This shit just pisses me off.



The double standard is total bullshit.

When does the D1B all-white Post-Season Awards get announced?

When does the D1B all-white Post-Season Awards get announced?

That's what I was wondering!

Why do blacks get special All-American teams???

Why do blacks get special All-American teams???

Because your father's father's father's father's father lived during slave times.

Hysterically...
It's this exact attitude from white Americans that creates an embattled and hardened attitude from Black Americans

The fastest way to effect change in others (in situations such as these) is an attitude of indifference instead of an attitude of anger, resistance and annoyance
There will always be special Black Awards and special Black Achievements and special Black Honors as long as there is White resistance and white anger related to the awards... it strengthens the emotional attachment to the award if you have "haters" to fight against

but nothing (NOTHING) can do emotional battle against total and complete indifference...

Seems like this argument gets started in every HBCU thread.

It's not for black athletes only.

It's for athletes from historically black schools.

Look at this All American... he's whiter than Baldy:


You could put together an All American list of "historically white" schools if you wanted. Your list would end up looking like the all SEC list .

Alabama


Ole Miss


Arkansas


etc.
