You have an amateur sports system that initially, did not allow Black athletes to compete, let alone be a student at a southern university."she writes. “More revolutionarily, perhaps they could disrupt the reign of an “amateur” sports system that uses the labor of black folks to make white folks rich.”
Burgess Owens would disagree.

Exactly, no one but bigoted minded people should have a problem with what she said.Exactly
She can make her point without racist overtones.You have an amateur sports system that initially, did not allow Black athletes to compete, let alone be a student at a southern university.
However, once predominantly White institution’s, saw the value in the Black athlete, the flood gates were opened.
HBCU’s were established in the south because of segregation.
Her point is, she would like to see top Black athletes chose HBCU’s over schools like Alabama, LSU. For the simple fact that HBCU’s are hurting financially.
What????
The South stood for one thing, White supremacy.
Why would we as a country, honor confederate soldiers that hated everything the North wanted?
It would be like Germany having monuments to nazi soldiers.
What racist comments did she make?She can make her point without racist overtones.
What racist comments did she make?
She is the bigot.Exactly, no one but bigoted minded people should have a problem with what she said.
This is exactly what Burgess Owens is saying.people of all races, religions, and political believes can and are free to go to any colleges they want to !
Attend any school they they want to. Live in any town that they want to, apply for any job that they want to.
I could care less where an athlete ( Black, White, etc. ) decides to go to school. It doesn’t affect me
In the least. Economically, what affects me is the amount of effort that I put into my labor and investments.
I study history to learn from it and to avoid the mistakes of past actions. I also try to learn and emulate
The successful actions so that I can understand current day events and be an educated voter.
I also do not dwell on past or present prejudices against me and my ancestry. I am responsible for
My own destiny. I know my self worth, I make my Own decisions and accept my failures and enjoy my
Successes.
Everyone can do and should do the same thing. The same opportunities are there for every one
Today. No one needs to be a victim, but if one chooses to be that is their choice !
Funny, you guys find one Black man to support YOUR views.Burgess Owens is right on the money ! He is a perfect example of what every one should aspire to !
80%-90% of all division one university’s, are ran by White people.she writes. “More revolutionarily, perhaps they could disrupt the reign of an “amateur” sports system that uses the labor of black folks to make white folks rich.”
Universities are not white folks
There are alot of blacks who are on the BOTs.
Do you make any money from this?
More direct quotes from her article:80%-90% of all division one university’s, are ran by White people.
That’s from Athletic director’s to the President’s.
Funny, you guys find one Black man to support YOUR views.
But you disregard/dismiss any and all Black people that speak opposite of your views and then you go onto call them racist.
Do you think he's the only one?Funny, you guys find one Black man to support YOUR views.
But you disregard/dismiss any and all Black people that speak opposite of your views and then you go onto call them racist.
This is what liberty isMore direct quotes from her article:
“About 30 Division I schools each bring in at least $100 million in athletic revenue every year. Almost all of these schools are majority white—in fact, black men make up only 2.4 percent of the total undergraduate population of the 65 schools in the so-called Power Five athletic conferences. Yet black men make up 55 percent of the football players in those conferences, and 56 percent of basketball players.”
“Black athletes have attracted money and attention to the predominantly white universities that showcase them. Meanwhile, black colleges are struggling. Alabama’s athletic department generated $174 million in the 2016–17 school year, whereas the HBCU that generated the most money from athletics that year, Prairie View A&M, brought in less than $18 million.”

Yes, they should. Try some diversity.They should be ashamed of themselves
Are you serious? Do you not pay attention to your own time on this board?Where do I call anyone “ Raciest “ ?
Who has she personally ever discriminated against?Hill racist? Absolutely no doubt about it.
Funny thing is, despite the fact that her comments are blatant racism, nobody will do anything about it. Typical liberal double standard.
Hill racist? Absolutely no doubt about it.
LolAre you serious? Do you not pay attention to your own time on this board?
Multiple times, throughout this thread, deadirishpoet called Mrs. Hill a racist and a bigot. You, you are the one that “liked” his post. By you liking the post you are agreeing with him, calling her, a racist and a bigot.
Are black universities diverse?Yes, they should. Try some diversity.
Racism is the belief that some races are better than others, and the actions that can happen from those beliefs. For example, during The Holocaust, Nazis in Germany believed that some races did not even deserve to exist.
When has she done this?
Get your facts straight:Lol
Why did ESPN let her go?
THIS IS ALL ABOUT RACE! What are you talking about????She’s the one bringing up race by saying things such as “White Colleges, Black Athletes.” The action she is suggesting is basically segregation.
Are black universities diverse?
No, it is saying, you better support your own because no one else will.Absolutely not proportional to the population, that’s for sure. They’re losing money and need to find a new stream of revenue. There’s nothing wrong with saying that or trying to find a way to generate more money. Saying ND should only give scholarships to white athletes is. Just like saying black athletes should abandon white universities. You’re drawing a line and basically advocating for segregation.
THIS IS ALL ABOUT RACE! What are you talking about????
No, it is saying, you better support your own because no one else will.
This thread is all about race. That was my point.Then fvck off. I’ll root for ND no matter what color skin is under the helmet. I’m surely not tuning in to watch Jackson St as I have no ties or interest in doing so. See where that gets you.
