[QUOTE="texaspackerbacker, post: 490381, member: 25"] There really are two separate mindsets often referred to as racism. Jaybadger came close above but didn't exactly get it right. There is hatred based solely on race, and there is merely citing real differences according to race. The former is morally indefensible. The latter, however, is perception of reality that may or may not be correct. I would suggest that the societal denial of differences according to race is also a perception of reality that may or may not be correct. You can be on whichever side of that fence you prefer. There is, however, no inherent evil or moral wrongness in any of those positions. There is, however, correctness of fact - one way or the other. Either there are qualitative differences based on race or there are not. Why does that perception of reality of the racial differences persist? I'm not gonna take a position on that issue because this is a sports forum. I will say this, though. I see a lot more hatred expressed by the self-righteous "anti-racist" people than by the so-called racists, including in several of the posts above. And hell no, I'm not gonna apologize like the guy above for treading the fine line of politics or whatever in a football forum, as it is very relevant to football. If you possess the first mindset referred to as racism, the hate, it ruins the whole concept of rooting for your team - your racially mixed team. The second mindset referred to as racism, the citing of racial differences, however, is clearly one factor in selection and comparison of players. [/QUOTE]
