The article doesn't have to prove anything it just illustrates how people's prejudices could lead to what seems like very bias rules in the NCAA. I could give you tons of examples of racism in the NCAA. I was a captain and vocal leader amongst the black student union. I interacted with a lot of the powerful boosters and representatives in college football. You're dead wrong if you don't think a large portion of these people arent racist. I was suspended by the NCAA because I used the word nikka on social media. I have first hand experience, black writers like bomani jones have first hand experience and will tell you a huge reason athletes aren't properly compensated is because they're black. Look at this country historically, their attitude towards race and capitalism and tell me why this is so hard for you to grasp. There is evidence that black receive harsher punishments for equal crimes, less money for the same jobs, getting their resume thrown in the bushes because their name isn't traditionally white. Black college grads are less likely to be hired for the same position as a white dude with a high school education and criminal record. Yet you have the nerve to come here and question black people for thinking the NCAA might be racist? OKAY. A 30,0000 dollar scholarship is equal to 12-14 dollar per hour job for NCAA athletes and the time they put in per year. Now consider their skillset and popularity and now you justify why they should be making burger flip money?
Breh
1) You said the article doesn't have to prove anything. How so? The premise was that race was a factor in paying college athletes. Many sensible individuals would disagree with that so yes the article should provide better proof to make its case. And again my point was it proved moreso that race is not a factor by its own survey
2) And how did it illustrate that there were prejudices? That lead to an NCAA rule that was in place long before blacks were even allowed to be athletes lol.
Thats my point. It didn't provide evidence of prejudices.
Also all of your other points illustrates in my view the issues with black folks. I just simply do not view the world like many of you folks too. I just dont and never will.
I honestly believe 95% of all issues you listed about how ppl feel and treat blacks has to do with perception, biases, human nature, and stereotypes. Not inherent racism.
You'd like to believe that disparities in hiring (and many other areas again that you mentioned) has to do with just the fact that we're black. Again my view has been that our culture our issues and how a large portion of us blacks are (perceiving to be lazy and ghetto), drives 95% of all these stereotypes that play into everyone's minds regarding blacks.
If you think black on black crime, blacks issues with committing violent crimes (ex. Chicago, Baltimore). Doesn't affect other races perceptions of us. You sadly mistaken.
Other races that come to this country and do not have the issues we have in our communities. They by and large succeed and are prosperous in America.
Asians for example (have a language and culture barrier but b/c of their focus on family and education) make way more money than blacks and even make more than whites.
These issues causes America to look at Blacks at large threw these lenses. And like I said before black folks like you all who rather whine about white folks NEVER focus on the actual aspects that will really improve our circumstance. And thats US.
If Blacks improve our standing in America through Education, Stronger family values, less crime and ignorance.
You'll see a monumental shift in America regarding Blacks. Thats my view. But I don't expect race baiters like you to actually think the issues with the way the world views us,
actually has to do with us.
You'd rather circle whine and cry all day about white people.
