What if this was said about a black coach?

“had a skin pigmentation that resembled Cream of Wheat”

-— had a skin pigmentation that resembled Coco Wheats -—

“who is as white (and shorn) as a cue ball”

-— who is as black as a eight ball -—

Sports teams often boast more black people than the proportion in the general populace, and does anybody complain this is unfair?

Whoever does the best job of coaching will serve both the white and black (and red and yellow) people on the sports team best. It should not matter whether that person is a green Martian.

the Illini abandoned what appeared to be their desire to do the right thing. That would be hiring the first black basketball coach in school history.

And if the black coach sucks why would that be the right thing. I would think any thinking man would hire the best coach for the job and not worry about the color. Hiring someone just because they are black is just as racist as hiring someone just because they are white or red or yellow. Quotas suck.

Maybe they don’t want to pay those high taxes.
