NAACP asks Black athletes to turn down scholarships to Florida colleges , your thoughts?
- Thread starter get these nets
- Start date
So these black athlete should produce money for PWIs in California?
The white man(still) get paid off of all of that.
Of course, a white man is going to get paid regardless of the college, even HBCUs. Anywhere there is a successful athletic program thst generates big revenue, whitey is going to get a cut. But black athletes can at least go to a school at which politicians are not actively taking away benefits and courses for black people because they (the politicians) think they are anti-white. That includes states like Mississippi, where Republicans are proposing bills to shut down HBCUs in the state. Black athletes taking this kind of action helps out the non-athlete black students, who are less desirable in the eyes of the bigots passing these laws.
The NAACP issued a travel advisory for Black tourists thinking of going to Florida I think 2 years ago due to DeKlantis racist policies.
I don't know if the racial climate in Florida is conducive for a Black athlete. If they ignore the advice and go there anyway then get fukked over by Florida cacs that's on them.
This is the time to promote HBCUs..

Aug 2023, legislative priorities for the year
I'm a member of my local NAACP and these are their proposed legislative priorities for this year.
2/3 explicitly use the "poc" language and, including the one about reparations! And they only advocate for a study. I expect that from the CBC, but not from the advocacy org, they supposed to go the hardest and push the politicians.
Also, while they're apparently only just now setting up procedures for local branches to report to the official body, the only "definitely will do" out of the three is advocating for DACA. This the shyt I'm talking about! I paid them money! WTF is we doing???
LEGISLATIVE
1. Call for U.S. Congress to Cause to Urge the United States Supreme Court to Develop and Abide by Ethical Standards DuPage IL Branch, Unit 3012
Concur as amended
WHEREAS, There is clear and convincing evidence that the United States Supreme Court has failed to adhere to any ethical standards, as shown by mounting allegations of misconduct by multiple Justices, involving clear and obvious conflicts of interest, including those related to members of their families; and
WHEREAS, It has become increasingly evident that the Court has refused to self-govern and has not addressed any of these numerous alleged ethical issues.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) hereby demands that the United States Congress immediately take all steps within its power, or otherwise call upon the Court, to develop ethical rules by which Justices must abide, including mandatory recusal from all matters in which a Justice has a conflict of interest.
2. In Support of Federal Oversight in Response to Actions that Restrict and Erode Reparative Policies Derrick Johnson, President & CEO
Concurred as amended
WHEREAS, The NAACP has long stood in favor of financial reparations to African Americans and persons of African descent in the United States who are descendants of slavery and the Jim Crow Era; and 2023 RESOLUTIONS 74
WHEREAS, The NAACP’s original policy position, as embodied in H.R. 40, demands that the United States Government commence hearings and a study commission to examine the issue of reparations; and
WHEREAS, History reflects that federal, state and local governments have facilitated particularized harm to Black communities based in racial animus; and
WHEREAS, History reflects that federal oversight has also served a critical role to ensure that states and localities address historic inequity; and
WHEREAS, Policy and legislation enacted through the Executive Branch and the current administration through its focus on racial justice presents targeted approaches to reduce historic social inequity imposed on Black Americans; and
WHEREAS, Since the adoption of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 until today, racist backlash from specific federal, state, and local policymakers has targeted the agency of Black Americans while seeking to erode voting rights, reduce federal investment in Black communities, and end federal oversight of reparative policy solutions.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the NAACP reaffirms past support for a Reparations policy expressed in 1997, 1999, 2001, 2003, 2007, 2016, 2019, and 2022.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the NAACP supports prescriptive federal oversight of state and local actions that perennially focus on eroding the progress of Black Americans and other people of color.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the NAACP will establish mechanisms for its units to report on state and local actions that erect barriers, erode social and economic progress, and diminish civic engagement by Black Americans and other people of color.
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that the NAACP demands that the federal government restrict funding to any state or locality found to engage in activity that hinders, erodes, or reduces gains of Black Americans in reparative economic or social justice, fairness in the application of the law, voting rights, and other measures targeted at reducing historic harm. 2023 RESOLUTIONS 75
3. The DACA Program Should be Continued Florida State Conference, Unit 5635SC
Concurred as amended
