He left coachin g because he was asked by white owned media if he felt he was worthy to be a coach\, after just winning the NBA championship as a coach\, so he comp rehended that no matter what he did\, media would act like he still hasn't earned or still hasn't warranted\, so he left.\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n Bill Russ ell's spirit flew as well\, the most honest Black basketball in media ever \n\n\n\n on coaching LINK\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n on Black Youth LIN K\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n I PAraphrase Bill russell\, use the link above to ver ify or read the whole below \"You have guys who have been pampered for 10- 15 years. So you can't say this is an example. Or this is an average guy. Most athletes\, my self included\, are self centered. Maybe psychologicall y that is why we plays sports\, but it is not normal. ... If i  am going to go into Harlem\, and go to a play ground and say to kids\, if you work hard you can do the same thing I did\, that would be a lie. That would be unfair to myself and unfair to the kids. I can say to the kids\, do your b est and fight it everyday. But to say I am an example of the greatness of the country\, that is not true. If I am going to be honest to myself\, I a m an exception and have treated as an exception for years and years. The p roblem is I am only treated as an exception in certain areas. \"\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n FULL TRANSCRIPT \, UNCHECKED\, for Black Youth link below\n\n\n \n [BEEP] [SILENCE] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] pound the subways of New York City for an investigation into the Transit Authority Workers Union.

and the memory absolutely right all over the cou ntry black workers are coming\ntogether to challenge racism which has prev ented us from getting our fair share of job opportunities in america the r ecord is clear a star was cracked unions have excluded blacks the federal government has enforced anti discrimination laws state and local doctor sa ys often condone discrimination the struggle goes on across the country in the private as well as the public sector concentrating in the constructio n automobiles stealing calling industries and in all public employment con struction has been hardest hit by black protest statistics show black work ers will only two percent of the eight hundred thousand high paying skille d jobs in this industry blacks already and many major unions have former b lack caucus as to demand that these unions relate to the needs and aspirat ions of black workers they want a real voice in union policy making or bla ck workers are in the majority they're insisting on control of the unions for instance the new york citi bikes and puerto ricans make up the majorit y of workers in the rapid transit system for the\nareas controlled by whit es a group called the rank and file committee for democratic union is dete rmined to change that they're struggling to overthrow part why controlled te wu and set up their own union which were fairly represent black and pue rto rican workers he's with these were a tuna i mean while committees obje ctive is to establish electorate and they need to do this they must first obtained signatures from thirty percent of transit workers and call for a state supervised election for twenty eight thousand transit workers but dz hokhar the president the right to file committee explains why his\ngroup's exchange disney thank you it is i'm sorry they're appealing to both black and white workers for the signature is\nmaintaining that an undemocratic union betrays the objectives of all we're just amazed that almost seventy percent of transit workers are black and puerto rican leadership are still seventy five percent white union leaders they say are elected by mail bal lots were actually colored by union officials ever have a real chance beca use the mental illness a mail ballot well after negotiations are concluded and activist the result of any potential strike threat this sort of the u nion doesn't really live in a region where church and that some supervisor s discriminate but they face a difficult fight it is hard for them to reac h large numbers of workers because at this time the organization is small they have the outsiders like the resources at vanguard and they are challe nging a rich and powerful union\nthat's a nice day i found out that they w ere so vulnerable on this question because of the fact that they didn't ha ve an integral couple says they only had about two offices to executive bo ard offices out of about thirty two quote fallout for vice president of th e union that these people don't represent the blog where does that industr y is the people that do exactly what they're going to with roosevelt once executive vice president of the transport workers union and has one of the common the dissident this land has tried to run for office in his unit\nl ast word is about ten years ago he ran for such an officer with hal conduc tors <\;unk>\; level and there he was recruited he was defeated day ou t of about three thousand volts i'm thinking a hundred and fifty it was th e last night i can file charges that is controlled and says joel carnegie has no support among the westerns two years later he was successful enough to get the required amount of signatures and he ran for the president of local one hundred and how about nineteen thousand ballots cast got about t wo thousand that's right