Our football coaches were not Marxists imposing integration with blacks.
Rather, they were objectivists imposing integration with blacks.
Consider “the great football coach”, Vince Lombardi, and his indignation with regard to “racism.”
Vince Lombardi was neither regular Marxist nor a “cultural Marxist.”
Vince Lombardi’s Unprejudiced nature
In 1960, on at least one team, a color barrier still existed in the NFL. But Jack Vainisi, the Scouting Director for the Packers, and Lombardi were determined “to ignore the prejudices then prevalent in most NFL front offices in their search for the most talented players.” Lombardi explained his views by saying that he “… viewed his players as neither black nor white, but Packer green”. Among professional football head coaches, Lombardi’s view on discrimination was not de rigueur in the midst of the American civil rights movement.
An interracial relationship between one of the Packer rookies and a young woman was brought to the attention of Lombardi by Packer veterans in his first training camp in Green Bay. The next day at training camp, Lombardi, who had a zero tolerance policy towards racism, responded by warning his team that if any player exhibited prejudice, in any manner, then that player would be thrown off the team. Lombardi, who was vehemently opposed to Jim Crow discrimination, let it be known to all Green Bay establishments that if they did not accommodate his black players equally as well as his white players, then that business would be off-limits to the entire team. Before the start of the 1960 season, he instituted a policy that the Packers would only lodge in places that accepted all of his players.

The same objectivist paradigm that flouts “equality” may insist on integration of “the best” on objective grounds.
Perhaps because I was never immersed in Marxist/Leftist literature, but rather was repulsed by radicals, their advocacy of non-Whites in particular, repulsed enough to be averse to embracing even their better critiques, I never saw “equality” as an issue one way or another.
But even though it may have had something to do with not circulating among Marxists or immersing in their literature, I never really heard many “leftists” or anybody, for that matter, talking about wanting “equality.”
It has been rightists who have been overusing opposition of this term, adopting this paradigm and its blueprint for disaster – setting matters into false comparison and necessary conflict/dominance-subordination, whereas our concern for separatism is to be negotiated* in qualitative terms of differences that make a difference (qualitative non-sameness, paradigmatic incommensurability as opposed to inequality).
*“Negotiation” more in the sense of ‘negotiating an obstacle’ than in trying to reason with people, though we will do that too where our interests are yet to be violated.
Coming back to “the point of the day”, objectivism and its most pointed corollary of turning issues into quantitative comparisons – equality/inequality – is what our football coaches were going by – not cultural Marxism – when they considered it unthinkable that blacks should be kept off the football team and eventually, that the cheerleaders should not cheer them on…and couple with them:

Runaway objectivism, its “rational” blindness flouting “equality,” is a load of race mixing poison that our right wing brings to the equation. This part of the blame derives disproportionately from a susceptibility of our ranks, not only or even mostly from Jews, though they have exploited it from the days of Christianity through the Enlightenment’s prejudice against prejudice, to “civil rights” and anti-racism.

What inspired this post was a realization that came about from a cursory glance at my high school football team’s history.
I might have supposed that Montclair Highschool’s “legendary coaches” Clary Anderson and Butch Fortunato…
…were merely rolling with the tides of civil rights and cultural Marxism. This was, after all, mere high school football. What precedence could it have over the Jewish media’s hallowed black sports figures who smashed open borders? Saint Jackie Robinson only entered into professional baseball in 1947. More broadly, Jewish Marxism’s gate opening legislation over public issues of so called “Civil Rights” (1964) and non-White immigration (1965) did not occur until a little after I was born – but on time to blame “the sixties” and consumers of rock music for opening the flood gates and unleashing a tidal wave of savage brown masses on Whites.
Those tough prior generations were from such innocent, straight shooting times, times of real men like Clary and Butch, who’d never take crap from blacks or marginal freaks.
Clary Anderson surely presided over pure White teams, his unbeaten Montclair aggregates (of 1946, ‘47) had integrity, unsullied by the fawning enlistment of fast twitching muscle fiber – Negroes who did not know their place was to twitch elsewhere.
Indeed, Buzz Aldrin, second man on the moon, was our center in 1946. That’s wholesome White American spirit and quest.
Buzz Aldrin, Montclair class of ‘47, Apollo 11, first moon landing, second man on moon.
But of 11 starters integral to the Montclair football team in that fall of 1946 campaign there were already four or five blacks – looking every bit as confident and menacing among them as the blacks on our class of ‘79 squad – by when the team was half black.
So what is going on here? I thought all the problems started with me?
I looked back to the teams of the very early 60’s, just before I was born and they already had a large percentage of the supremely confident ones. Even going into the 50’s…
On Clary’s early 50’s (viz., ‘50 – ‘52) squads there was “the great” Aubrey Lewis, named in 1999, “New Jersey’s offensive player of the century” by the Newark Star Ledger (in addition, he went on to be one of the first blacks recruited into the F.B.I.).
My eyes glazing-over when I heard coaches and others describe him as “great.” (I’ll skip the tawdry story of his son who had “dated” my friend’s first girlfriend prior to him).
… into the 40’s, as we’d mention with Aldrin’s class, but other classes from the 40’s as well…well into the 30’s, in 1930 in fact, there were blacks on the team. You pretty much have to go back to the 1920’s, when Clary himself was playing, to see consistently all-White teams (though even on the ‘28 and ‘29 teams there were one or two).
This is an important realization among other reasons, because the generations which set these changes in motion had a better sense of why this was happening. Again, it was not Marxism in any direct way that influenced who Clary Anderson took onto the team. Subsequent generations were simply overwhelmed.
…and Montclair is a mostly middle class White town, with some extremely affluent neighborhoods, featuring lavish estates:
Harrowing black throngs from adjacent East Orange and Newark seep into Montclair’s mainstream..have been, well before the 1960’s and Frankfurt school hegemony.
In a word, the cooperative and anti-war sentiments of those Whites who grew up in the sixties are too heavily blamed in WN discussions. The pugnaciousness and win-at-any-cost objectivism of prior White generations deserve far more blame than they get.
…
Caveat: Although Vince Lombardi was not a Marxist, his objectivist purity spiral was at least partly backed by his strong Christian convictions; i.e. the Jewish influence to blend away Gentile capacity for relative group organization and resistance to subjugation is still there.
