doesn’t make him a racist now any more than it did then, though it begs the question. He tells us he was simply curious. And that’s supposed to explain why he bounded up the steps and around the Black students trying to enter North Little Rock High before they were denied by a blockade of white male students. The photo ran on the cover ofin the fall of ‘57. Only days before he turned 15, Jerry had already made the big time.

Eleven years ago, nine Black head coaches worked league sidelines. In 2018, there were six. Now it’s three. Even though Black players make up nearly 60% of NFL rosters, 13 franchises haveOver 33 years owning the world’s most valuable sports franchise, he’s hired eight of its nine head coaches.

A difference? Are we to say things have been the same since 1964

I don’t care about the photo. I do care about no Super Bowl appearance by dallascowboys THIS CENTURY thanks to realjerryjones

Are you kidding? 65yrs ago? We have Marxists in government trying to make us communist country, begging terrorists for oil when just a couple yrs ago we were energy independent, inflation sky high due to idiotic policies & printing $, and you’re showing your DemRacism?

Please! Everyone seems to think the photograph is so damning. What I see is a 14-year-old kid curious about what’s going on. He doesn’t seem to be involved in preventing these individuals from entering the school. Give it up DMN - it’s a nothing burger.
