NFL : The Las Vegas Raiders made the NFL’s latest historic hire
Posted by theone on 4/16/2023, 2:18 am
Sandra Douglass Morgan, the first Black woman to be named president of an NFL team. Her selection back in July 2022 was historic, Kris and I did not hear about it as it marks the first time that a Black woman has been hired as president in NFL history.
Good lawwd!! Kris said he was expecting her to become Mayor of Tuscaloosa town in Alabama,.. he just couldn't breathe when she became a president in the NFL,.. plus her husband, Mr G, is Black too. LOL
"A force to be reckoned with," the article says. Good to see a new generation of young Black leaders coming to the forefront relatively unencumbered.

Georgian Guys: "What up, bro.," doesn't fit the current framing, though.
Now, the GM and Maestro skin-color issue comes to mind. I'm noticing some light skinned Blacks marrying whites and the children often wind-up a nebulous description where they can live life as a Black or white.
The Georgian's in Eastern Europe are still called Black by the Russians. And they're called the Russian version of the N Word when they migrate to Russia.
The other day in a class, a mixed kid who fits the nebulous description yelled out the N word in class (he simply wanted me to know he was Black). I went over and started talking with him and his group and showed them Les Lester's Chronicle and began my spiel, while he and a couple of other kids mentioned that he was Black. So I said, yep, you could pass for Mexican, though, and guided them to the video on LLC that shows the [Melanesian] advent to the Americas via Easter Island, near Peru.
The color issue is really sad because whites want to get sun tans, so they can get some color--but they culturally try to suppress Blacks and use color as an identifying mar.
Now, I was at a meeting several months ago, and a light-skinned Black woman, who fit a kind of unique description rendered herself to the audience as white, but unfortunately she was unquestionably in appearance a more Black phenotype, which the entire world (audience) could see. It let me realize that this colorism is more insideous than folks realize.
Soledad O'Brien, the TV host, is a prime example of how the current transition in colorism is, indeed, impacting individuals. Soledad began her TV career as simply a spanish-looking girl, and no one was the wiser.
But as the Afrocentric and Black pride movement gained ground she decided to identify as Black. It was the calculated hip thing to do, from her perspective. But TV executives didn't seem to like her sudden public identification as Black, and her career went from being a Hoda Kotb-type (morning show) personality, to one on the outs. Soledad now runs her own production company, but she's very middle-of-the-road in what she produces. Hoda is married to a white guy, like Soladad is; she celebrates her Egyptian heritage, and is noticeably Black, but eschews an embrace of her Blackness. In fact, Blacks in the pre-civil rights era who looked like Hoda often passed for something else. Anything else, but Black -- so sad.
Meanwhile, the U.S. media is keen not to discuss such issues, especially the Kamala Harris/India connection -- at least not in a way that would spin the people of India into the Black consciousness orbit.
Of course, Herodotus said the folks surrounding the Black Sea, the Cochians, were Black. And of course those hats they wear today, indicate they're proud of their heritage. The Black orbit framing doesn't play well for the status quo mass media, though, so most people are oblivious to the issue.

Except today these folks are too white to pass for Black. They're not even Mulattoes or Brown or something. Anyway, I bet you the ppl of Georgia today had themselves forgotten that they were Black, and when/if they see African immigrants walking around in Georgia they would call them names or physically attack them. Best example is the British,.. although the first Brits were Black later on in life the White descendants of the original Black Briton moved to the west coast of Africa kidnapped the Blacks there and sold them all over the new world. Not to mention how many they've murdered. Les, I think we should forgive the Whites about slavery and stop talking about reparations simply because like the Georgians, they are all descendants of Blacks, hahaha??? We should especially forgive the "Georgians" because they are still called Blacks by the Russians to this day. LOL!!

Les, I agree with you.. And i'd like to get back to how insidious 'colorism' has become and how others who are not authentically Black are appropriating our identity to further all kinds of agendas, including for economic advantage.
Re: NFL : The Las Vegas Raiders made the NFL’s latest historic hire
But didn't we read about Sandra Morgan here on LLC when it happened?.. Sometimes I think Mr TheOne is over-inhaling some hard 'Khat', which sometimes leaves his brain a little scrambled.
Signed: just saying.......anonymous
Again G, you're mixing up everything and you're quick to forget,.. hahahaha
Sandra Morgan was never posted on LLC, Mr G. You are confusing her with Kelsey Koelzer(photo below) whom I've posted on LLC a couple years ago as the first Black female head coach in NCAA hockey. Hockey and NFL are two different things , Sir. LOL
You have to apologize NOW before I squeeze your dammn neck.
