The whole hunt for a decent black QB (I like to call it "Caste Search", not hosted by Ed MacMahon) is similar to the way schools troll their rosters to find black children to enter into spelling bees so that they can live out the fictionalized "Akeelah and the Bee" Hollywood crap, though the usual pattern of reality ends up being that the Urkels are snipered out really quickly by the nearest white, asian, or Indian nerd kid.
The difference between "Akeelah and the Bee" and other magical black movies (such as the idiotic "Pride", "Remember the Titans", etc.) compared to "Rocky", which was also accused of being white wishful thinking, is that there actually are white boxing champions where as a black spelling bee champion would be a fluke at best and an affirmative action fraud at worst.
That won't stop the minorities (or are they majorities now?) or the wheegroes from living in an alternate reality where the heavyweight champ is a white man only keeping the throne warm until the black boxer who was prevented from a title fight because of racism can take over.
The television can tell us over and over again that a black QB is better -- doesn't mean it's true.
Sad part is, many DWFs aren't interested in truth. Just texting on their Blackberries while driving their wussy little leased luxury cars with a tacky Obama bumper sticker, charging things they can't afford on their credit cards, going bankrupt, and wondering why our economy and country are going to pot.
