Please settle this debate. A friend say's there are none, I say there has to be some white running backs in the NFL

There is a fullback named Karney who plays for the Saints. And he's pretty damn good! Look at what he did to the Cowboys last night! There aren't very many white running backs. But there are alot of white wide outs and defensive players. But most white folks play Linebacker, Quarterback, reiciever, and alot are found on the offensive and defensive lines.

In the NFL there are 2 running backs classifications, a halfback (or tailback) and a Fullback.
so techinically there are white running backs (like Mike Alstott) they just dont run the ball often, they block. In fact alot of Fullbacks are white
now if your friend clarifys and says are their any white halfbacks (or tailback) then i don't think there are any.

nope no starting white "Running Backs" which generally refer to halfbacks or tailbacks, quite a few fullbacks though. and no there are no starting cbs but there are plenty of safteies such as todd johnson of the bears, and one of the leagues best, John Lynch of the Broncos, formerly of the Bucs

Alstott is white, and last I checked, he is a starter.
