Yes. The woke boys on here know how this sounds so they are having a tough time spinning it.

Are these "white" colleges?

I believe so, as the white team owners are making all the money off those athletes...or something.

Despite constituting only 3 percent of four-year colleges in the country, HBCUs have produced 80 percent of the black judges, 50 percent of the black lawyers, 50 percent of the black doctors, 40 percent of the black engineers, 40 percent of the black members of Congress, and 13 percent of the black CEOs in America today. (They have also produced this election cycle’s only black female candidate for the U.S. presidency: Kamala Harris is a 1986 graduate of Howard University.)

Would love to see the research for these claims. Are there even that many HBCU law schools and medical schools?

Also the majority of current black members of Congress and Kamala Harris aren't exactly ringing endorsements for the virtues of HBCUs.

She doesn't know they get paid too much, to want to leave

Eddie Robinson, by law, was not allowed to ATTEND LSU games as a kid due to the color of his skin. He watched games through a hole in the fence and would sometimes be attacked by white fans or police and beaten.

One of the biggest factors in the rise of Grambling as the "Black Notre Dame" was LSU (and Louisiana) had extreme segregationist policies which prevented white and black athletes playing on the same field in scholastic competition. He was able to recruit some of the best players in the country to Grambling because LSU, the state school, wouldn't offer them a scholarship. Eddie Robinson was also one of the greatest coaches in college football history, and he was denied the opportunity to apply for a more high profile job like LSU (or, hell, anywhere in the Big Ten, its not like they tried to hire him either) entirely due to the color of his skin. It would be like if Bear Bryant spent his entire at Union (Tennessee). It was a great evil committed against those kids and against Eddie Robinson. And proving that racism is stupid, it hurt LSU, the school racists were trying to defend.

Hopefully, we will never have that factor in forming a Grambling dynasty ever again. It's an unequivocal good thing that black kids can now go to the state flagship university. And if Eddie Robinson were a young coach today, he would quickly fly up the ranks and could be a coach at LSU. Or Ohio St. Or Notre Dame. Why would we want to live in a country where that isn't possible anymore? After integrating the major leagues, we didn't reconstitute the Negro Leagues.

The current chair of the LSU Board of Directors is black man (James Williams). Over 11% of the student body is African American. It's a far better world if we no longer have white institution, but simply an institution. An LSU degree is a key to opening relationships in the state, I would hate to deny any one that for the reasons of race, religion, or gender.

The frick is wrong with you? if you are going to act like there isn't a contingent of people on here who antagozize those who complain about SJW culture then you either are willfully ignorant or not paying attention.

Calm down, Jesus. Who's doing that right here? You're getting all triggered over nothing.

I'm amazed how, for some, "equality" among races now means that one should self-segregate.

IMO, sports has become a thing that doesn't have to revolve around race. The only colors are team colors. Sports brings people from different races and backgrounds together, whether it's the athletes on the teams or the fans that makeup the fanbase. There's nothing wrong with HBCUs, but why are people advocating that everyone should go to them to get away from white colleges?

But WCA was dead serious in this thread so you're getting all upset over something he didn't do here.

I am not upset. It is a message board.
