Charles Haley spoke recently with the San Jose Mercury-News and told them about some advice he had given to a batch of 49ers rookies. It was unconventional.

“I know they probably got mad, but I said, ‘Why don’t you all act like the white guys? You never see them in the paper getting high or hitting people. Why don’t you act like that?’ They all looked at me crazy.”

Haley made clear that he was trying to shock the 49ers rookies, with his statement.

The Mercury-News brought up the good point, though, that 49ers fullback Bruce Miller, who is white, had just been charged a few days earlier with misdemeanor vandalism after he threw his wife’s phone during an argument. Miller later pled down to disturbing the peace.

So, yeah. Haley wants the 49ers rookies to act like the white guys, except the ones who get arrested. Don’t act like those white guys. Act like the other white guys, the ones who don’t get in trouble. Probably.
