Boise State's All-White Receiving Corps Decimates the University of Georgia's HBCU Defense

Matt Miller, one of Boise State's all-white starting receivers, scores against coal-Black UGA's defense
From here on out, expect two reviews of major college football programs each week. We'll mix it up a lot more than we did this week as things were heavily football centric (however, this was one of our biggest weeks ever from a traffic point of view).

I missed a number of important stories by concentrating on college football and didn't get the Auburn, University of Alabama, or Boise State previews done because of traveling and business commitments. One of those stories was in Portland - that town that actually laments and bemoans its whiteness - where a shooting at high school football game (yes, it was Black people shooting at Black people) sparked police to be out "in full strength" because of a fear of Black people retaliating against Black people:
Mayor Sam Adams decried the gun violence that broke out again in Portland Friday night after the Jefferson High School football game and said Portland police are "out in full strength" to prevent any tit-for-tat shootings. 

"We are already out in full strength ... civilian outreach workers, all of our police resources are out at full strength and very vigilant," he said. "Our first line of efforts is to prevent these gun crimes, our second when a gun crime like this does happen, our priority then is to prevent retaliation. This is horrible, this is tragic. We've had too many African American teenage Portlanders murdered in this city, and we are going everything we can to stop it.

"We need people's help, though," he said. "We need more witnesses. We still have cases where we have no witnesses, where people have been injured and killed." 


Six teenagers were wounded in the area of North Albina Avenue and Jessup Street around 11:20 p.m. The mother of one of the wounded youths said her son had been released from the hospital today, but the other five teens were still being treated.

"To be very blunt, illegal guns have swamped the city," Adams said Saturday  morning after being updated by police on the latest incident. He said it was too early to say whether Friday night's shooting was part of the violent grudge matches between rival sets of African American gangs which have claimed at least seven lives this year.

 To be even more blunt, Portland has been swamped by delusional Disingenuous White Liberal (DWL) rule, and a peaceful, bucolic city has elected officials afraid of stating that Black people are dangerous and cause a disproportionate amount of the crime - violent and property - in the city.

A family obligation caused me to miss the historic Boise State/ University of Georgia match-up at the Georgia Dome last night, as I had planned on attending the game in person.

The University of Georgia football team - representing a school that is more than 90 percent white, with less than 1.5 percent of the enrollment being Black male - looked like a Historically Black College and University (HBCU) program, with 20 out of the 22 starters being Black athletes. A majority of this athletes are "special admits" to the university, lacking the mental aptitude to get into UGA on their own academic merit.

Earlier in the day, Brigham Young University (BYU) defeated the University of Mississippi 14-13. A majority white team from Provo - full of "white boys" in the words of BYU safety Daniel Sorensen - came to Oxford and outplayed the university "formerly known as the Rebels."

The score isn't indicative of the humiliation Ole Miss Black Bears faced yesterday; the school has castrated its former traditions and history in an all-out bid to erase the 'legacy of racism and all-white teams' and embrace a form of Blackness that Eddie Robinson from Grambling would shy away from.

Before Southeastern Conference (SEC) decided to lower academics standards and recruit primarily Black athletes to fill their rosters, HBCU's like Grambling and Southern would recruit Black athletes and the Black coaches there wouldn't be afraid of disciplining them. At SEC schools, discipline equals discrimination and a whole new set of rules and standards were erected to protect white coaches from being called racist.

Basically, that means no rule and no standards.

Watching Mark Richt's UGA program is like watching a prequel to a future episode of COPS. The amount of Black athletes who have gotten into trouble at the school, during their recruitment or upon leaving the institution is staggering. The same can be said of the University of Tennessee, the University of Florida, Auburn, Alabama and other SEC programs.

It's sad and tragic indictment of the type of players these programs feel are necessary to winning football games.

Boise State brought a much different football program to Atlanta yesterday and reminded UGA alumni of the types of teams that once suited up in the red and black uniforms. 1971 was the last year UGA fielded an all-white team (in the 1970s, Vince Dooley would have a hard time with integration as a Black player would pull a gun on a white player in 1976) and Boise State brought a team of predominately white starters to play a game against the Bulldogs HBCU squad.

