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

This obsession with all things black or white is like a damn disease. I blame our politicians who push race and gender agendas into existence just to divide and gain votes from a particular group. Identity politics is destroying everything that brings us together and has set this country back.

He's not wrong though! Some of you don't see it and its not a surprise, its not spoken of around you. My entire family for generations went to Southern and Grambling. They heralded their experiences and I was raised as a Grambling fan. I still root for them both but when they go head to head, I'm all GSU but I chose to not go to either and I was questioned for it. Told that I was uppity cause I didn't think it was good enough for me. I went to LSU, I was a fan of LSU as a kid and it was actually my mom who introduced me to it. We are fans of home no matter who home is going against we are fans of home, so I grew to love LSU and chose to go there. I decided to go to LSU after I visited, when I saw truly how it was but I was still young and naive. I was surprised just how many black students there were and yet, just how small their voice on campus was. Black Student Union was active but really had no say anything, yet the athletes were saviors. You post that pic of Bama in the 60s yet, I was student when Obama won in 2008, THAT NIGHT, the racist foolishness spewed by whites just because he was so absurd me and my friends, felt it wasn't safe to walk around after the results came out. And that's the truth about it, some say football should bring us together, it does, but when its over then what? Those same athletes, are still black and still have pressures from both races, all the fans, recruits have that plus all these schools offering different things. If you've been told for your whole life that this place, in your home state, is only gonna use you for what you can give and you have to take what you can get from them to benefit, the mindset is already in a negative space about a place you have no idea about. You feel like more opportunity will present itself in another place where you're not starting from behind. I'm not saying this is every young black kid but, that's what's being recruited and that's what's leaving, and I guarantee that's the thought process all too often.

Why should black people separate theirselves into a separate group and have a voice? Why not just look at yourself as an LSU student? I cannot understand this obsession of race. I work with a guy that's black and we literally do the same job, the same pay, and we both have the same opportunities to get a raise. No one opresses him, but in his spare time I see him reading books like the New Jim Crow law or something like that. Why is this such a focal point? Blacks are always fighting for equality but it is them who are actually doing the separating from things that create equality. At what point will black Americans become happy in the world that they live in? Are they waiting for white people to just bow down and worship them? You get more attention than any other race in the United States and purposefully go against any and everything that can be considered white whether it's politics, culture, entertainment, clothing, grammar, and in some cases morals. It sounds to me like for the most part it's blacks who are not wanting to embrace anything that's considered white are going as far and deep as to change history itself into more black friendly accounts. There is a lot of deep rooted hate it seems and while white people are embracing black culture and admiring the good things black people bring to the table, black people are constantly fighting for more. There is even a group called The black Israelites who one day believe whites will be slaves of blacks and they hope for that! Tell me now how in the hell is that not racism!?

This subject got way off topic to a point where it just doesn't make much sense. I don't believe that recruits spurn LSU because of the reasons claimed in this thread about race. The proof of this is the current football team at LSU that's majority black athletes. Many black athletes have come here and embraced LSU, the fans, and the state of Louisiana. There may be a few negative/ bad attitude recruits out there who truly hate anything that white people adore in the area they grew up in, but I don't believe it is a sizeable number to claim the reason they go to a rival is that. Plenty of white people embrace these young athletes and want them to be successful even after they leave LSU. This is just an attempt to vent out hate for white people on any platform available. There is something that is universal for all races in this world... If you set goals and work hard to achieve them, you will have success. No one can take that away from you. You create your own path. Expecting a perfect world where everyone is the same culturally and morally is foolish so I don't know what blacks really want but no race whether it's white, Latino, or Asian is going bend over backwards to please another race. Screaming and whining about racism to people who just have to live their own lives with their own struggles and stress isn't going to create an easier path to your goals. It just makes people hate you because people don't like to be blamed for other people's problems no matter what their problem might be. Besides, I'd be willing to bet money on Alabama having more actual redneck idiot racists there than Louisiana so this argument is just all around dumb.

No doubt there are more racist trailer trash sum primate redneck m...s in the state of Alabama than Louisiana. La. has endured some issues but it is worse in Alabama and Mississippi.

Saban is getting these recruits the same way Will Wade is. We could beat Bama ten times in a row, and Saban will still get the recruits. We need to up a different part of our game.

I learned a clear lesson this weekend why black kids dominate recruiting.
10u girls softball tournament.... i shite you not this team we played had a black girl that was 5-6 or 5-7 and weighed prob 140 or 150 lbs.
I swear she was built exactly like Devin white.
It was amazing to see a 10 yr old girl run and play Ike a grown arse woman.
Fast as lightening and could hit the ball out park. She was catcher.
White people arent genetically built like that.

Different races have different strong points about them and we should all learn to just embrace that, instead of fighting over the things we're not good at. the Asian people in this country are the richest because they are some of the smartest, while black people are best at Athletics, and white people are kind of in the middle of both. I'm not going to whine, complain, and moan about black people being better at sports. If I want to compete on their level I have to work harder to get there.

You take a beating by answering correctly.
Even in some of their responses to you, they admit that you are right.
It’s not even a slight on orgeron. It’s just true.

Posters here speaking graciously on the same kids that considered LSU, then trash them when they exclude LSU. But some still come and then there is the conflict of interests, posters who cheer for LSUs black athletes on the Rant and then trash the race on the Poli board.
Those are some cold hard facts right there.

serious question: how many black people do you know? especially lower socio-economic black people? Bama dominates their fandom right now
That is so far from the truth man. They are going to a hated rival because that rival's head coach is, in many circles, considered the Best to ever Coach.

I also think that at some levels, this is an administrative issue as well. I guess what I mean is, if there's a coach at an elite (or not even elite) high school in the state who is pro-Bama, well let's just say that there should be some sort of "misconduct" or "unsatisfactory evaluation"; something to replace them with a coach who is pro-LSU. I guarantee you are unlikely to see a pro-LSU guy coaching at any high profile Alabama high school. Louisiana has to operate the same way.

Winning team - I remember when we were L6U, now we are Louisiana St8 University. Bama is going to the playoffs every year and winning national championships every other year.
Bama sending guys in the first round on either/both offensive and defensive lines EVERY SINGLE YEAR. Mingo was the last guy sent to the NFL in the first round on either side of the line.
Bama's coaching on both lines have been better for a long time now.
I mean other than playing for your home state, what does LSU offer a guy in the trenches over Bama?
Just hope that O and the guys can convince the top lineman to stay home. I mean do you really want to go the route of why they pick Bama over LSU? Everybody on this recruiting board that isn't a giant homer or biased understands, so again, let's just hope they can be convinced not to go out of state.

Do what Huey would have done. Run them out of town on a rail, use the law to our advantage and make sure any bodies have weights tied to the feet so they sink to the bottom of the bayou.
