The intent was not to obscure the statement. I thought it was abundantly clear what I meant, and I just wanted to be a little more creative (as opposed to being "weaselly." If I wanted to weasel, I'd weasel).
And I'll refer any racists to Rhett Butler's parting words to Scarlett (how's that for "weasel wording?").
I reject all these stupid racist narratives. That means I don't think all minorities have to work twice as hard to succeed as majorities just as I don't think the only reason minorities succeed is due to affirmative action. I reject the idea that "brown bodies need brown coaches" just as I reject the idea that "white bodies need to be coached by white coaches." If that touches any sore spots among anyone, I refer them to the aforementioned Rhett Butler remark.
The LSU vs. Iowa race-baiting last season as "White America's team" vs. "Black America's team" just demonstrated that a lot of people of ALL skin tones can't get past the surface.