Boise State last played UGA in 2005 and was blown out by one of the Bulldogs best teams in the past three decades. This Bulldog had all of the athleticism and natural talent you here ascribed to Black athletes, and Boise State would bring three starting white receivers (the Stormtroopers) to Atlanta and an immobile quarterback in Heisman Trophy candidate Kellen Moore.

The announcers actually compared him to a character in Leave it to Beaver, the 1950s show, obviously making fun of boring white appearance and lack of tattoos or dread-locks. Moore, acting more as a surgeon then a fictional television character, cut the all-Black UGA defense to shreds, threading pass after pass to his all-white receivers and tight ends.

His receivers, executing each route with the precision of the Princeton offense in basketball, raced swiftly through the UGA all-Black secondary. No dropped passes. No drop off in productive or effectiveness from losing two Black receivers from last year's Boise State squad (both are now in the NFL). Boise State's all-white receiving corps was unstoppable, and UGA's HBCU defense - and the almost all-white UGA crowd at the Georgia Dome - looked on incredulously at what they were witnessing.

Haven't we long been told that white guys can't play receiver? Isn't this what recruiting guru Tom Lemming told Michael Lewis in The Blind Side? Tail back and receiver is the exclusive territory of Black athletes in the SEC and for many college programs, though Boise State seems indifferent to playing by those recruiting rules.

Dallas Burrough, Matt Miller, Kirby Moore and other Boise State receivers (the Stormtroopers) ran precise routes and blew by UGA's HBCU secondary and defensive players. You have to wonder how many UGA alumni and current students thought "what are these white boys doing beating our might Bulldogs?"

I'd have asked them, "What are all these academically unqualified Black athletes doing playing for and representing UGA, when hundreds of qualified white high school athletes get overlooked each in the recruiting process by a university seemingly dedicated to fielding an HBCU football team?"

It is teams like Boise State and BYU that give white guys the chance to compete and play. You can recruit all the four and five star Rivals.com and Scout.com Black athletes, but you can't quantify character and heart during that process. In Tom Barbour's Blue Collar Mentality: Boise State's Rise to Football Prominence,
he states as much. Writing about former Boise State walk-on running back Brock Forsey - a white running back who he called "The Sword in the Stone" - Barbour states his "never quit" mentality represents the Bronco's whole outlook.

Sadly, Forsey wouldn't quit football, but he would basically be told not to play anymore. After an amazing career at Boise State, the Chicago Bears drafted him. Here is what Sports Illustrated wrote in an article on Toby Gerhart - discussing how a white running back faces a backlash for being a white guy in a "Black" position:
For those who do reach the NFL, the path doesn't get any easier. In 2003 Brock Forsey was a Bears backup who started one game in place of injured starter Anthony Thomas and was spectacular, rushing for 134 yards and a touchdown on 27 carries. The next week Thomas returned to the lineup and Forsey went back to the bench, getting only three carries. He never started another NFL game. "It's hard to tell exactly what happened," says Forsey, who starred at Boise State and is now an executive at a title and escrow company in Nampa, Idaho. "No one ever said anything about race. But there may be some preconceived notions out there. A white guy from Idaho isn't what you have in mind when you envision an NFL running back."

Evaluating players shouldn't be about what we envision but what we see. That lesson should have been learned from the decades of discrimination against black quarterbacks at colleges and in the pros. Despite the obvious parallels, no one seems to be as concerned that white tailbacks are getting the same treatment. "I did dozens of interviews about the lack of opportunity for an African-American to be a QB back in the 1980s and early '90s," says Richard Lapchick, director of the Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport at Central Florida, "but this is only the second time I have been asked about the lack of opportunity for whites to be running backs." Maybe that's because racism isn't the culprit here; it's mostly white coaches and talent evaluators who are choosing black running backs over white ones. But it doesn't make the color line any less real.

How many countless, nameless athletes in the South and other regions of the country have similar stories to Forsey's, but at the high school level. Never getting a chance to play college ball because college scouts and evaluators have a bias against recruiting white athletes in a time period where the perceived superiority of the Black athlete is ingrained in the national conscious.

If that is not the case, why Sportsbore.com say this about Boise State:
Last night’s Tostitos Fiesta Bowl was a great match-up of second-tier, FBS programs. I haven’t seen that many white guys on a football field since 1964! I’m not being a hater, and I admit that Boise State and TCU both have great football programs.

