Maybe - but like he said it's not talent or hard work, it's because he is white - lucky, priveledged- not good , did not earn it- according to him
I don't think he'd put it like that if you asked him.

Though I do think he'd point out that if we're a coach of color coming up when he came up, he wouldn't have had the opportunities that he did.
Coach of color? What color? J/c

You aren't familiar with the term "persons of color"? Why does that common term trigger you?

I think you're being unhappy and triggered. There are plenty of black coaches in his age group. You guys sound like losers trapped in the past and speak as if it's 1917 instead of celebrating the eradication of progressive era, institutionalized racism. There's a lot to be happy about!

I'm sorry that it triggers you too. What term would you prefer to use to refer to non-white people?

On second thought, please don't answer that.

Because the conversation entails a discussion about a particular subset of people. It's tough stuff, I understand.

How about "Other" -- that's always worked on the forms!

Seriously, how about black, asian, hispanic, etc. Why the need to lump them all together? Oh that's right, it's a group thing against white privilege.

Popovich is a moron. "Privilge" is another way of saying: far too many black kids come broken homes. That is their handicap and it doesn't have anything to do with white people. Shitty homes and shitty neighborhoods lead to greater crime, which leads to higher arrest rates, incarceration, etc, etc, etc.

We've spent trillions trying to address the issue and it has systematically made the issue worse.

Actually, they're diametrically opposed as I recall his comments. "Pop" said white people need to change. White people need to "feel uncomfortable." The facts are that most (not all) black people need to feel uncomfortable about how they're setting their children up for failure - they have kids before they finish school, they have kids before they get married, they raise children in single-parent households, they teach their children to disrespect authority, they create (don't say they're stuck in them) shitty neighborhoods where kids get caught up in crime and drugs.

"Pop" might be good at teaching semi-literate kids to bounce balls and throw them in metal hoops, but he's a shitty life coach.

Can you point out where he even remotely criticizes blacks? He doesn't.

He's just taking the easy way out and telling the crying babies that they should get everything they want and the group they should be emulating more is to blame for their problems. It's juvenile, and counterproductive. There's nothing "deep" in anything he said.

I think it was clear that his comments were directed to the white audience.

Preaching from conservatives to blacks is not going to change their behavior. That needs to come from within.
