Or maybe they are just bringing actual facts to a group of people who normally wouldn’t hear them.

Boomer internet speak is precious.

Didn't weigh in on how old I thought you were, but your Boomer internet speak is precious. You're too busy being a smartypants to read carefully.

Nobody wants to have a conversation with you

You didn't see the slave ship from st Aug to lsu going up the miss river?

That may be true but football nowadays is not to the detriment of black men. It is actually a way out of bad situations for some of those guys and turns them into millionaires.
Almost 70% of the NFL consists of black men, so there is no conspiracy or oppressive efforts against them. Some might say they are using them to win/promote their team brand/build wealth and that may be true but the players (all of them of every race ) are being paid really well and they know the nature of the game is violent and that's the price you pay to achieve greatness/fame/wealth, whatever your goals are.

I like The Flag next to your name, but your comment is a false.

1. Kids get an education and hopefully a degree.
2. Kids get training for the NFL. So basically 2 life options after college... NFL or use their degree.
3. The money made by the Not for Profit school, is dumped back into the school, athletics, scholarships, etc.
4. Kids have access to amenities that an Egyptian Pharoah would be jealous of.

And to top it off, these kids have a choice. They dont have to play football if they dont want to.

The same folks who keep saying espn is just bringing facts don’t seem interested in acknowledging affirmative action and the systemic racism it perpetuates.

Seems to me that when a company is forced to hire someone of a certain color even if a more qualified candidate exists of another race, that would be the very definition of racism.

This is not to mention the countless free dollars available only to select ethnic groups who wish to pursue higher education. Those same groups may also receive money from the “general” fund open to everyone as well. The reverse is not true.

Ethnic pride for some is a sign of pride in who they are while others are called hate groups.

Television networks can openly name themselves according to their targeted demographic only in certain cases while any attempt for some would never fly.

There is a miss America contest for all then there are miss America contests only open to select ethnic groups.


Tell me again about this racism that exists in today’s America....

You obviously have no concept of American history and how racism shaped it. To claim racism against blacks for creating organizations because racism excluded them from others is pure madness. To call blacks racists is out of the playbook of white racists. Yet history says blacks have always sought integration and have always fully supported white businesses and white organizations when they were allowed.

A racist is the one who fights against integration and shun businesses of the other race. Blacks do not have a history of racism against whites. The history of black people in American has been a fight to be treated equally, amazingly to be accepted by whites and to have a seat at the table. To the racist that has always been too much to ask.

Affirmative action came about because, left to individual discretion, blacks have been denied access to jobs and business opportunities. So affirmative action said blacks should receive opportunities based on their population percentage (generally 10%). That’s 1 in 10 jobs. Before AA, it was 0 in 10 jobs. Zero business opportunities from the billions spent by governmental agencies, even though blacks pay the taxes spent by those agencies. So of course the racist and historically challenged is against blacks getting even 1 out of 10 jobs. He wants it like it always had been 0 out of 10 jobs. So to the racist it is an easy step to claim the black who got that one job was less qualified. Because, you know, blacks are less intelligent in the white racist world. They were not concerned about the more qualified blacks when it was 0 out of 10 jobs.

Racism is amazing to me. I was raised in a home that didn’t teach hatred of anyone. We were taught to value all humans. That we were no better than anyone. And on the flip side, no one was better than us. For racism to exist and thrive it takes parents teaching innocent children to hate others because of race. And that they are superior to others simply because of race. When and if the human race ever reach its highest plateau, racism will be viewed as the most grievous sin perpetrated against the human race. Racism is based on ignorance and an evil and hateful soul.

Are they lying? History is history whether you like it or not. What they said was absolutely true. No need to run from it. Blacks couldn’t go to LSU, Bama, etc etc
