Take responsibility for your actions regardless of skin color. What I'm hearing is "wah wah I'm a victim."

Why not? I heard about a movie named White Tiger that was about a white guy that wanted to play for an HBCU football team, Grambling. So what is forcibly integrating all about anyways? Again, I wonder, why not?

Nothing is stopping kids from other races to go to these schools if that's where they want to go.

My nephew and nieces attend Tennessee State. From what I saw there during a visit, there are more than a few white students there.

I pulled this off of the TSU website.

Fast Facts

Nearly 6,500 undergraduate and 1,900 graduate students from 46 states and 45 countries; 74 percent black, 22 percent white.

All white people discriminate. Plan your college choice around that fact.

Solid strategy.

Back in the day, it was pretty much the only strategy.

Now, it's just tradition.

...nothing wrong with harmless tradition is there?

I was talking with my 56 year old father the other day who is very old school. And he made the comment that black kids should go back to HBCU'S because these big time programs use them and when they slip up they push them away and catch all kind of hell for getting the program in trouble like Terrell Pyor. I told him it's the exposure they get from the big time programs through tv etc to get to the next level.

Now you have to keep in mind that when my father grew up most of the black athletes were at HBCU'S especially in the south. Or they went up north or out west. I just thought this was interesting.

While i disagree with your dad on the Pryor point, I have always wondered when did people in the south just forget that for the longest time Black players weren't wanted at the most schools and now a 3 star kid wont even look at a school that 40 years ago would have been his only opportunity. There was a time when FAMU Southern Grambling and TSU could have competed on a national stage. All most all the talent was at these schools.

there's no doubt there was a multitude of talent at these schools and probably many more players that were even better but we never heard of them. Unfortunately, the big schools intergrated eleminating racial segregation but HBCU havent. They say they allow any race to play but they are still under the umbrella of HBCU. Time for them to end the racial biased too.

Yeah... I'm sure the HBCU's wouldn't find a way to pimp them, also.
