A debate is raging on social media over Patrick Mahomes, left, and Jalen Hurts — the first biracial and Black quarterbacks to face off in the Super Bowl.
The NFL claims Super Bowl 57 will be one for the history books since both quarterbacks are Black.
Patrick Mahomes is not Black, he’s biracial. Therefore, Super Bowl 57 is not the first to feature 2 opposing Black quarterbacks.
This is getting tiresome. Patrick has one white parent and one Black parent. Therefore, he is biracial.
NFL legend Doug Williams is the first fully Black quarterback to start and win a Super Bowl. But even he is caught up in the hysteria.
“I’ve got such a smile on my face right now, but I’ve got water in my eyes, too,” he said. “There are two Black quarterbacks in the Super Bowl. Either way, I can’t lose.”
If black people don't want to claim nor take pride in a man with a white mama, white wife, and white offspring, then so be it.
It's 2023, we don't have to follow an 1800's slave master's one drop rule anymore.

Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes have a first. It’s the first Black Man vs Biracial Black Man in Superbowl history. Ya’ll take notice, they never spoke of Mahomes skin tone in his first SB. Now the capitalist and media doing that dumb sh*t.

First off isn't Mahomes biracial which would mean he's not fully black? Second who gives a crap what race they are? NFL is sounding a lot like liberal politicians who gets excited about having the first (insert your choice of race or sexuality).

Patrick Mahomes is biracial. His mother is WHITE. It is racist and disrespectful to deny his ethnic heritage for the sake of a cheap headline. Apologize.

One Black and Biracial. Why are y’all erasing Mahomes white side? Black and white is biracial, not Black. ODN – The NFL said we’re no longer a racist league because “two Black” QBs are going to the Super Bowl ?