it is we tried to run an opposition\nslaves withi n the union vote against the top offices and once they do that they just d on't have a chance because they counted from the workers' wages it's it us es the undemocratic bilbao is also used in ratifying contracts about other s on rather than there's no conference and so what happens is that they ha ve made that when the union in advance of montana's that shoved down our t hroat so yes so that's one of the reasons why we thought that it was neces sary to go through the necessary steps getting a thirty percent of aig can 't or representational action to decide who will be to solve our\ntransit workers delaney simmons they're forbidden by chance of a forty regulations to solicit signatures on to a property and were previously arrested at th is location they assert that they have no real access to great numbers of workers unless they reach them on the job why are you\nare you it's been n ice being nice sneakers the rest of us\nproperty what the lender while the group was constantly faced with an apparent double standard in the slow p ace at the league doesn't organize on to a property and they demand the sa me rights and then in a transit authority assignment room supposedly off l imits for union organization works it wu literature as plainly and evidenc e it's been\ncarnegie's group no absolute freedom of all the truth about a property there's only one is that record and that was with a transit poli ceman in that would address what they do yeah i'm seventy disciplinary pro cedures call your record mr\ndr william roman chairman metropolitan transi t authority a transit authority workers other refused to appear for an int erview to discuss the rank and file charges are your members these other t op aid officers or transport workers local one hundred and one point and f ile contends that mr watts was appointed as a direct result of their earli er efforts for more like representations to members of the joint executive authority wu the policymaking and yolk it addresses a regular monday nigh t organizers me\nevery month and they are passing you know what this means is that signature is that we can get a representation of much of the unio n representation election to decide who are the vessel at ws thank\nyou it is yeah the country\nwhat workers are clearly saying unions must institut e democratic reform or face stiff challenges from an increasingly militant white labor movement you did thank you\nnice you are\njenny the a good ca mp the nigerian civil war is over like americans look to niger to fulfill its great promise as a major african nation of a law that sought to be tor n into by prejudice and subversion from within and hostile foreign pressur es from abroad should be a stern lesson to black people everywhere perhaps novel white americans were leftover naked starting the\nafricans on afric a's their concern was suffering people in their own country and lamont dem ocratic controlled southern part of africa has for us perhaps as we observ e the new unity among your laws the houses and he goes and the hundreds of other ethnic groups of nigerian afro americans will push to settle the re maining differences among us so we may have greater unity on our post game of nightmares over niger as african nation can resume the important after revealing so what will the seventies the whole clubb afro americans what have the past year meant to our struggle for freedom what effect will even ts of the sixties have on the present decade not charles hamilton professo r of political science at columbia university conference the year nineteen sixty nine was a reflection of the decade of the nineteen sixties in term s of action in the white community one might view events of the past year and project in the nineteen seventies in terms of three major categories t hursday black struggle as broadening its base of\nbut as a patient and beg inning to add new targets to its protests examples of this would include t hat the increased activity all welfare rights groups and blackstone organi zations like rise we saw the demand by blacks that the white churches bega n to put their money where some of their individual ears of that all the t ime on the line in the form of demands reparations to blacks for years of those churches but as a patient and then benefit from a ration system it w asn't fact is that the black male in america has worked from sixteen ninet een eighteen sixty five without due compensation for his labor the calcula tion and what in fact is the real figure for reparations as something amor e tundra comes may well and to take second the year witnessed a continued moon to consolidate local political economic power the demands for communi ty controlled schools community control of police and land continue\nevide nce a growing electoral power was shown in various elections around the co untry this year in fayette mississippi greene county alabama and in severa l northern cities this electoral organization kampala will continue and di rectly into the nineteen seventies with more blacks being elected office w here the numbers and the organizational skills come together and these wil l be black elected officials more responsive to their black constituencies where they too will feel a punishment of rejection and later elections be cause it's a it's quite unlikely that the intense struggle for political p ower will be ways to simply to be turned over to traditional a new forces and the shame a question only nineteen