YankeePride, I actually agree with many of your arguments too. I think things are moving in the right direction and in time they'll get there, as long as we keep an awareness of these historical problems.
I just didn't like the argument being put forward that today's coackes played at a time when there were fewer blacks/minorities in sports, because it is demonstrably untrue.
Minorities are close to the point where they can claim a level of equality in sports. Now if we could just improve education in lower-income areas so that minorities at your school weren't assumed to be jocks...... we'd be getting somewhere. But that's another topic, for another day.

Agreed. You said it better than I could ever.
