To: ALL WARPATH MEMBERS WHO WERE OFFENDED BY THE RACE AND BLACK QB ISSUE

I was not surprised by any of the posts or reactions by those of you who did respond to my post to Matty and ThatGuy concerning Parcells, Carter and racism at the QB position.

I am equally not surprised by Matty's decision to lock the thread because he felt it wasn't appropiate or relevant to discuss such an issue with regard to Parcells.
This is the attitude of a lot of people take when they would like to avoid issues about racism that they deem inappropiate when speaking about it an open forum. A lot of shit is said behind closed doors but let's not discuss it out in the open. It make's people uncomfortable.

The NFL changed it's face do to protest and movements that put pressure on them to change. A lot of you were probably complaining, " Gee, do we have to talk about black coaches in the NFL? , using the same line that we are accustomed to hearing, " I don't see color, I just see people," and the most famous one, " Just hire the most qualified and not the color of their skin." Whether you agree with it or not, that mentality is in every aspect of America including the NFL.

Well, I'm not the one who side-steps any issue that is relevant to my experience as a black man in America. The problem with a lot of you is your're too afraid or caught up in your own issues that you don't even want to here about anything that doesn't affect you.

Well everyday this is an issue for people like myself and I will never apologize to any person who is uncomfortable or refuses to hear the legitimate problems that people who look like them have been the root of.


With that said, I have chosen to discontinue my affiliation with this website because it does not reflect my view of what the Redskins fans base is or should be for that matter. I will continue to support the Redskins in the same way I have for over thirty years and will work to provide a forum that represents a well-balanced view of fans and their opinions. Stay tuned.......Sunra