sixty nine was a very harsh reminde r of the repressive nature of the system in the form of continued killings of members of the black panthers no one should be naive to believe that w hen a group begins to move that the system will not retaliate in some form or another\nto counter this black struggle is constantly reminded that or ganization unity and scales very basic are absolutely essential nineteen s ixty nine was a year of continued little struggle for black survival and d evelopment it was a year that set the agenda in the nineteen seventies the increased involvement of more groups and lodging that goes to include muc h more concern for the acquisition of political and economic power in addi tion to a legal and constitutional rights and finally greater demands for a re allocation of national economic resources i\nthink the one area in th is country where we have demonstrated are excellent as the athletic freedo m however we check it out with greater than america knows that the black a thlete has also been the victim of volatility would like to apply brothers you know those were really thinking about the man who broke the color lin e in the country he went on a nineteen fifty two that the baseball hall of fame with a jackie robinson the voting affinities of how things like econ omic and political football in this country will russell the man who led t he boston celtics to attend world championships over the last twelve years in nineteen sixty eight he became the first black coach in the national b asketball association after winning the championship\nbill russell retired a member of the team would successfully defended the davis cup this past fall for the past four years he has been the only black player in the lily white world of big league pennants it had window that has on the country we would even be considered for membership offer called the movie and i th ought the invitation from the nineteen thirty one davis cup competition is left one about the defensive captain of the nineties sixty eight world ch ampion new york jets he led the team that year in and that it had boosted of the entire nineteen fifty nine feet and with a serious back injury a ve teran of ten years and will continue to be one of the more hopeful than li ke minimal i am with organized over the vatican out the stark black voters about the nineteen fifty eight geology i think the black athlete has had a very\nlarge role to play in the soul of the spirit of the black communit y because it was a television out of sports as part of a bird those messag es the mass media in this is it there's a lot of criticism from people who are great deal criticism these days the luckiest the mass media the news reporting etcetera but i think that the sports industry in and of itself h as agreed to a responsibility the degree to which sports in fact has not b rought people together in this is that it's because they haven't told the truth that would tend to under manned some of the established\ninstitution alized racism discrimination the prejudice that exist between people in a society they've tended to do the business that in fact what you see on the field is a hug ma actress topic yeah all portrait of reality in the masse s that in that there's this is to the system consideration this is because apart from the time they were semi is no liberal as electric cars and the y are getting a rueful there nobody really cares what they think in florid a none of that civil defense and so you can say that this is\nan example o r this is beverage that causes that causes most deadly summer in lots of l iquid social reason may be psychosomatic me with a sport maybe i will comf ort so it doesn't driving force to make it a sport that is not know i woul d have not been to but the people that have these are your restaurant a su ccessful landing in any field i think that i worked as hard and have him a s much larger monthly at the rich where did as citizens are motivated and that is a hub for me was ever going to say that we're going to hunt angle and going to one of the kids in this review of it was i learned and if you 're like me and only unfair to my stomach as a kid but my city kids do\nth is and find every day were to say that madame example of the reasons of th e country that's not true because i have a feeling i'm an exception the pr oblem that we have is that certain areas and what about that there hasn't been any significant advancement of developments that i think that we have to understand about the so progress on call that we've made is that must decide then the weekend cuban gates bill russell in basketball that nothin g gets that bill russell and wilt when the courts are the same things happ ened in\nany case you know would be acceptable but we still have to be use d to have opposed the knob down the little barefoot tokenism it just all p ractical purposes we do not have any blacklisted and professional athletic s all practical purposes not have anything that we're like you can go on t o professional athletics and then do a good job and say well i can afford to be a manager our coach with cummings is that i get this question on ser ving back in contention in air that they say no tears remember do you mean and i'd like a comparison team sports was an effect in the small corporat ions they're still run for\nstockholders want to make money not make money some items so enfranchise someone who thinks he can make money that exten t the universal baseball to ready for hillary clinton is