I was talking to a friend of mine while watching the Colts, Patriots game and I said I was torn about the outcome. I can't stand Peyton Manning and I hoped he would lose HOWEVER, I said it would be nice to see a black head coach make it to and win the Superbowl (something that has never happened before). Well for some god-only-knows reason, she told me that was a racist statement! I asked why and she said that would be the same as her saying that she hoped a white coach made it to the Superbowl(??)
After recovering from the sheer stupidity of her "analogy" and total lack of logic, I explained to her that there was nothing racist about my statement. I merely said it would be nice to see a black coach win the Superbowl. I didn't say "I hope that black coach wins over that white devil cracka!"
I don't think that she realized what a significant milestone that would be for black people in general, since there is like what? Less than 6 total black head coaches in the NFL?? I could be wrong, but I know it's not many. She still called it a racist statement.
I knew there would be no convincing her so I quickly changed subjects before I lost my patience. Plus she's a 22 year old who thinks she knows more than she does just because she's traveled all over the country, but often times she's wrong. Of course she never admits it even when there's a ton of evidence stacked against her.
It was still disappointing hearing such a narrow minded accusation coming from her though.
moron.
