Part 2/7:
The speaker emphasizes that the notion that Black people can lead effectively and are intelligent enough to do so is no longer in dispute. "We know that Black quarterbacks can lead teams and are smart enough," they assert, intentionally pointing out that such notions have often been dismissed or overlooked due to biased perceptions. The acknowledgment that these stereotypes are outdated signifies progress, though the speaker also notes that society may take time to fully accept this reality. The phrase "they were so far ahead of us" humorously alludes to the delayed recognition of Black capabilities, further illustrating how societal biases can obscure obvious truths.
