Maybe IRL but there were plenty of people on TD hating on Deion the moment he was hired at Jackson State.

Hunter for signing also & not just on TD. Happy & tickled pink when they both left for Boulder. Sanders starts his race narrative week 1 & now & here we are. This is where Sanders wanted to be all along just a little resentful that he was forced to go to J State.

The idea that an historically white football program like Colorado's is suddenly a Black team, on the surface, seems goofy.
Nah. What seems goofy is this retard acting like Colorado has never had black players before.

Or using the word "goofy" at all in a professional write-up. Such an infantilized country.

The media is why people can’t stand Colorado. It has nothing to do with race


The media plays a part in fanning the flames, but you can't have people on this board making threads about the "thuggery" of Deion's security team and tell me that race has nothing to do with it.

This is like the Fab 5 all over again where you have a team fully embracing black culture to an extreme level and it rubs a lot of old white people the wrong way. Meanwhile a lot of young black people immediately cry racism because they don't handle adversity well at all and have to blame something other than their own savior's shortcomings. It's racism on both sides.

It's been funny watching the the reactions over Colorado's last two games. When they beat Colorado State, a bunch of white people melted on twitter with black people drinking the tears. When they got smoked by Oregon, a bunch of black people melted on twitter with white people drinking the tears.

as someone who works with mostly black people,


I never understand statements like this, but of course I live in a state that’s over 40% Black so it’s not like working with black people is some unique experience

What happened to HBU's?
Not good enough for many Blacks whose ultimate goal is access to Whites/ their resources. They've made it when they access their schools , neighborhoods, etc......Instead of trying to maintain institutions( like HBCU'S) that will respectfully give them opportunities, people like Prime would rather chase Whites & accuse them of racism.


FAMU/ Jackson State & HBCU athletic programs will never have p5 money, but elite Black athletes ( especially Basketball) could have/can dramatically change the fortunes of these schools. Not faulting teenagers for their choices, but pointing out the mentality behind them.

They are nfl football fans, they do not watch much college football. Then all of a sudden they are telling me they are staying up until 1am CST to watch Colorado. A very basic, rudimentary observation of my work place.

Not sure how that gets twisted to I’m the only person to work with black people.

So, what you’re saying is that this, like everything else, is all about the money.

Nope, because there is too much money in grifting.

Not sure. Ask Al not so Sharpton, Jessie Jackson, Jemelle Hill, and other race hustlers.

James Franklin, a black head coach with a top 10 team, reading this article:


I’m thinking the difference is the flashy, urban, hip hop, gangsta-style angle which the dividers have chosen to define as representative of “black culture”.

That’s likely why a Franklin or a Ty Willingham or a Lovie Smith, etc. haven’t captured the fancy of the cultural Marxists, even though as far as I could ever determine on TV, those gentlemen have always been black too.

Mike Freeman is retarded enough to write this article and then wonder why racial tension/division gets worse every day in this country.
