There’s one Black head coach in the NFL fam. To say that the make up is changing is to assume progress is linear and regression doesn’t exist. We’ve already seen the regression because Tomlin stands alone. If not for him being on the team that created the Rooney Rule he probably would have been fired years ago too. And let’s just be honest, Black people didn’t create the socioeconomic construct of race. The fact that it does permeate every facet of society isn’t a decision that we made. We were born into this situation and we see this in all facets. I’m writing my dissertation on the lack of African American representation in the c-suite of healthcare facilities. 91% of all hospital CEO’s are White men. We can find this pattern almost everywhere my brotha. When is it okay to call a spade a spade? All these brothas are doing is reporting their lived experiences and the data and historical context of our relationship in America supports it all. |
