeremy Stevens), is unfair and ridiculous.
