PJ, is racism against white people acceptable? If it's racist for a paper company to have mostly white highly paid employees, is it racist for NFL teams to be filled with black as the most highly paid employees?
The most highly paid employees of both football teams and corporations are the most highly skilled and qualified. And your idiot "point" that black players are the most highly paid isn't even true anyway.

Kevin tells us that black people can be more "highly skilled and quaified" at football and basketketball. I'm confident that he argues that white people can't be more qualified at other jobs.
Kevin, tell me if I read you incorrectly.

I dunno, Boiler. What's "basketketball"?

Yes, Boilerman, it is most certainly racist to hire people for their color instead of their qualifications. Just likes it racist to not hire someone based on their color instead of their qualifications. The UNited States had to choose the former in the spirit of being the lesser of two evils....because too many racist, shitkickers (especially in racist shitkicker states) were implementing racist shitkicker hiring practices. So there ya go.
Wouldnt it be nice if we lived in a country where we could presume racist shitkickers didnt figure into that equation? Maybe someday we'll get there. In the meantime we have wait for Steve Bannon, Tucker Carlson, and all of their ilk to do the country a favor and walk off a building.
By the way, its also racist for cops to disproportianatley target black people for traffic violations, the use of unnecessary force, and render larger sentences compares to whites. And protesting against that racism is what made racist shitkickers boycott the NFL in the first place (or so they said). So I dont see why they give a shit what goes on in the NFL draft.
It's kind of hilarious when you consider the history of racism in baseball--the team that broke the color barrier, the Brooklyn Dodgers, with Jackie Robinson, threatened to have a huge advantage over other teams, by being willing to select from a huge talent pool that other teams wouldn't touch. Of course, all other teams caved in pretty quickly. Not because it was wrong or racist to not hire black players. Because it was bad business. No silly moral considerations or anything like that!
Likewise, if a football team doesn't ignore color and focus on drafting the best players, black, white, or purple, it'll be a loser and a failure. So race doesn't enter into it. The reason why there is a disproportionate number of black college players is, for many poorer black kids, an athletic scholarship is the only way to afford college. But when the NFL draft comes, they're selected strictly on merit. So Boiler's Boilerbabble is meaningless.
I agree with you that we have to get rid of the racist shitkickers before we can have true racial equality--I mean, yeah, the government can enact and enforce equality laws, but getting those idiot assholes to actually regard nonwhite people as human--it'll never happen. So I favor reversing the outcome of April 1865 and say, "Guys, you know what? Go ahead and secede. Enjoy." And all the shitkickers who live elsewhere will have a new homeland to migrate to.
