Black lawmakers urging recruits to reconsider playing for South Carolina

I don't give a damn what you are. Doesn't change the fact that these people are WHINING because there aren't (in their opinion) enough blacks on their board. Please, what else would you call it? I'd love to hear it.

What is "typical politician posturing" for 500, Alex.

So you're telling me that this is a completely legitimate argument? It's not like George Wallace barricaded himself to the campus entrance screaming "No more blacks!!!!" The dude doesn't want black players to play at USC because some idiot got charged with bank fraud and he was one of the last blacks on the board or whatever it was. Give me a break. Quit whining about not enough blacks being in these types of positions. If you don't like it, move to Africa. I'm sure you'll find plenty of blacks there.

I was with you until this little nugget. Seriously, this is over the line IMO.

I'd also add that I do not know the facts of the case but if they are indeed as you represented then I think it is silly that politicians are asking athletes not to attend an institution for this reason.

If the facts are not representative of the scenario you described there might be a legitimate beef but there are certainly better ways to handle it.