Only teams like Louisiana State (LSU), Auburn, Oklahoma, UGA, Alabama and other programs that have nearly all-white student bodies but field football teams that look like HBCU programs are considered "legitimate" in the eyes of sports fans. They have been conditioned to believe this by ESPN and a conscious effort on the part of scouts and college coaches to only recruit a certain type of athlete: Black.

What Boise State did to UGA (they were winning 35-14 before UGA scored a late garbage touchdown to make the score 35-21) will not be compared to the 1970 University of Alabama vs. University of Southern California football game. An all-white BAMA squad - who had had uncharacteristically bad seasons the prior two years - was destroyed in Birmingham 42-21 by an integrated USC team (lost in history is the fact that BAMA, with only one Black starter, would beat USC 17-10 the next year in LA):
 The game, a 42-21 Trojans rout, couldn't have left a stronger impression on the Alabama faithful. The Trojans gained 559 yards, nearly 300 more than the Tide. Mr. Cunningham rumbled for 135 yards and two touchdowns, and needed just 12 carries to do it. "They were good players," Mr. Cunningham says of the Tide. "By no means am I implying that they weren't. But we were bigger, stronger and faster."


Alabama's football program first established itself more than 80 years ago, becoming the South's flagship team when it went west and won the 1926 Rose Bowl. The Tide excelled in the Depression years and won three national titles in the 1960s under Mr. Bryant. But the slowness of the South to accept integration started to hurt the Tide, culminating in that 1970 season opener against USC.

The legend of that night, which has become known as the Cunningham game, has been exaggerated, misremembered, misunderstood and mythologized. Books overstate Mr. Cunningham's yards and touchdowns. Mr. Cunningham is famously said to have done more to integrate Alabama in 60 minutes than Martin Luther King Jr. did in 20 years. Aside from whether he did or not, the quote is alternately attributed to Mr. Bryant and two former assistants. "I've been here 20 years," says Taylor Watson, curator of the Paul W. Bryant Museum in Tuscaloosa, "and I've never been able to figure it out."

According to myth, Mr. Bryant took Mr. Cunningham to the Tide locker room after the game to show his team what a football player looks like. Mr. Cunningham says Mr. Bryant did make the unusual gesture of speaking with him after the game but just to congratulate him. "It wasn't anything earth-shattering," he says.

Hard to believe, but 40 years ago SEC football programs were almost all-white. And they were winning championships. In Charles H. Martin's book Benching Jim Crow: The Rise and Fall of the Color Line in Southern College Sports 1890-1980, he writes of integration (p. 301):
Successful integrated teams also served as racially inclusive symbols around white and black southerners could unite in a common cause, thereby fostering racial reconciliation and inventing a new shared tradition.
Looking at the state of major southern cities like Atlanta, New Orleans, Birmingham, Memphis, Jackson, Mobile, Augusta, Savannah, Charlotte, Nashville, Orlando, Tampa, and Columbia, it's obvious this has not occurred. White people will abandon every city that goes majority Black, erecting new suburbs far away from these new Black metropolises that are inevitably run into the ground as the myth of Black Buying Power is exposed when malls and shopping centers that were once successful close.

It is only on fall Saturday's that white southerners come to cheer on their football programs that resemble HBCU squads. As stated, Ole Miss gave away its proud traditions and history in a Faustian Pact for football glory.

Their HBCU squad got beat by a team of "white boys" from BYU yesterday and you have to wonder how many white alumni and white students went back to the famous "Grove" (the best place to tailgate in America) and sipped cocktails waxing about the "good-ole days" of Ole Miss football when the school reflected the majority student population and actually won games.

Yesterday in the Georgia Dome, you have to wonder how many white alumni and current students from UGA - who laughed at the Boise State team when they came onto the field for being too white and looking like a team from pre-integration days - thought, as the white receiving corps and white defensive players thoroughly embarrassed their HBCU program, "man, these white boys can play. Why don't we have any?"

We tolerate Black crime and the abandonment of major cities because we believe that without Black football and basketball players are sports would not be legitimate.

