I just learned that "two powerful" men, Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson, are trying to persuade the NFL to barr Limbaugh and his partners from purchasing the ST. Louis Rams. Can you seriously believe this? Dolphinfan is more geared to write about this, but I could not avoid it...
It is my point to respectfully .... well, for lack of a better word ... disagree with them. I believe that racism exists because of individuals just like (and SPECIFICALLY like) Sharpton and Jackson. Without race issues they are without a platform.
Take this very instance of the Rams purchase: would they have anything to say or any grounds to speak if it were not for race? Further, would they have grounds to speak at any other time? If not for race these men and those like them would have nothing to promote. Let's just think about this - look at Detroit, think back to the demise of the first run with Health Care Bill, Obama's election, several of his Czars - race was tossed around as an attack on the Republican opposition efforts. The Tea Partiers are racist - or worse, Pelosi thinks they are Nazi's!
Race is being tossed around like a political football for everything - as if we have gone back in time! We may not have segregated fountains and busses, but the tension being stirred up from Sharpton, Obama, Pelosi, ACORN and others is making Main Street life increasingly difficult.
It is true that Rush has made comments that reflect his opinions on affirmative action and it's relation to sports and every day happenings, but truth often hurts. It is my "hope" that the NFL does not further their cause of racism by cow-tailing to the PC arguements. I sincerely hope they will stand against this attack and even promote the investors that Limbaugh is working with.
