Racism

lastor He also said it all started with
selective breeding during the days of
slavery
Alter a Hood of complaints about The
(Ireek's remark^ he was tired Once
again. Snyder is not the architect of those
theories Those same white men who
control CHS and fired Snyder are mem
tiers of elitist w hile dubs such as I he
Kmckerliocker ( luh and ! he l niversity
('luh Neither of these clubs had even a
single black memtier at the tune of the
firing
A caref ul analysis of Snyder s remarks
shows that although they were clearly
insensitive, there is some truth in what
he said His claims that some blacks
jump higher and run faster than some
whites is supported by the fact that

and Cornier -portscaster. has commented
more than once on black dominance m

inp more white players to increase alien
dance (’an you imagine a white coach
today petti tip by with such a suppestion '
While Snyder s remark. “There won t
lie anything left for whites ” is an exag
peration; if blacks dominated the execu
tive as well as the athletic side of sports
thev would indeed control virtually all of
sports Snyder didn t indicate whether
this was a piHxi thing or not. he simply
made an honest observation
Firing these two men did not eliminate
racism w it bin the Dodger and (’BSorga
mzations Their dismissals only provid
ed the media and the public w ith a false
sense of justice
Although their comments were
unquestionably insensitive, they were
^till very mild m comparison with Jesse
Jackson's hateful remarks about Nev.
York City being "Hymietown ” Or the
Philadelphia disc jockey, George Woods
w bo complained alMint Korean business
men m black neighborhoods “They don t
look like we do: they don't live like us.
and they don't art like us Woods is still
employed and Jackson is still considered
a political leader
According to Waller Williams, a black
economist at George Mason l these
double standards exist because the
media and the public have lower ex pec
latinos lor blacks Williams also says
that tolerating these racist and bigoted
remarks bv blacks profanely violates the
civil rights movement
Kacism is not a black and white issue
And su|>erficial remedies, like tiring 70
plus-vear-old men for misspeaking on
television, will only serve to cover up the
real problems w hile the wounds of true
hatred continue to fester
