It seems to me that we're talking about 2 different things here. My statement is people get hired for a variety of reasons. I stand by my statement. I know it to be true.
My internet gut is you want to pigeonhole me into the argument " that all black refs got hired because of their race."
I never said that, I don't believe that. Now I could be wrong about my internet gut but I don't know cause you haven't really said what your issue is with what I said.

My interpretation:
Tomegun didn't want this thread to head on the down-ward spiral that usually occurs when race (like gender) is brought up in this forum.
Me, I believe race sometimes plays a subtle role in the decision-making process. (notice I'm not saying in favor or against any particular race; and notice I said "sometimes") But everyone has their own perceptions and no one's mind is going to be changed arguing back-and-forth in this forum. The history of locked threads will prove me right on that point.
BTW, Jamie Luckie is White...but he has many Black friends.