That Boise State brought a team of majority white starters - including white players at the "forbidden to whitey position of receiver" dominating the HBCU UGA defense - to Atlanta and won convincingly over a coal-Black UGA squad (in 2007 - 2008, though Black males made up only 1.8 of the student body population, the UGA team was 72 percent Black) should cause a few people to take notice.


They won't though. Portland, Oregon will still require police to be out "in full force" to deal with the threat of Black people killing other Black people. Major cities will require curfews to deal with unruly Black teenagers, security measures primarily needed during times of natural disaster or war. And through it all, if the Black kids that cause the city to be locked down have athletic ability, SEC schools and other college programs will have no problem recruiting them.

This is why America is no longer a superpower. It all starts with sports. Boise State showed that white guys can play football, beating a UGA team that looked like a HBCU program.

If Bear Bryant were around, he'd probably have looked at a white receiver like Matt Miller - who UGA's Black athletes couldn't cover - and say, "that is what a football player looks like."

Sadly, most SEC coaches wouldn't have given him the time of day during the recruiting period. His speed and receiving ability could never overcome his lack of melanin.

White sports fans have been conditioned to believe this of all white athletes. What Boise State did to UGA on September 3, 2011 will one day replace the mythology of the 1970 USC-BAMA game, because Black-Run America (BRA) will fall.

#227. Donating Blood

Black people are a charitable lot, when it comes to philanthropic endeavors within their own community. Though it is difficult to qualify how well these donations are impacting the Black community, Black people do give money at an extremely generous rate:
A 2003 study reported in the Chronicle of Philanthropy that African Americans who give to charity donate 25% more of their discretionary income than whites. And a study of affluent people of color making donations in the New York region, released in October, found that African Americans gave more money annually than either Latino or Asian Americans, according to the Coalition for New Philanthropy.  
Coincidentally, numerous Fortune 100 companies pay homage to Black Run America (BRA) and annually tithe to this secular institution with a passion once devoted to theological pursuits.

$9 out of $10 dollars that Black people donate goes to the church, and as everyone knows Sunday is the most segregated hour in the week.

For all the good intentions of living a pious life and having blessings bestowed upon them for placing money in the collection plate on Sunday, Black people refrain from a much more important type of donating that could save mortal lives instead of souls:
Blood that closely matches a patient’s is less likely to be rejected by the patient and can mean fewer complications after a transfusion.
 
Genetically-similar blood is superior for people who need repeated blood transfusions, for conditions like sickle cell anemia.
Increasing African-American donations is vital because blood types O and B, the blood types of about 70 percent of African-Americans, are the blood types most in demand.
The reasons for not donating blood are simply described as a lack of trust Black people have for the medical field:
Disparities in healthcare between races exist in the United States. A new study published in the journal Transfusion explores why African Americans donate blood at lower rates than whites. The findings reveal that there is a significant distrust in the healthcare system among the African American community, and African Americans who distrust hospitals are less likely to donate.
Led by Beth H. Shaz, MD, Chief Medical Officer of the New York Blood Center in New York, New York, researchers created a survey to explore reasons for low likelihood of blood donation in African Americans.

Some studies have shown that only 1 in 10 Black people donate blood, which correlates to big problems in the Black community when a Black person is in need of a transfusion:
African-Americans are less likely to donate blood because of a general distrust of the health care system, according to research conducted at African-American churches in Atlanta and published online Sept. 14 in Transfusion.
Adelbert B. James, Ph.D., of Emory University in Atlanta, and colleagues surveyed parishioners at 15 African-American churches in Atlanta on their knowledge and beliefs about blood donation and the barriers to and motivators for their giving blood.

