Hello, Asheville. Are you ready for the first black-American coaches to go to the Super Bowl? Is it racism to have taken this long to make it there? Is it racism to call them black coaches? Shouldn’t they just simply be referred to as coaches?
Do humans need a prefix of black? Why is the word black applied and accepted when used as a title? Why are African Americans the only humans to have a color prefix? Why aren’t white coaches referred to as white coaches? What is proved by saying black coaches? This alone should be considered racism.
If we truly want equality between races, the color prefix should be eliminated. We are even more amazed when African Americans achieve great accomplishments. That demeans and undermines the hard work and success of that individual.
African Americans are the only humans where colorblind does not apply: The word black must be inserted every time by everyone. Even the African-American coaches titled themselves black. What kind of creatures are we?