just like another small quarters president and vice presidents hierarchy of administrative work it is no different than a regime where that they may have some of the same religious attitudes about hiring lots of this alert level and as har ris in tokenism may be construed as progress business in fact my biggest s ingle reason that has it and the super bowl last year which isn't only bec ause of advertising for one minute was about a hundred and eighty thousand dollars but some of that is ever been paid for what does the big athletic says\nleave the nineteen twenty four years nineteen sixty nine as it is n ow a blog emilie most of this year the three star wars not an obama suppor ter roy the plentiful beardsley joins us and we was you know what does dra w on as you go up the ladder no you have to work and strive to work that y ou have to salute the work where you have the courtyard and continued inst ructions allegedly negative official of this level football baseball does or whatever it may be you see things happening around the white athletes g et sort of a it's really one of the contracting it's white dough manager a t thirty and once there is a white marble animal bible belt loads more the y also may be the place it used to happen in the spotlight at this isn't a zone of the white mountains and it's a job making fifteen twenty thousand miles and all season when the black ballplayers among the job than a hund red dollars a week these are the things that this one in which the\nlack o f legal they had been a professional football which i'm connecting with us what managers and coaches roaming the headquarters and of these things ov er the urban activist susan minister of britain and to know where on the j ob one of the assistant coaches for five years beginning to alex way that was consistent with the two years as you've been explaining their counselo r about football that will allow these things are going to kill you now i mean is it is there anything that the black athletes can do about this or that the plans can too bothersome into changes to some of them demonstrato rs in nineteen sixty seven we get more movement in athletics away from the status quo than at any other time or a lot of the car that beat against t he bad people in amateur athletics in particular\nthe whole movement aroun d to litigate dhabi black athletes instead of that when i want to go to li tigate because we did not feel that this country is getting off a just gre at as human beings that we have the last word of the skills we have to dem onstrate that they are not the taliban well a pick atlanta little to stop an average of the people of all that i am and actually this is what i know this is my work i use this as a tool without and you have a tool to make a living and i can say they used their the two in order to lead and it jus t about my humanity not to demonstrate my humanity i don't think about it and now we can really where we reached a point where because there's no ac tually preceded us and i think that if the kids today don't worry it's not a matter of probability\nit causes like it's now know i think his answers are where the investors who at this emerging was the word of the world we ll it's natural quite proud of the fact that the guys are standing up and being counted i don't i wish we had done the very same thing and we were i 'm playing ball glitz that up i got scarcely at the onset they have a kind of troubles that they're having a day i think it is this present generati on doesn't stand up and even more that once their kids are growing up play ing out the same kind of promise all it builds these kids to stand up and hillary can they possibly can but there's one thing that concerns me and i wonder what the feeling is here ah honey feel about the situation where t he south africans come here and the late gary player like i think it is sa fe to me to think that there'll be a song connelly says we were we've atte mpted to to contact a member of some of the summer golfers have had\ndiffi culty getting in touch with him in the land that we have got in touch with you know where's your identity cooperation very much effort led them at a landfill in boston atlanta ga ga players themselves ayatollah once if ass ad can expect the golfers to join in and i think we need sportswriters dou g o'neill of the games business and such organization of the formalities t hat in the whole thing at this critical part of the simple fact that the f ilms what the protests live eventually leads back to me in one way or anot her scene to haul the whole thing that we are developing a vision to open up on the ground that at around that this was coming for an athletic feder ation\nthat i think will take up a lot of slack that the number of us have been trying to hold down since as for the state wichita which is so what does he have that goes back to some point where you have to take the state you have to believe in something you have to have a principal and you hav e to stand up for it no matter what happens on the water pages damages the m but one thing i think people watching the meantime the oven and look for a future is that that growing militancy among athletes is not gonna stop what it is is that is gaining momentum take a stand instead of getting bet ter things are gonna get worse then as i said before a professional and th ings are themselves corporations they are products of the american ideal t hat\nidea of sometimes twice that wasn't i was too has a half homeowners i t is