Doug Williams: Portland Observer's "M an of the Year
How can you
afford a home
o f your own?
•V
by Nyewusi Askari
After successfully quarterbacking
the Washington Redskins to a 42-10
rout of the Denver Broncos in
Superbowl XXII, Doug Williams
said, "I didn't come here to be the
first Black quarterback to start a
Superbowl. I just want to be the
quarterback of the Washington
Redskins.”
Many white Americans found Mr.
Williams' statement somewhat con­
fusing. How, they asked, could he
not want to be the first Black
quarterback to play in the Super­
bowl? Isn't it significant? In tribute
to Mr. Williams, America and
African-Americans everywhere, the
answer to both yes and no.
Before Superbowl XXII ever
happened, the media focused on
Mr. Williams' color. The hype was
almost deafening. Can Doug W il­
liams stand the pressure of being
the first Black quarterback to play in
the Superbowl? Is Doug Williams
qualified to direct the Washington
Redskins to a victory? How does
it feel to be the first? If Doug W il­
liams fails to perform up to expec­
tations, America will forget who
Doug Williams is . . . And when
Mr. Williams refused to make his
participation in the Superbowl a
matter of race, many in the media
were visibly disappointed.
Mr. Williams' refusal to make
Superbowl XXII a matter of race is
in line with the fight African-Ameri­
cans have waged in this country
since day one. What many Ameri­
cans fail to realize is, the concept of
race as a definition for explaining
the African's jjersonality, his rituals,
his customs, his beliefs and his abi­
lities, was introduced to Blacks by
their white captors. This concept of
race carried with it explanations that
characterized Black people as lazy,
shiftless, cunning, and light years
away from whites when it came to
such things as intellectual pursuits,
art, and science and math. This
same concept of race was used to
justify the enslavement of Blacks in
this country.
In reality,
African-Americans
didn't accept his contemptible defi­
nition of themselves by their en-
slavers Thus, from the time of its
introduction to the present, African-