Some 930 parishioners responded to the survey, with 3 percent reporting being current blood donors, 46 percent being lapsed donors, and 40 percent being non-donors. Compared with those who distrusted hospitals, the researchers found that those who trusted hospitals had less fear of donation and more knowledge of the blood supply, and they were more likely to respond to the community's blood needs. Donors were more likely than non-donors to have participated in research and to trust hospitals.
Black people just don't donate blood. Not even Dr. Hibbert could get Black people to donate blood at this point. Read the NAACP of Detroit here to understand the differences in Black blood and white blood, and why Black blood donors must be found:
While the need for all types of blood donations is ongoing, the need for minority donations is the greatest. Of the 5 percent of the general population who donate blood, only 1 out of 10 are African American or Hispanic. Every day of the year, thousands of African Americans and Hispanics face an alarming fact. There can be a limited amount of blood available for minorities when they need it.
While they experience the same life-threatening emergencies that require blood transfusions as other people in the United States, there are a large number of minorities with rare blood diseases unique to their race, such as sickle cell anemia. As with every individual, the most compatible blood transfusion is likely to come from someone of the same ethnic, racial and genetic background as the patient.
Combined with the fact that African American and Hispanic populations are growing – thirty percent of the population in South Carolina is now comprised of African-Americans while Hispanics have tripled in recent years – there is an urgent need for minority blood donations.
Wait: isn't race just a social construct? Worse, when one listens to the CDC and understands what was publicized at Boise State, Black people could one day be banned from giving blood. With Black people having HIV/AIDS rates at eight times the white average, and STD's at rates that dwarf their white counterparts, Black people might soon have their blood disqualified from the ranks of safe donors:

In 1983, the FDA ruled out donations from anyone who had lived in Haiti after 1977. Then it extended this prohibition to sub-Saharan Africa. Today, the Red Cross informs prospective donors that under FDA rules, "Persons who were born in or lived in Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Niger and Nigeria since 1977 cannot be blood donors."


This isn't racial animus. It's just blunt math, based on the increased risk of a particular HIV type in these populations. The FDA has a similarly coarse rule against blood from anyone who has spent half a year in the United Kingdom, based on the threat of mad-cow disease. The problem isn't racism; it's the crudity of treating individuals according to group membership. Where does it end? When the FDA barred Haitian blood, Haitian groups asked why black Americans, whose HIV rate was higher than that of Haitians, weren't similarly excluded. It was a good question, and it was never answered. (For an excellent analysis of similarities between the Haitian blood ban and the MSM blood ban, see Charlene Galarneau's article, "Blood Donation, Deferral, and Discrimination," in the American Journal of Bioethics.)

Not only do Black people refrain from donating blood, they also fail to check off the box on their drivers license that would make them organ donors:

Organ donor rates among African Americans hover around 10 or 15 percent – well below the national average. Meanwhile about 35 percent of patients waiting for a kidney are black...

Network president Howard Nathan says matching and transplantation are colorblind: A donor of any race could be a match for a recipient of any race. But he adds …
Nathan: There are some matching factors that do matter that are linked to race.
So, if most of the potential donors are white, blacks on the transplant list are at a disadvantage. It’s less likely that when a kidney becomes available – it will be a good match for an African American patient.
The above sentence makes absolutely no sense. Why would a doctor say a donor's race doesn't matter, but then stress the importance of increasing Black donors so that "good matches" for Black people would be present? Though it has long been argued race is merely a "social construct", Black people lack the white privilege of being able to enjoy their higher rates of organ donations:
LaKeisha Coleman, education coordinator with Mid-America Transplant Services, works with Bonds and others to tell black people about organ donation.
Blacks need more donors for certain organs such as kidneys and lungs because they’re harder to match outside of ethnic groups, she said.
Statistics from Mid-America Transplant Services, based in St. Louis, say that this year in the St. Louis region, 61 percent of black people eligible to sign donor permissions, have done so, compared to 93 percent of white people.
Stuff Black People Don't Like includes donating blood, an act of volunteering that could save additional Black lives, yet is one that Black people participate in infrequently.

But if race is a social construct, why can't Black people just receive an infusion from a white person or an organ from them?

Black people are charitable, they just don't give blood.

#414. The Reality of Cook County




Black people love life under Mein Obama, the General Zod of Black people the world over. Regardless of the sorrowful state of the economy and the massive job loss for Black people, the admiration that Black people display for Obama will never cease.

