From what I saw in HS (mine and others) the cc team was whiter than the bb and fb teams. So if your cc team was almost all black, then your bb and fb teams were alll black? Did you go to HS in the hood?dbackjon wrote:GannonFan wrote:
Well, probably not in a white, affluent neighborhood. You do that in a poverty stricken white neighborhood and I don't think the outcome would be the same. Race isn't the only factor.
Exactly.
Growing up I ran cross country/track on a mostly black team (some times I was the only white guy on the team).
When we did training runs through an affluent white neighborhood, we had cops follow us in squad cars. When we did training runs through a working class white neighborhood we had bottles and racial slurs thrown at us.

LOL. I was the fastest white guy in school. Ran Cross-Country, but also ran 440/880. My older brother was all-city hurdler, ran sprint relays. I also did the mile relay.
Also triple jumped.
Sophomore year we got a new coach - black guy. Tried to make me a distance runner. Asked him if it was because I was white. Our relationship got off to a rocky start. LOL
