Then again, tell that to Scott Peterson's ex-wife's family.
There is good and bad in every race. IMO your broad generalization is somewhat overstated.

OK, I have one for you.
Let us look at all the college football Head Coaching positions at the D1 level (about 118) and see how many Black head coaches are out of that number? Then tell me how many of those schools have African-American Presidents and African-American Athletic Directors? Then tell me why there are only about 4 Head coaches at the D1 level coaching a sport in which the kids that look like them literally dominate the sport. So you are telling me that all the Pro Hall of Fame players and well known athletes that have gone through all these programs whether they are in the deep south to the far west, you cannot find at the very least 10-12% of the coaching positions in a sport where people of color have dominated?
Now out of all those D1 conferences, how many of them have African-Americans as the supervisor of officials?
Now I am not talking about jobs in the larger society. I am only talking about a part of society where opportunity and talent can be proven on the field or in an arena. Where folks of color can prove they are the fastest, the strongest or the most successful by what they literally do on the field and you cannot find more than 4 African-Americans to coach a sport where in many cases 70% of the football team is African-American? Now what part of a generalization am I talking about?
