re: Besides more hardware, what makes a recruit from Louisiana go to a hated rival?

I just don't see how LSU should be viewed in this negative way. I don't care what part of the country you are from, there is a social class for rich and poor and it doesn't discriminate based off of color. Poor people in poor neighborhoods tend to hang out with each other and It's the same with the wealthy. Those who are poor white or black isn't LSU's fault, but falls in the individual and their upbringing. I've seen some trashy arse white people who do not raise their young right and they end up on the lower end of society. The same rings true for black folks. Football brings us all together white, black, poor, or wealthy. Why in the hell would black athletes want to stick it to the white man just because they like LSU? I'm white and I have to get my hands dirty on a daily basis through hard work and dedication. Where is this perception coming from that white people are oppressing black people? What do I need to change in my daily activities that can change that perception? The answer is nothing! The only difference between oppressed poor black people and white people is that white people have to live with their oppression and can only blame theirselves. Black people point fingers to white people for theirs and that is really the origin of racism in a nutshell. Quit pointing fingers and blaming others for your problems because all it does is create the hate and racism. I don't feel an ounce of hate or anomosity for any black person until they start pointing fingers and blaming me for shite that I have nothing to do with. This blame game has become an epidemic in this country and it's the black folks who are more dead set on rebelling everything than it is whites by far. Alabama isn't any better and I would argue that the divide is worse there.

Who cares. Name one kid that didn't come here becauae of race...name just ONE.

Thanks or shut up
