    The sheriff’s son is now the sheriff in lake county. Don’t know if he is a murdering scumbag but his dad sure was.

    Apple usually doesn’t fall far from the tree. In any event, how could he even be elected given his family history? That’s why racism has persisted over the centuries.

    It's your side who always talks about black coaches being underrepresented while ignoring that, using the same metric, black players are overrepresented. One makes you outraged, the other you conveniently ignore.

    Tell me the last time you saw a commercials that didn't have a black person in it. I can tell you several commercials that don't have a single white person in it, but every commercials nowadays has at least one black person.

    Black people make up 14% of the U.S. population. That's not even an opinion, that is a statistical fact. Hispanics, not Blacks, are actually the largest U.S. minority and it's not even that close.

    So why do you not complain about Hispanics being underrepresented in commercials? Being underrepresented in coaching? Or in college sports in general? Blacks are far more represented in commercials than Hispanics despite the fact that Hispanics are the far larger population.

    See the difference between you and me is I don't care because I believe in meritocracy. The best person gets the job. The best person gets the scholarship. I don't care about quotas and DEI.

    In fact I utterly hate DEI for one reason. The E in DEI is for Equity, not Equality. We all know equality is about equal opportunities. Equity is about equal outcomes with no regard to the effort, skill or talent involved. Take hiring for example. Equality is everyone gets the same opportunity to apply for the position and is considered equally, regardless of race, sex, religion, etc. Equity though is "we have 7 open spots and 5 must go to minority candidates regardless of qualifications". Equity is "well this position has to be filled by a black person to meet racial quotas", even if there is a better qualified white person or even a better qualified person from another minority group".

    Equality is students being given the same materials for a project and then being graded equally on that project. Equity is everyone receives the same grade regardless of the effort given on the project.

    I support Equality. I despise and will never support Equity.

    Have you taken one of these DEI tests when hired by a company? They do not focus on one race, make you as a white person feel bad, or impose any questionable ideals on you. There are examples of situations where people are treated differently because of their sex, religion or skin color

    Funny that you say the left wants to be like Russia, when it is your orange god that loves Putin and met with Victor Orban yesterday (called he a "great leader") Did you see the video of Tucker Carlson grocery shopping in Russia?! Those beautiful subways?! Man.

    You're worried about the "end of the white race", that says everything. I imagine you also think Trump is still president, he just turned it over to the military and Biden is an actor, he died a while ago?

    Ah yes, those racists from the NAACP. Just like those awful racists Thurgood Marshall, Martin Luther King Jr., and A. Phillip Randolph. :emoji_joy:

    You all must listen to some talented race-baiters on an hourly basis. You sound foolish with your nonstop race talk.

    I don't think this is actually accurate. I saw a Tucker Carlson special where Russia had delicious bread, and a beautiful, graffiti-free subway. It was awesome.

    It’s crazy how quick they are to call black organizations racist, but they never call any of the modern day MAGA characters who constantly do/say blatant racist stuff racist lol

    I'm sorry I interrupted your circle jerk. You guys start these threads with race subject and the second someone who is not lockstep with you comments y'all blow a gasket. Proceed on.
    I will leave this thread saying, there was nothing false about my statement. Outside of your racist attitude and the fact I didn't lock steps with you guys. Somebody point out where my statement itself was wrong or out of line in a thread that was starting to turn sour with comments from the usual participants.

    "Gator Lawyer" since when does something (according to you) become racist (against blacks ...according to you) because it relies on ability and not some artificial criteria? DEI is the personification of providing a leg up to people who don't need or want an advantage because they're fully capable of taking care of themselves.

    You are conflating DEI with affirmative action.
