After seeing this, I don't see how black players choose to go to schools like Alabama

[BelowTheMasonDixon]

I heard a coach on NFL radio say that once upon a time, the majority of the nation's most talented black players attended HBCUS. So HCBUs, rather than racist redneck schools like Alabama, were once the most fertile breeding grounds for NFL talent. At base, the reason schools like Alabama have flourished is because they have legions of scummy wealthy white boosters willing to consume their TV production. HBCUs meanwhile do not. Blacks unfortunately have no such base, in part because of our comparatively tiny population. We can hardly keep HBCUs functioning let alone attract the commercialism needed to fund scholarships and attract talent.

That said, HBCUs represent black equity, history and excellence. Southern redneck schools are bastions of shame, slavery and self interest. It would be a net positive if black athletes attended HBCUs, period. Recruits might even learn something about themselves in the process.

When were stars primarily drafted coming from HBCU's. Show me that list?

i can understand football.

but its crazy how all these AAU basketball dudes is buddy-buddy and aint none of em thinking about teaming up and going to an hbcu. go to morgan st or somewhere good like that. they still got Jason kidd's coach from cali right?

southern & Norfolk st been getting their chit off. whats their recruits looking like? it doesn't make sense for the absolute worst conferences in D-1 basketball to both be the hbcu conferences. especially when they get more airtime than half of the other conferences.

then we can talk football after the domino effect kicks in.

Wow you dudes really don't have any reading comprehension at all. I'm not saying at this point they have better options. Jesus christ. I'm not saying HBCU are a better option. I said it would be more beneficial for black people if they could have institutions that had as much money and were run as well as Alabama, without all racist white people benefiting from these black kids. What don't you idiots get? I understand the current situation and am only suggesting that this is something people, specifically black people should consider seriously?

Also they wouldn't be dumb ass athletes if we helped them learn more then football while they were at university as well. I understand the problem isn't easily fixed but its something we should take more time to concern ourselves with as a society. @BelowTheMasonDixon

i dont understand why them nyggas dont play ball out in California....... bad bytches, beaches, and diversity

 

[The ADD]

Y'all are asking something of todays black college athletes that they nor their parents can likely comprehend.

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

or are you going to say fukk that... i'm going to support an HBCU that will never get you any shine.. or wins.. has shytty field, stadium, equipment, coaches, etcc etc... most likely will never be on tv unless they getting stomped by alabama, and only has 10 players in the nfl???

espnu has aired south Carolina state games AT LEAST 4 times this year already.

if youre not playing division 1 football, i don't see the point in not going to an hbcu unless you want to stay close to home.

theres no excuse for hbcus to be bottom of the barrel in these other college leagues.

And people in hell want ice cream. The Brass in power at these schools don't give a fukk about the students either. Not with all the financial corruption that goes on at the top of many of these institutions. Which why a lot of them are having problems. Yall don't understand Black people don't inherently give a fukk about black people. They care about money. Difference is you can rob Bama blind. And not make a dent. You rob Arkansas Pine Bluff blind and you can bet damn sure that the entire school will feel it.

And cmon dude, plenty of athletes attending HBCU's are complete dumb asses. And the only thing they go to school for is WAIT FOR IT......ATHLETICS.

And while you keep talking about Whites getting benefits from these athletes. Keep in mind A shyt load of blacks attend these universities as well. So they too benefit.

You guys clearly did not watch the video. I don't understand why those regular kids go to that school either...IF they had other options. All the parties, all the large clubs are not even inviting to them.I got recruited by lots of southern schools and I said fukk that. I understand what you said about a lot of people caring about money and the short term and that's a shame. I also know the current state of the HBCU's are also terrible and I wouldn't suggest going there either. I understand everything I said was very ideal. Also I get the students benefit now. I'm saying the could benefit even more!

All I was saying if we took the time and effort, we could create a situation were everyone benefited except those institutions. Will it happen..Probably not, doesn't make it right though.

Dude you are sounding Naive as hell. Who gives a shyt what some a$$holes in some Fraternity/Sorority do. There are 24,000 people attending The University Of Alabama. There are black student unions. Black Fraternities, Black night life etc... You don't understand why Someone would rather attend Bama or Georgia instead of Stillman or Kentucky State??? And if you were basing your choice on where to attend schools based on racism. You would never have gone to college in the United States.

Funny cause I transferred out of country after my first year. I live in Vancouver now because I don't want to be surrounded by people like I met in the south. Also I understand why people would go to a major school over a small school. I do not understand if you have the means why you would choose Alabama over UCLA. I only say this cause I have been to places where the grass is greener and I realize what I said may sound Naive and impossible but it would be great to see, that is all.

Blacks are just inept and too dependent in this country unfortunately. Threads like these are the reason i wish segregation were put back in place. Because there are far too many black simply happy with just "assimilating" and completely disregarding their community, all for some dollars.

Before this liberal idea of "integration" was proposed to unsuspecting negores, blacks schools had the BEST atheltic programs in the nation, simply because we had the BEST ATHLETES. I attended PVAMU. Before integration, PVAMU football and basketball were ELITE programs, that put many athletes in the professional sports leagues, as well as won many sports championships. Now, its a laughing stock and idiots clamour for it to be shut down during any hint of financial turmoil.

If HBCU's go away, what little black community that exists will soon follow suit. If anything, we need to build MORE HBCU's, so more blacks can have an opportunity to pursue higher education and better themselves. That, assuming you negroes care to learn about your own fukking history and culture. Given the way most of ya'll idolize white women i'm sure you negroes could care less if black history or culture is even taught.

 

[mastermind]

you idiots really only look at shyt like this from an athletic prism.

Why dont black students stop going to schools like that?

 

[Hiphoplives4eva]

Now the fukk you think man? Hear the same shyt everytime and the shyt is not hard to comprehend.....

You stupid fukk those "elite" facilities were built on the backs of BLACK ATHLETES, most of whom are likely BROKE in their respective communities, with no fukks given about their welfare.

Those facilities could have easily been at Howard or Meharry had more black atheltes played for these institutions.

 

[Hiphoplives4eva]

and what conference is these schools suppose to join? because they go to a power conference how they are now, bottom feeders for years

Thats BULLshyt. Texas A&M has been a shyt football school for many years. When they joined the SEC many people claimed they would be perrenial bottom feeders. I think we can all see the opposite is true.

The fact of the matter is, TV contracts should be given out equitably to all conferences that participate. SWAC is a conference designed to MARGINALIZE black schools and keep them out of the pie. The SWAC conference should be dissolved and these schools integrated with these larger conferences. This would allow black schools to receive better funds for its atheletic departments.

Its clear these PWI have TOO MUCH fukkING CASH generated by their programs. Monies that could be redistributed to other schools so that the playing field could be more level. Its disgusting the way money is spoilt by these large PWI's, while other equally important instutions suffer.

 

[Hiphoplives4eva]

Wow this is what everyone takes away from this thread. Obviously no one is really expecting these young athletes to be the ones to stop going to these schools who have the most to offer. But no one watched that video and thinks we should do something about the institutional racism in big southern schools? Should kids commit to HBCU's just because?No, but something should definitely be done about sending our most promising athletes to these schools that would never accept them in their schools and lives if they were not talented athletes.

Their just c00ns friends. Let em catch a few balls for some dollars and white puss. In 15 years these same Negroes will be singing a different tune.
