Maybe it makes more sense to me because I come from a place in time where White people did not hire Black people. In 1971 Tennessee, I recommended a Black friend of mine for a job in a large store where I worked. The guy was good as gold, but he did not get the job. When I asked him about it, he said "what do you think?" He had this pained look on his face, smiling as good as he could, like a mix between laughing and crying. I knew what he was telling me, that he did not get the job because he was Black, and my first reaction was that he was mistaken to feel that way. Then I thought about it, and I knew that he was 100% right. I'll never forget it.

Maybe you should forget it. This is not the same country as it was in 1971.

I didn't get to represent my college in the 100 yard dash..pretty sure it was because I was white..and not because everyone ran way, way faster than me....or that I didnt run track in college..

Maybe you still have eligibility. It's never too late.

Interesting, you either can't read or think, maybe neither. I actually stated why I THINK corporations have trouble recruiting African-Americans. That being due to local attitudes I have directly witnessed while in Knoxville. And all you can come up with is a mindless, "So I guess you trust the government more? OK!'? No wonder so many other team fans consider Vols fans brainless wonders.You certainly give incontestable credence to the perception.

And FYI, I am among many Americans who have lost trust in our corporations. They're greedy, care not for the customer beyond getting into our wallets, and lobby constantly for legislation that will give them more and more leverage against customers. They invest vast sums of money for producing merchandise jobs overseas to avoid USA taxes and paying USA level salaries, thus helping to wreck the economy. Many are now seeking ways to minimize or even avoid paying retiring workers their rightfully due pensions. And it gos on and on. But that's irrelevant to the fact I clearly stated why I doubted Knoxville corporations' ability to recruit African-American employees. It had naught to do with the government, which I happen to not trust either. I consider executive, legislative, and to a lesser extent, the judicial branches a bunch of elected snots who belong to corporations lock, stock, and barrel.

Sound like 8 struck a liberal socialist nerve her! You hit it all ... Name calling, cradle to grave government handouts, and those "evil business owners ." Bet you think the Constitution is outdated? Also bet you never SERVED your nation. Why don't you go enjoy all the tax dollars you are sucking off hard working people like myself or move to a socialist country or New York. You can suck off more people there!

:hi:

The Bleacher Report listed the top 10 recruiters in college football. They had a tie, so they actually listed eleven. Eight were white. Three were black. That is probably pretty close to the racial makeup of most staffs. It would appear from this article that the recruits don't place much emphasis on the race of the recruiter. I hope that is true.

Guys, the only two colors that matters is green and pink. Think about it. So, your recruiter can be purple but if the green and pink is supplied in ample amounts then it just don't matter. Trooper will back me up.

Every other member of the SEC has four or more black coaches and we're down to one.
Butch has the good 'ole boy network going. I'd say there's a 99.9 percent chance the new running backs coach is black and should be for multiple reasons all of which are legit.

Whatever its people like you who won't let racism die, so what if TN doesn't have black coaches that doesn't mean that the staff or the University is racist. It's ok for there to be all black colleges and i wonder how many of those have white coaches? Grow up and quit trying to force your political correctness on everyone else.

My Dad went for a job interview at Oak Ridge after graduating in 1970. He was told he was the wrong color. Imagine that, yet he is a white male. Race issues go both ways!

The generation of racial quotas has grown up now and think that is the path to success.

How about hiring the best person for the job? The best qualified candidate you can get, rather than getting the darkest black man or whitest white man or skankiest woman.

This thread SUCKS!

Ugh. Is this little Timmy Geithner or Barack himself. I hate this little Marxist anti "establishment" bed wetting liberal drivel. Sickens me to think that we both pull for the same team.

The obvious solution since you're the one who is sick, pick another team. I even know of and provide one for you:http://www.topsite.com/goto/resist.com

You guys are really ragging on Sparty? Some of the crap that has been spewed in here and this is what you are jumping on the bandwagon about?

I can honestly say that at no point in my life has the use of the word cracka ever brought into question my standing in the world as a human being.

It DOES NOT hold the same meaning.

True, but no matter. Color nothwithstanding and no matter what derogatory term is used, it's sad that this fanbase seems to have a faction that must stoop beneath crawl tracks of bugs living under rocks. Maybe having a winning team again will solve this matter too. I doubt it but you never know.

If you can react the same way to winning and losing, that is a big accomplishment. That quality is important because it stays with you the rest of your life. Chris Evert (1954 - )
