Warren Moon, Randall Cunningham...anyway, there were "no successful black quarterbacks" because the pipeline of such players simply did not exist, for reasons outside the NFL's control. It's not like you had guys who were ready and able to play the position who just couldn't get jobs. The claim being made here is that you have talented people who would be able to succeed, if only Paul Graham would stop being a racist and give them money.

As far as I know this all started with a valleywag article a couple days ago, that somehow turned (paraphrased) "Something we've noticed after funding 500+ startups is that people with difficult-to-understand accents have trouble raising money and recruiting cofounders/employees" into "Paul Graham is a racist xenophobe who hates immigrants, pregnant women, and probably non-white people too."
