Fact is RACE is a very important thing to mention. The history of a black coach has been stereotyped as someone who is not smart enough to be a head coach. So when two black coaches get into a superbowl it is HUGE and it NEEDS to be mentioned, it is proof that blacks are smart enough to be HC. Fact is if a black man were to run for president in the next election(Barack Obama) people would not vote for him just because of the fact that he is black. Same with a woman(Hilary Clinton), because she is a woman people would vote for someone else. Fact is America is STILL RACIST and SEXIST today. Maybe not to the extent as it was, but it still is prejudice. People use things like "race shouldn't be mentioned" to hide the fact that race still plays a role here in this country, people figure if we stop talking about it it will go away. I we have cancer or diabetes will it just go away? NO, it has to be treated, other wise it is still there just not mentioned...If at one time people all together stopped mentioning race and sex, this country would STILL be the highly racist country it was, there would have been no civil rights movement in the 60's and minorities would still be eating out of the back of restaurants in the kitchen; why, because race isn't being mentioned, but fact is it would still be there.
although I do understand that the wise DR. King said, that people should stop judging people by the content of their skin and start judging by the content of their charcter... he also said that black people should stop taking the tranqulizing drug of gradulism( a part of the speech a lot of people forget )... Race is still huge and should mentioned especially if its of the likes of a black coach coming to Dallas.
