When Amos Moses posted Hester was an employment equity hire, I immediately thought about a recent tweet from Dr. Bernice King –
--Even the statement, “Let’s invite more Black people to the table,” implies ownership of the table and control of who is invited.
Racism is about power.--
I don't believe for one second Tech hired a minority (I hate that word) candidate over a more qualified non-minority candidate, but I'm also not naive enough to believe Tech wasn't happy it was able to hire a highly qualified minority candidate it believed is capable of bringing championship basketball to Tech. It remains to be seen what the results will be, but I think it is too early to judge Hester's hire as being a bad one.
