It may not be wrong but it is irrational and often quite harmful to society. The concept of “justice” is useful only in its capacity to prevent future suffering. A failure to enact policies that prevent recidivism makes the state at least somewhat culpable in any future crimes caused by choosing our sense of “justice”…

Totally different culture, created as a response to white supremacy (which at the time nearly all white fraternities were actively promoting.) I don’t think there’s been even been an alcohol related hazing death at a black fraternity in decades. Nationwide, more than 90% of fraternity members are white. Most…

You’re right: a small percentage of fraternity members are part of a Greek system that was formed to try and give black students some of the same privileges given white elites. Non-whites make up a very small percentage of frat and sorority members. #notallfratbros

I don’t see what’s debatable about my statement. Fraternities provide a setting to drink and do drugs with little risk of getting in trouble with law enforcement or the university. Also you meet people whose parents might be able to help get you a job someday. Either way, fraternities are all about privilege no matter…

#richwhiteprivilege. Frats exist because they protect rich white men from having to follow the same rules as everybody else.

“I’m saying that you’re fucking stupid if you think that teams draft black quarterbacks only to force them to run more often than white quarterbacks.”

“The fact that you feel the need to nitpick races tells me that you make race a priority which, by the way, is MY definition of racism.”

Right, post-racial America. You’d prefer to pretend racism doesn’t exist anymore (MLK solved that) and black people are just whiners. That’s okay. I don’t give a fuck about you or your opinions and the world will change for the better—you’ll just be on the wrong side of it.

81% of coaches, GMs and QBs this year are white. 67% of NFL players overall are black. If racism has nothing to do with this, what is it about white people that you think makes them inherently better at doing these jobs?

The fact that you “left out Kaepernick because he’s mixed” shows that your racial awareness is zero. Obama is “mixed,” but when you live in this racist country being “mixed” doesn’t save you from being hated for your race. I’m sure you think it’s bullshit, and in fact I bet you’re one of those people who think that…

That’s why I said “most people don’t see it,” because people like you are committed to being oblivious to racism.

f1. “I see no correlation between running quarterbacks (I believe that’s what you’re talking about) and skin color.” Do you follow football? Look at the quarterback rushing leaders every season. Tebow is the only white QB to rank on this list in a long time. (Kaepernick is black by the way.)

The English language has officially run out of Cleveland Browns jokes.

If you read down you’ll see that I already answered the same question but I’ll copy and paste here. I’d be happy to answer any further questions or criticisms if you have them:

Black quarterbacks tend to have a somewhat different skill set that is (often) better tailored to the modern game that is evolving out of college football. NFL teams draft quarterbacks and pay average QBs outrageous sums of money compared to the most elite players at other positions because they become the “face of…

It took about 10 years for these guys to accept what is now a truism: “The NFL is a downfield passing league.” Now that the tide is shifting and NFL defenses are evolving to stop this approach, coaches are even more committed to protecting the current status quo. Most people don’t see it, but race has a lot to do with…

Preach. You’re one of the few people I’ve ever encountered on the internet who gets this. Farmer is the first NFL person I’ve ever read who’s said it out loud.

ALTERNATE HEADLINE: NFL panics about the dearth of white QB talent, thinks college offenses are “too street.”

Actually quite the opposite. What they’ve failed at is having one of the 10 QBs who is capable of running a conventional NFL offense, which happens to be something most NFL teams struggle with regularly. In the college game, coaches have been forced to develop exactly the kinds of workaround Farmer is talking about…

Not from my experience in college. I personally knew six women who were sexually assaulted in four years I was there and I wasn’t even a particularly social person. None of them reported it. One of the frats that was particularly notorious would hang underwear or bras from the tree outside every time a brother slept…