WHEREAS, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (“NAACP”) seeks to confront and eliminate societal and institutional prejudices deterring the advancement of people of color; and WHEREAS, “The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (“DACA”) program was intended as a stopgap measure to protect some of the nation’s most vulnerable immigrants — young people who were brought to the country as children and have grown up essentially as Americans — until Congress could agree on a comprehensive immigration overhaul or, at the least, pass a bill to offer them a path to citizenship”; and
WHEREAS, To be eligible to receive DACA status, individuals must have come to the United States under the age of sixteen. They must be in school, have graduated from high school, obtained a general education certificate, or received an honorable discharge from the U.S. Armed Forces. Furthermore, a recipient of DACA status must not have been convicted of a felony offense, a significant misdemeanor offense, multiple misdemeanor offenses, or otherwise pose a threat to national security or public safety; and
WHEREAS, In October 2022, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit partially affirmed a Southern District of Texas decision in Texas et al. v. United States et al. finding DACA unlawful, and that President Barack Obama exceeded his authority when he created DACA in 2012. The court preserved a previously issued partial stay and remanded the case back to the district court to review the Final Rule published by the Department of Homeland Security; and WHEREAS, Beginning on October 31, 2022, under the Final Rule and pending further litigation, the Department of Homeland Security can continue to grant or deny renewal DACA requests but is prohibited from granting initial DACA requests; and
WHEREAS, In 2022, approximately 1,161,000 people (known as Dreamers) were eligible for protection under DACA. Only approximately 589,660 received DACA status; and WHEREAS, The future of DACA as a whole is uncertain pending the resolution of the issues remanded back to the Southern District of Texas and further legal proceedings; and WHEREAS, DACA recipients are involved in their communities and contribute to their states’ economic and societal success, and the U.S. States rely on DACA recipients to fill in various labor 2023 RESOLUTIONS 76 gaps across many industries. Approximately 20,000 DACA recipients are employed as teachers, and approximately 34,000 are healthcare workers; and
WHEREAS, Eliminating DACA could have grave negative effects on the national economy. For example, there would be a loss of $280 billion in the nation’s gross domestic product (GDP), $33.1 billion would be lost in Social Security contributions, and $7.7 billion in Medicare contributions would be forfeited; and WHEREAS, In February 2023, the Dream Act of 2023 was introduced in the United States Senate. If passed, the Act would establish a process for Dreamers who qualify to apply for conditional legal status and eventually become citizens.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the NAACP will support the passage of the Dream Act of 2023.
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that the NAACP will advocate for the reversal of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit’s decision affirming Texas et al. v. United States of America et al
Jan 2024, kicking bp out of a rally for holding reparations signs
We losing rights and political standing left and right and the NAACP out here advocating for migrants.
You would think a moribund org such as this would welcome the energy of several generations of disaffected bp.
So, I went to check on the website and everything is very blackity-black all of a sudden*. I guess they have time for us now that they no longer need to expend their efforts advocating for DACA. 
*
I just realized, it's the same pivot the ACORN chick made, from immigrants (supposedly, allegedly) to bp. This is a plan.

The NAACP is an organization that has outlived it's purpose. The only ones that would advocate athletes giving up any opportunities are some chronically online dweeb, or some resentful pencil pusher that has never touched a field or been on a court.
These the same irrelevant nerds that try to put a no fly zone in Florida for black folks. No one gives a fukk about that organization or what it has to say.

The University of Miami is a private school, not state funded. Has nothing to do with thisI voted yes. But the longer I think of it, it just seems futile. These colleges are offering these black boys money. If you’re a 3 star DB and your only legit NIE money is coming from The U, or Florida state, or UF, why should the kid, the baby boy, be the adult hotep to stand on business, and turn down revenue? Hopefully other black adults are offering these boys money of their own to make this decision. Stevie wonder asked tourist to boycott Florida after Treyvon. And well….it didn’t work.
America is filled with supremacy of white ppl. Turn down Florida schools to experience racism at Billy Bob State.
No you are just a vile piece of trash
Cacs all up in this thread, Jesus christ
You heard it here first ladies and gents, Floridian anti Black racism can only to be found in State schools..everywhere else is a Black utopian paradise

A black college athlete boycott could seriously hurt schools financially. Many of these schools bank off their athletics programs. That said, doing this over DEI??? That's silly.
