A black organization, asking young black men to give up free college, to push some political agenda that below the surface won’t specifically benefit them :russ:

I’m getting tired of these folks selling black folks all these dooms day stories. We been in the shyt , everybody just getting clipped now :russ:
The fact that you view black socio polticial history being wiped out shows how much of an idiot you are.


Regardless of whether you are white or black

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.

I have not benefitted from any dei programs but even I see the value it plays and why it's necessarily.



This is some hair brained idiotic thinking

Yeah and it's the adults jobs to handle that. Not some kid who probably idolized someone that went to University of Miami and wants to go there like their idol.
Though common, that’s a stupid reason to go to a school. We seriously have to reshape how students decide what to do after high school. They make terrible decisions and adults are not helping.

What's to think?

It shouldn't even be a discussion.


In fact any negro and their parents spending money in Florida schools are fools.
My wife and her family are originally from Florida. They have said the school systems down there didn’t used to be so slanted off minorities in the mid and late 90’s but when the 2000’s came the foolishness ramped up.
I think HBCU's should always be the first option for black college bound students but that's just me.

My kids would also have a higher chance of finding a black educated and professional partner with a good head on his or her shoulders as well.
I agree. Try to be around like minded individuals and get a partner before you go out into the world where you have to fend for yourself AND on top of it try to find a partner in a sea of unfamiliar faces, most of which aren’t going to look like yours. I ended up with someone of another race but I’m pretty sure if I went to an HBCU I’m sure I’d have locked someone down while I was there. :manny:

Turning down your scholly to Florida schools just means you go to another school that churns out NFL players. It's not a big deal at all. I hope black players start telling florida schools to fukk off. This is what they want right?

I live here THEY ABSOLUTELY SHOULD TELL THESE SCHOOLS TO KICK ROCKS INCLUDING MY OWN

Wanna see how fast these white folks change course if that happens?

It literally would only take football players you don't even need the rest to do it. Those bull gators in Florida would personally run their president out of town if they started losing recruits over the DEI dissolusion

The boosters at Florida state and UCF would revolt if that shyt happens

These white folks lose all that racism when it comes to losing football games. We've literally seen this happen before with Ole Miss. They dumped the confederate flag the second they knew it would stop them from getting good players :heh:

Not all those kids have multiple options. They aren’t all on the same level.

Ok, you haven't benefitted. I haven't either. Do you personally know of someone who benefitted from DEI? I don't. Do you even know of someone who personally knows someone who benefitted from it? I don't. Telling students to jeopardize a guaranteed college scholarship for the sake of a program not even solely directed at Blacks is idiotic. Which LGBTQ students are being told to turn down scholarships in Florida? How about Asians and Latinos? We have decades of data showing how White Women benefited more from Affirmative Action programs than Black males. If you think DEI will benefit Blacks more than Latinos, Asians, and especially the LGBTQ community, you are a fool.

I already told these idiots that DEI is a white woman jobs program.

Don’t forget gay white men are still white men. LGBTQ being a diversity category is a major scam. How do you even prove it? Do you check it off on the application, and hope your boss and coworkers don’t see you with your girl outside of work?

Agreed. The NAACP need to break bread too then
As much as I hate this Jim Crow nonsense in Florida, a full ride scholarship is hard to turn down without a plan B

Without a doubt, beating back state back anti black policies is a "all hands on deck" effort

The NAACP needs to tell Black folks to boycott racist ass Elon Musk.

Every preacher in America needs tell their folks to boycott that clown.

If only Black people had that type of unity.

Imagine the NBA folks getting behind Colin even though that was happening in the NFL.

Imagine Venus, Lewis, Serena, and Tiger all coordinating with Hollywood and the rap community.

But Black celebs aren't interested in depriving white audiences of entertainment, and white owners of money.

Why? Black Organizations have failed to build that type of unity in the community.

Instead we have had decades of community leaders and activists cashing in and selling out. Which of course is by design.
