In the article “Keepin’ It Real,” the author discusses the concept of maintaining authenticity and fairness in the pursuit of racial equality. The author points out the contradiction in trying to achieve equality by practicing and demanding inequality based on race.
The article questions the likelihood of a known anti-black racist being hired as the head football coach at an American university with a large student population. The author argues that in today’s society, even if the individual had a successful career in the NFL and apologized for their racist views, they would still face consequences and be ostracized.
However, the article poses a different scenario – what if the individual had openly expressed hatred towards Jews and expressed admiration for Adolf Hitler? Would they still be considered for the head coaching position at the university? The author suggests that there would be a different reaction due to the sensitivity and severity of anti-Semitic views.
In conclusion, the article emphasizes the importance of consistency in addressing racial inequality and holding individuals accountable for their beliefs and actions. By promoting fairness and authenticity, true progress towards racial equality can be achieved.
