Jesse Jackson criticized Alabama for selecting Mike Shula instead of Green Bay assistant Sylvester Croom..

The Rev. Jesse Jackson criticized Alabama for selecting Mike Shula instead of Green Bay assistant Sylvester Croom, who is black.

''The SEC maintains a culture of excluding blacks beyond the playing field,''

Jackson said in a statement.

"White players, beyond the playing field, can expect to become coaches, athletic directors and college presidents. Blacks have no life beyond the playing field.''

Maybe Jesse needs a new job.

Don't all failed politicians, whores and afleets all need new jobs sooner or later?

Did that Moron ever wonder if Shula was qualified?

You really think qualifications are an issue with Jesse?



If only we could all be as moral, and decent as Jesse..What a wonderful....ah shit.

In all honesty, racism is still a problem in the U.S.A...and everywhere else for that matter. However, it is a problem because of people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. I am so sick and tired of their bull$hit. Every chance they get to bring a race card into the national spotlight, they do. It is because of their attitudes and their actions that racism is still so powerful. As a white, middle class American I have had friends of all races, colors, and creeds. I have never led a sheltered life and I have seen racism first hand. I would never consider myself racist, nor would anyone who knew me. However, due to men like Sharpton and Jackson constantly thrusting racism in the national spotlight, I sometimes finding myself resenting them and their constant push for "equality". As I see it, they are not fighting for equality, but rather favoritism towards minorities.

A few facts:

We have BET (Black Entertainment Television). If we had WET (White Entertainment Television) it would be racist.

We have scholorships dedicated to only people of color. We have colleges dedicated to only people of color. Universities have quotas on minorities that have to be met when accepting new students. If we had scholorships, schools, and quotas for white people....it would be racist.

We have the NAACP. The only white equivalent I can think of is the KKK (granted my lack of knowledge of either organization is extensive, so I would like it clear that this is my perception, not my conclusion). KKK is a hate group...NAACP is there to help colored people (however, ask a KKK member and he will say the KKK helps white people).


Maybe I am just venting, but I had to get it out. Something I have thought about for a while.

Rrrribit

Maybe Sharpton will jump on this shit soon. don't think he'll make it took far in the Dem Primary race.

But right now, Al's gettin the look...

Jackson knows the NCAA doens't want to admit sports are entertainment and entertainment for them is all about the money.

Who's kidding who. To publically admit to all that "were using you asses to raise money" for our school. You're entertainment kid.

When you're done - we're done.

Now Jackson is from the street, and he know's he can play this shit.

Actually Croom is much more qualified than Shula and would have been the better choice. The problem is those stupid rednecks would never hire a black head coach, depite the fact that Croom is born and raised in Alabama, went to Alabama, started coaching at Alabama, and has a ton more coaching experience than Shula.

The Shula name, on the other hand, is like the coaching world's George Bush, slipping into golden situations based on absolutely nothing but his name. What a complete joke. Good luck Tide, you got your white boy. You'll be lucky to win 8 games while the rest of the SEC blows your doors off again.
