he wouldnt be a steeler anymore. hell he'd probably be in jail already. T.O. actually makes a good point. if big ben was a black man all hell would be breaking loose right now.

bookieassassin ~ Thanks for the history lesson but it has ZERO relevance to the subject at hand.
What is certain is that if Santonio Holmes was a QB and Big Ben was a WR,Holmes would still be in Pittsburgh and Ben would be run out of town.I'm not sure who is even being accused of racism,if it's the NFL that doesn't hold water because they didn't dictate the trading of Holmes or the retention of Ben.If it's the Rooney family/Steelers that doesn't work either,they have a black coach and one of the first black starting QB's if not the first was Steeler Joe Gilliam.So I do think that people screaming racism is in play here are way off base.
Now if you do want to talk about racism in the NFL,let's talk about Paxico Burress because the way that he is being treated is some bullshit!

Agreed!
But what I'm specifically referring to is the statement by the league that upon release from prison,Plax still must face their punishment which would most likely include serving an additional suspension.

I don't deny it wasn't bad to be black in america at one time, but with so many opportunities to better yourself and the same resources available to everyone this shouldn't even be an issue that is brought up anymore.
SO.....before you throw out the reverse racism crap......(RELAX...."we" are still in charge)....educate yourself on the matter....OR.....just be quiet
Who are "we"? That's a joke. A black/chinese/korean/french/canadian has the same opportunity that I have for anything in this country. As far as reverse racism it does and will continue to exist. As soon as something doesn't go someones way they find a reason why they are different and use that as an excuse. If a homosexual doesn't get a job it's because he was gay. If a woman doesn't get a job it's because she was a woman. People need a way to rationalize why something has happened as passing blame onto someone or something else.
* impossible of course to determine....but most agree that between 75-100 million blacks have died worldwide due to slavery (capture...holding....transport .....mostly)....the number for N America since 1610 or so is somewhere between 25-50 million....SO.... the holocaust was bad ?....not shit compared to this
Wow you can't even compare the two complete different scenarios with complete different variables and outcomes. Might be one of the most ignorant comparisons I have seen.
* while no longer cool for me and the boys to bust into a black families house and rape the women / kill the men / burn the house down....NOT THAT LONG AGO.....(50-60 years or even less in some places).....it was NO BIG DEAL.......UNDERSTAND?.....this pissed many brothers off.....and their sons....and THEIR sons
Once again not saying it has never happened, but I didn't do it and neither did every white man. So in your scenario here you have them pissed at all white people for what happened to their family, and they still hold that grudge? Isn't that just as bad if I thought all black people will steal my wallet, because my great uncle got his stolen by a blackman once? Another pitiful excuse not helping any cause.
know why many black folks "back in" to parking places ?.....(common in the south)....they were taught this by their parents or grandparents ...in case a quick getaway was needed...> some fine white christian folks with baseball bats might beat your ass to death (in college worked with older dude that told the EXACT story).....guess what?......he ALWAYS backed his car in
Same ignorant scenario as above.
* funny ...BR is getting hammered more than i thought....a black dude would definitely get it worse......not by much i don't think....Kobe's was more serious as he was actually charged.....and most have totally forgotten /forgiven that stuff....
in Dallas ...if a very white Tony Romo did this stuff he would get crucified....
This is more about a level of status/money then race.
understandable though...if most of media......and majority of public was black....whites would get ripped more
The media is as corporate as ever it's all about making money and what sells. So they will cater to the majority of their viewers. That's how you can have one story with complete different spins on the same facts.
The only thing accomplished in your post was bringing up stuff that happened years ago as an excuse on what is happening today. To top it off your white trying to call out other whites on these issues haha. That makes it even worse I don't wished to be grouped with you just because we are both white. I'm sure most blacks wouldn't wish to be grouped together either. Until people are seen on an individual basis, this society will never change for the better, and this same conversation will continue to go on and on and on and on.
