Since when can Blacks compare to your general white person in money. Their average assets Blacks have 5k compared 113k for whites.

Wealth Gaps Rise to Record Highs Between Whites, Blacks, Hispanics | Pew Research Center’s Social & Demographic Trends Project

Then you guys talk about an all Black Basketball league and get mad when I say it won't make no where near as much money. :dead:

It's just fact, we don't have that type of money but what we would get is pride, self-respect, and a community which is far more valuable than a stupid dollar bill.

why not shake up the system? if a recruit is they dope, people will want to see him.
Nah, and we've seen this NUMEROUS times just in the past few years. What happened when Cam Newton, Ryan Perriloux, Michael Dyer, etc were booted from the prestigious universities and went to play elsewhere? They fell off the face of the planet, thats what.

The players are not bigger than the names on the helmets.

either way they arent getting paid. and i know cats who went to Carolina and GA Tech respectively and neither got degrees... they "finished".
one was working at FoodLion last i heard. These schools generally use you and throw you away.

Cause HBCUs make sure you graduate and then care about you afterwards?:heh: no school gives 2 fukks about anybody after that last tuition check clears...wait let me correct myself...after that last tuition check clears they only care about you giving a donation.

I applaud any black person going after that degree whether it's HBCU, PWI, community college whatever but as a top tier athlete it doesn't make sense to go to a HBCU if your main goal is going pro. There are better tools and assets at bigger schools. It's literally 2 different playing fields when it comes to it.

yea people would see him and it would draw attention to the basketball program but the level of competition that those schools face isn't great. they might play 1 ranked team a year if that, the competition is less superior and will effect the players stock because of the teams he has played

Cam went to a 2 year school, Dyer was playing 3rd and was in the Arena league

Steph Curry went to a tiny school and hes still putting in work in the league.

Raphael Bush went to an HBCU and hes putting a hurting on cats in the NFL.

Im pro black as fukk even went to a HBCU, but thats not the answer. HBCU's with good fundamental leadership are good. The vast majority are still ran like the 1800s. They worry about too much fukkery and not about education. The HBCU i attended cared more about sports and the band than anything else. We dont have computer labs, but the stadium state of the art. Dorms falling apart with the exception of the athletic one. The black excellence ones like Morehouse, Howard, Hampton are few and far between

That is a good point but in all fairness, those schools are basically surviving because of the gov't. We really don't have the income level like that. We just don't. That's what Blacks don't understand because we are capped by systematic white supremacy. Look at the richest AA's. Their all entertainers for cacs and we wonder why. When civil rights came, it was basically a restructure deal. They restructured racism. First brought out the businesses for big bucks. Jiffed ppl out of their land. Placed hard cheap drugs in the community driving many out of it. Took away teachers power which hurt the students more than the lack of resources. Created a lot of jails. 80% of the prisons in America are in the South. Created a gazillion laws that only applied to Blacks. We like to ask these simple ass questions but they always have a complex ass answer.

thats a non-factor. we hear about highschool bball dudes off youtube years before they graduate.

black people love finding reasons not to support their own

okay a star basketball player goes to an HBCU. he goes there maybe for 1 year face considerably lower leveled competition and does very well. his team goes to the ncaa tourney as a 16th seed or somewhere not above 13 and probably loses in 1st round to a bigger name school. thanks to the 1 and done thing thats basketball players are doing now exactly how much exposure is this bringing to the school. nobody really gonna care how a kid does at the hbcu because the talent of the schools they play against is just not challenging

Because those schools tend to have crappy training facilities, far less boosters and alumni supporters, play against far weaker competition and don't get nearly as much exposure, and they attract far less talent overall.

The Fukk kinda stupid question is that? You think having YouTube exposure matters after a certain point? Most NBA scrubs, for example, looked like goddamn superstars in HS. They like seeing how you do against top ranked schools and recruits.

And also are we forgetting alot of these dudes are getting paid under the table? The NFL/NBA isn't a guarantee no matter how highly recruited you are. But a high recruit is getting offered 10s of thousands even 100s under the table to play for some of these schools. Turn down for what?

It seems extremely unlikely that a 16 or 17 year old would pick A&T or NCCU versus Duke or UNC. It would have to be for purely non-basketball reasons. I could only imagine someone asking a 16 year old to sacrifice his potential for the bigger picture.:mjlol: is the most accurate response.

Now if a top prospect decided that they would attend an HBCU, I doubt that he would have enough success to warrant other kids into attending. Especially in football.
