BASIN NFL ANNUAL DRAFT GUILT TRIP
NFL Draft is this weekend. It is immensely popular. Even non-draftniks follow the first couple of rounds. It is interesting. Still, it almost raises the issue whether man has a dark side that responds to the ownership of human beings. Is this just a polite, well-funded way to feel the same things the slave traders felt?
It's all good fun......isn't it?
This is pretty much my annual post on this topic--I guess we can feel a little better the first draft choice this year was a white guy.

Bama did well and Andre went high first round because the tapes don't lie .
I think Coffee , Caldwell and Johnson will do great at the next level .
USC placing 11 into the NFL shows the talent pool old Pete is getting into 'SC
On a Side note the Cubs actually showed up for a game .............wtf
Interesting comment that we can "feel good" that the first pick was white. The guilt that some feel about slavery amazes all of us that never owned slaves. White or black if you equate this with slavery nothing should make us "feel good" unless there is some hidden adgenda with the attempt to assign guilt.
Aren't whites pretty much "owned" by blacks in major professional sports?
Sure the NBA requires one token white guy on the court at all times, but what happened to equal distribution of income based on racial population distributions? You don't actually believe that blacks are superior in certain sports to whites, do you? Or do you believe that races are different, and hiring quotas to treat them as all as identical make no sense?
The grandchildren of the slaves that were sent over BY Obama's grandparents to US probably fared MUCH better than than the black slave sellers in Africa. Consider Obama's half brother in Africa, who has had some trouble with the law, but gets by because he is "good with his fists".
There may be a dark side of man's desire to control and "own" others of ANY color. The sports arena would seem a strange place to try to find it though.
I'd look more in the world of crime and politics. The "chains" of crushing debt and heavy tax burdens may soon make many feel enslaved.
Is there some public school instilled white guilt that inspires some to hope that those darn successful white capitalists will somehow be turned into that deceased paragon of socialism ... the USSR? Ahhh if only we could only live under such dreamy equality ...
Is there any place better than sports in the US to exhibit how well people of any race can do when given equal opportunity, measured not by quotas, but by actual ability to achieve?
