Recent stories concerning PacMan Jones and other NFL players demonstrate a surprising degree of racism.
I am not saying the players did not commit any crimes, but as mentioned previously, NFL players would have to commit many more to rank dead even with the general population.
What seems to be at work is a backlash against the Black Athelete. Their success makes them popular targets of ire & envy amongst the general.
"They must be punished" we read and yet most of them (over 99%) are law abiding citizens.
At its root is that successful African-Americans are viewed as threatening and worse yet as undeserving of what they get.
