I know the FFA doesn't have a good track record of discussing anything race related. And usually if you mention race, people think (for some crazy reason) that it should be in the political forum. But I think we can have a decent conversation here about this.
The 49ers suspended their radio analyst for saying Lamar Jackson is good at deception because the ball, his uniform and his hands are all dark. Apparently it's no longer acceptable to point out that black people have dark skin.
Look, I think everyone understands that we shouldn't say racist things. But saying a black person has dark skin is not racist. There was no stereotype. No derogatory comment. Nothing mean was said. Things like this are what's going to drive our country apart. People who are not racist are being labeled as racist. If you were continually called racist and lost your job because of false accusations, what do you think that's going to lead to? My guess is a real hatred for the people who accused you of racism.
Why won't more smart people stand up to things like this and say, "Hey. STHU. This guy didn't say anything remotely racist and we should not punish him for what he said." We are slowly sowing the seeds of more hate in this country by accusing good people of being horrible, nasty racists when it isn't actually true.
