I don't believe that the linesman get a phone call. However, I do believe that minus the effects of white supremacy and systemic oppression of black and brown folks that nations like ours will be doing better in all areas including football.
Think about it. If it was known that the patriarchs of the bible where black people including Jesus himself, Samson-Dreadlocks, Moses, Daniel, The Prophets. What if we were fully aware that the ancient civilizations were lead by people in your skin? - The Pyramids, sailors, inventors all black people. What if that heritage was in front of you from the time your eyes open. You think we'll be fighting up with Mexico and USA. Many of us will understand the struggle of your own parents. What if those truths were in front of them from the start of their life?
Instead we are told to thank Christopher Columbus.
Everyday black and brown folks have to go out and prove themselves. That pressure alone for many is the difference between huge success, small success or failure. We all know this, something is always driving us. Trying to do better than pops, making sure mom is ok, trying to be the first in the family, leave something for the kids, I can go on and on. We're all searching from some longevity, some heritage, a map that defines and destines us. Regular white folks don't think about that stuff.
So when you see them young fellas 21, 18, 23 put on them colors and acting like their head ain't screw on straight have empathy, fighting the matrix is no light matter.
But it can be done, as the West Indies we did it in cricket I believe we can do it in football. The conspiracy has always been at work. It just flesh out in worst ways than offside.
