Stop me if you’ve heard this before -- Roger Goodell said something stupid and woke. 
The NFL commissioner was speaking at a press conference in Phoenix ahead of Sunday’s Super Bowl matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs and discussed how he thinks the NFL needs to do more to hire minority men and women into positions of power. There have been many initiatives enacted by the league to promote “diversity” in its hiring practices during Goodell’s tenure, but apparently it's still lacking.
“There’s better work and more work ahead of us,” he said. “I think there is progress and we’re pleased to see progress but it’s never enough.”
Interesting, because if you’re someone obsessed with diversity in your workforce and getting blacks in positions of power, you’d probably be happy with what you saw in the NFL. Six head coaches are black or other minority (with the potential for a seventh because the Arizona Cardinals currently have a vacancy). That's 18.5%, while blacks as a percentage of the U.S. population are 13%. Furthermore, 13 defensive coordinators are black (with the chance for four slots to be filled before next season). While the league can't guarantee that the skin makeup of the people in these positions will be even, it doesn’t have to.

But that’s all lost on the race-obsessed, who would say that there are only two black offensive coordinators in the NFL is evidence of racism. And they gripe about any situation in which a black man is not given something they believe he is due -- take the narrative that surrounds Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy as an example (spoiler -- its completely bogus).
All of this is not surprising, since the social justice mindset is all about making more progress for blacks in the pursuit of equality. While that sounds good on the surface, the objectives of some who subscribe to this worldview are far more -- dare I say - sinister.
“Equality” in their minds does not mean equal opportunity or equal outcome. In this worldview, equality actually means giving a certain group of people -- in this case, black, but it could be LGBT, Hispanics, Women, etc. --preferred treatment and allowing that group of people to have power and opportunities they were denied in the past.
However, satisfactory “progress” is never achieved (as Goodell’s quote alludes to), because if you believe in this type of “justice,” there is more to be done in any area. Short of mandating every coach in the league be black, social justice warriors will always claim disparity.
It's easy to nod along with Goodell's platitudes or just ignore them. But easy doesn't make right.
If you operate from a mindset in that any situation, opportunity, or outcome does not benefit black people in an equal or greater way is evidence of racism, then you could easily find it in many places. It is a school of thought that is causing harm in countless areas of culture, including the NFL. Seeing racism everywhere in 2023 is counterfactual and detrimental. It robs the "victims" of agency.
We cannot forget that we fight this worldview because it is antithetical to American philosophy and is a not-so-subtle form of Marxism. Think about it, if we live in a country that now values elevating one class at the expense of another, is that really equality? Isn't that slavery, racism, and oppression, the things that black people claim they hate and what removed from culture? The only difference is that the oppression is directed at a different ethnic group. It turns history into an immoral cycle. The oppressed become the oppressors, until the wheel turns and someone else is on top.
It is worth exposing, not just for the sanity of this generation, but to preserve a noble America for the next.