it is full of all the good and the bad as is it shows and instead of getting better it's going to get worse in years to more demonstrations tha t we see more oil manifest those one where another and to see more athlete s even a ritual there were guys in their professional chess is saying whoa whoa that thing where the skiing on this this cause because of sorts thou gh and i just said that and it's not that way headlines like the news conf erences in the days when the case started moving his face in one place or another it became the best reason that and for five years the demonstratio ns are so commonplace there on page fifty and they had lines in english we must hurt a new tactic to gain the attention of the\npublic say i think i don't think there's any question that the decade the seventies in particu lar are going to be about the turbulent six instances were turbulent and t urbulent without any particular program they were turbulent and as a drama to dramatizing affect your turban dramatic sense i think of the seventies a lot of the turbulent in a diabolical sons of people are going to sit do wn and what a match up of the management operational levels programs and w hat has happened i've attended these allies that they're not going to have time to really portion for them develop a program for middle class that t he progress is allowed to sit down and look at the society and i want to b egin to take a pot of those links of injustice and an impression but then there are those kinds of the last twenty years ago those things that one b y one\ni think that athletics is that there's going to be as much carbon i s as if they were going to have some blind man's of the committee said tha t that was not the architect of a baseball game or a basketball that was j ust coming at the person huckabee and finance and this is the republicans and i think this is a parcel of the way we are the robert shelton says thi s country who come out of prison because of a refusal to make estimates th at complex plan and then they go and testify that they're going to drive t o suppress the negro in this country now we don't hear anything coming fro m the attorney general's office about this candidate it but to let the har ry edwards a word an organizer was like the banana scene country comes up to me and not a word of this except a small thing in the newspaper about r obert shelton sets if you'd like to make a bomb on a concern about robert so how i really\nfound that the robert shelton you can spot a mile of his cancelled toyota designers is the one i think that what we have to really be concerned about look i think that often has alluded to the constitution al relationships that have been perpetuated his conjugal the last fifty or sixty years since the seminal this week that have become entrenched along that landscape the middle out and respectable as going to church on sunda y let me ask you this well i want to find out and on this track set up in life nothing i have never been so proud of individuals of tommy smith and john carlos olympic games i think this to me was the greatest demonstratio n of a personal conviction and private eye that i've really seen it and th en the tissue has guy standing up there sander well as i saw it i'm proud i can't live like this has kind of a sudden you see a guy running around t he ring wave of the flag and you get sick inside\nwas awful a wave of laug hter but what concerns me now is the what i see is a very concerted effort to trial against these guys and i thought that brought a great deal digni ty and self respect to the black community are you really here casale abou t what's happened tom has suddenly and what these guys who have really mad e black people tremendously proud not only overcome if what happened harry can that's how us live now is for ball for cincinnati bengals i asked lee evans isn't school and in those tunnels a john carlson school themselves a more severe mark whitaker the arctic has been an athletic simple vessel amateur there's no question that had thomas lipton's on cars that the amer ican flag a man ran around here with that you know they have a vivid that they committed right on to\nheart this is not the case that either been ce rtain rules about communities in and around cincinnati to do everything fr om to with ten times about your contract is get the hell out of us has no authority to us led of the intimidation against his wife and families don' t think i have the same thing is happening with earlier the house and all these athletes have come out of the problem i think that we have a respons ible people such as jackie robinson thousands who has listened to have eco nomic ties as political task but some point that people who are in positio ns to give these people some insulation should begin to get them set up in business together and tied into our positions where they can be assured o f a lab right now the spot where they can be visible we could set these pe ople out there are people like thomas within our citizens individuals say look like he backed the back is that the smugglers the\nfifth beatle and t hat will cause porn again of the establishment in this country status quo as you know showed the neighbors that you know confront the white man woul d've done politically socially them away and the windup and if you think o f the osprey have a lot of all of the number ones that can help them and e nsure that they're in this position at apple the people in the press\nbox fb i know i know you know i
