this is an ancient XP already, but when I first saw that rapper baby thing on Snuffbox I was like "wtf this seems awfully dodgy!" but I think my reaction was just due to American/British cultural differences in that RAP and HIP-HOP carry signifiers here that they probably don't as much in the UK... I dunno, that show is fucking hilarious though.

"There is a perception that I always like a big team. I can remember talking to [former football manager] Alec Stock when I was at Bournemouth. He used to say when his teams walked out he liked to see men, not boys.
....
"Our game has developed. No one talks about Lee Hendrie being at the club, that big, black, 6ft 6in player beating everybody up [Hendrie, a slight, white, passing midfielder, was on a lengthy loan at Stoke].

― nakhchivan, Thursday, 3 May 2012 12:13 (eleven years ago) link
the only issue is whether is he is merely alluding to an idea current among football coaches that black players are thuggish goons and white players are clever & skilful
except that the example he gives only compounds those prejudices, and it isn't introduced in order to criticize them but merely to defend the reputation of his own team (who are mostly thugs, and mostly white)
― nakhchivan, Thursday, 3 May 2012 12:23 (eleven years ago) link
He does mention Salif Diao and Ricardo Fuller as examples of Stoke's skillful side later in that paragraph. Doesn't really mitigate the problem, though.
Is he really wondering why nobody talks about a player they borrowed for half a season five years ago?

there isn't really much reference made to race by english football ppl, even when there is a periodic scandal with some fan or player racially abusing another, the football hierachy/commentariat are pretty much a single voice saying yeah well it's an isolated example, this country is vibrant and multicultural not like russia or spain etc etc
and even though there have been large numbers of black players for two decades, there are hardly any black managers, the executive/managerial culture is largely hidden from view but it's clearly full of insidious racial biases
― nakhchivan, Thursday, 3 May 2012 12:36 (eleven years ago) link
They seem to keep mind of it when it's high-profile enough - there's talk now I understand as to whether the new manager can keep John Terry and Rio Ferdinand in the same team after Terry yelled racist abuse at Ferdinand's younger brother last year.

yeah well his trial will bring out the usual platitudes, but even if he is convicted the discourse will be about one remedial bawheid who will then get to have racist appended to his list of character defects
that is more or less how ~race~ discourse exists in england, racism is the preserve of racists, that is to say those who are or might be convicted of racially aggravated offences, rather than say the employers whose hiring decisions contribute to the ~50% unemployment rate among young black men

She actually had the nerve to write this:
"Before the NAACP leadership gets on its high horse about this, maybe they should go ask a mother trying to raise kids in an inner-city neighborhood how she feels about this, whether she minds if the guy trying to sell drugs to her 12-year-old is put away for a long time."

Drug-legalization proponents across the political spectrum often claim that there would be less violence if drugs were not part of a black market. But I can’t help but wonder whether people inclined to try to make money on the black market wouldn’t simply turn to other kinds of merchandise. Gun-running seems profitable, for instance.
brainstorm!

if drugs were legalized, all drug dealers would turn into gun runners, and there would be a guy selling baggies of automatic weapons on the corner of every street

Oh god I just handed her a half-dozen page hits.
From the original Times article she is commenting on:
“A guy can make six figures a year on a decent bag now, but the players want to have family members, people that are close to them and who they can relate to on their bags,” said Carl Jackson, one of the few remaining black caddies who will work Augusta this week. The black caddies who remain are on the Nationwide Tour, golf’s version of Class AAA, he added. “Or they don’t get a job at all,” he said. “They’re a dying breed.” Their demise can be traced to other things as well — the ubiquity of the motorized golf cart and the subsequent slashing of caddie training programs, as well as this: the job is not as attractive to blacks who have more career opportunities than previous generations. For the older black caddies, the situation is not without its bitter irony: when the prize money was modest, they were the standard; when the money became huge, they became disposable.

From her post:
In other words, discrimination is not at the root of every disparity. And the end of discrimination may even cause greater disparities.
