Another "diversity" shakedown

This wasn't supposed to happen here

[Reprinted from Issues & Views January 13, 2003]

In "The NFL Caves In," FrontPage magazine (1/10/03), Ward Connerly, of the American Civil Rights Institute, decries yet another victory for the multicultural demagogues. Thanks to the efforts of a race cartel, led by lawyer Johnnie Cochran, officials of the National Football League have come just short of promising to hire their front-office personnel and head coaches on the basis of race. Writes Connerly:

And if the teams don't toe the line, Cochran and company have threatened to sue them and the NFL, a fate that cost Coca Cola and Texaco hundreds of millions of dollars in settlement fees. The threatened lawsuit is Cochran's stick; his carrot is a proposal to award any NFL team that hires more black coaches extra draft choices, and, in turn, withhold draft picks from teams not willing to play along. . . .

Cochran and his fellow-knee breaker, attorney Cyrus Mehri, decided last fall to publicly call on the NFL to hire and fire coaches and team executives by race. This recent complaint is another in a long line of demands for racial proportionality in every facet of American life by "civil rights" groups. "The NFL is really a metaphor for what's happening in corporate America," said Mehri, who has a dozen high-profile corporate scalps on his belt from earlier employment lawsuits. . . .

I guess it is no surprise that [NFL Commissioner] Tagliabue caved in and formed an NFL "diversity" committee to look into Cochran's allegations. Every other corporate CEO from Seattle to Miami has done something similar under threat of being mau-maued by one of a handful of competing race-shakedown Mafiosi.
