Most of you are a prime example of how this country has a LONG way to go when it comes to equality. Most of you think you comments are not racist however they are. And for your information "Tonight...You" the definition of racism in a a very easy to understand way, hope you have basic reading comprehension...

For an argument that claims that everybody can be racist to be valid, two things have to be true: (1) all racial groups must exist in a state of equality a priori and (2) racism must be reduced to (a) race prejudice and/or (b) purposeful action, the goal of which is the oppression of a racialized group. Concerning (1), it's a empirical fact that racial groups exist in a state of inequality, and this fact will be referenced throughout my comments. Racism is a form of inequality, which bring me to the second assumption.

Concerning (2), racism is more than prejudice and purposeful action based on race (which require no inequality). Conveniently, the reduction of racism to these things is the racist's definition of racism. With such a definition in operation, it becomes impossible to fight racism because the very act of fighting racism becomes interpreted as racist in itself. In order to end racism, we must take away white privilege (which means whites lose stuff) and radically restructure society. With the racist's definition of racism in play, the racial consciousness and purposeful action based on race necessary to carry out this radical restructuring will be judged racist. Thus anti-racism becomes racism, which is obviously a self-sealing fallacy. This is analogous to Ayn Rand enthusiasts arguing that all behavior, including altruism, is selfish behavior (and therefore open selfishness is virtuous). The purpose of both arguments, however fallacious, is to perpetuate an unjust state of affairs. In other words, don't so anything to end racism lest you be racist. But in reality, failing to end racism is racist.

The way out of the paradox is develop an understanding of power. Fortunately, we have the social scientific and anti-racist understanding of racism to help us with this: racism = discrimination + power + oppressive group effects. This means that racism concerns institutional and, more broadly, structural power and outcomes that systematically benefit one group to the disadvantage of another or other groups.

Cowboys and Jerry are going to eat dirt soon. You people are worthless. GO SKINS!!!

How dare any of you, without being minorities yourself question this mans feelings. You obviously have no idea what it is like to deal with this issue everyday of your life especially in the workplace. If he said it I am sure its because he feels it. Most of us are not so open about it because we are afraid of of the same type of criticism we would face as proof on this site. You people are worthless and have no idea.

This is a joke, Holmgren is going to San Fran everybody knows that. You are more likely to see Cowher in Dallas than Holmgren. Holmgren is a San Fran boy and has been vocal in the past about re-joining the franchise in some capacity.

T.O. can catch 10 balls for 2 TD's and 100 yds for all I care and the Cow-Girls are still going to get whooped. Lets face it they DO NOT at this point match up well with the re-surging SKINS. I will look for the SKINS to come and take it to them after the dismal loss to the Steelers. What better way than to bounce back and prove you do "got it" then by sticking in the proverbial fork in a floundering and over rated (YES TO this includes you too!) Dallas Cow-Girls squad and finish their season.

Personally I was very upset he did not run the score up to at least 60. Considering the absolute fiasco us Gator fans had to deal with last year it was totally called for. The Ole' ball coach would have for sure. Revenge is always a dish best served cold.

Some of you really have no idea what you are talking about when it comes to UW and should maybe take a few minutes to do some research before you claim UW is not one of the nations most prestigious college football programs. How about second all time in the PAC-10 for wins and adding a National Championship, not to mention a bevy of Rose Bowls to the resume. Yeah but the program is not worth coaching at. Oh and did I mention UW is in the top ten in the NCAA for revenue each and every year, win or lose?