More importantly Zod-Obama has empowered the most diverse cabinet in history with a plethora of color that no amount of bleach could ever impair:
"There are those who will never accept that and who seem to think that white males have a monopoly on merit. For them, this entire diversity accounting system is silly and even offensive. They insist that staffing a Cabinet should be like picking a doctor, where you choose the best person regardless of race or background. It's easy to say that when many of the people in government look like you."
No, when you go to a doctor, Black people prefer that that doctor look like them as well, regardless of their merit. Had Michael Jackson not practiced this logically line of thinking, he might still be with us today:
"Michael Jackson’s personal physician will be charged with manslaughter within the next two weeks, a law enforcement source told FOXNews.com."
Of course, no discussion of the greatness of Mein Obama could be complete without mentioning his move to anointing into paid government positions numerous Black people as Czars. Attorney General Eric Holder famously challenged white America (those cowards) to a debate about race:

"Race, Holder said, "is an issue we have never been at ease with and, given our nation's history, this is in some ways understandable. ... If we are to make progress in this area, we must feel comfortable enough with one another and tolerant enough of each other to have frank conversations about the racial matters that continue to divide us."

In his speech, Holder urged people of all races to use Black History Month as a chance for honest discussion of racial matters, including issues of health care, education and economic disparities. He also used more blunt language.

"Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial we have always been and I believe continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards," Holder said."


A debate on race? That would probably mean Hate Facts would have to be brought into the equation and in polite society, that is just unacceptable, the truth be damned!

However, the cowards that are white people were presented with the disgraced former Czar of green jobs, Mr. Van Jones, and an interesting argument, as he said:
“You’ve never seen a Columbine done by a black child. Never. They always say, ‘We can’t believe it happened here. We can’t believe it was these suburban white kids.’ It’s only them. Now, a black kid might shoot another black kid. He’s not going to shoot up the whole school."
Now, you cowards who might be reading this, prepare to engage Attorney General Holder and the rest of the people who fall lock-step into formation behind Zod-Obama with the reality of Cook County, where a veritable Columbine happens daily in the streets:

"Chicago police geared up to provide extra security at Fenger High School on Monday as they reviewed a graphic amateur video showing a student beaten to death with wooden two-by-fours.

The nearly three-minute video, shot by a girl who attends Fenger, captured the gruesome melee as it unfolded. Derrion Albert, 16, is seen being struck then stumbling to the ground; teenagers then continued to viciously punch, kick and strike him with the wooden boards. The additional evidence is aiding the investigation, Chicago police said."
Ah, Chicago, the proud home of Zod-Obama, where in 2008 more murders were committed in the confines of that glorious city than soldiers were killed in Iraq:
Combine the two stories, and the whole 2008 picture — the picture unpainted by members of the media — is made clear:
  • 314 U.S. soldiers died in Iraq;
  • 509 people were murdered in Chicago.
Chicago is roughly 33 percent white, 33 percent Black and 33 Hispanic (okay, Mexican - but Black people don't like to acknowledge that they are now the #3 most populace racial group in America), yet this wonderful racial trifecta hardly correlates into a peaceful utopia (in 2009):

"Since January, according to the Chicago Police Department, one in 10 homicide victims has been 16 years old or younger. Since the last school year began, an estimated 45 Chicago public school students have been murdered, the majority of whom had no gang or criminal affiliation. According to the Chicago Sun Times, Chicago is also home to four of the 25 most dangerous neighborhoods in the country. In many instances, the elderly are being murdered in their own homes, women are being raped and killed coming home from work, and children are being shot - at an alarming rate - while riding their bikes, playing in the park, standing on the street or coming home from school.

Chicago Police Department said that, since January, more than 280 murders have occurred on the streets of Chicago, the majority of which have been with a firearm."
It would be rude to stop there, because Mr. Holder is correct, a national debate on race is vital to understanding the core problems of our nation and, alas, Van Jones was wrong, as Columbine didn't transpire on streets of Chicago over the Fourth of July, but a full-blown reenactment of Mogadishu did:
"The Chicago Tribune - which tracks murders in Chicago on a monthly basis - reported that July 9th, when one woman was strangled and another six people shot to death, was the deadliest day of 2009. During the 4th of July weekend - the bloodiest weekend to date - there were at least 63 shootings and one stabbing, resulting in the loss of 11 lives.

The ethnic breakdown of the victims and the perpetrators is also disturbing. In 2009, 88 percent of the murder victims were male and 78 percent of those victims were black. In 2008, when 511 murders were committed in Chicago, 74 percent of the victims were black and 76 percent of the perpetrators were also black."
Barack Obama's adopted home town, where he spent so many years as a community organizer is awash in the blood of Black people, at the hands of Black people. The building of the great racial bridge that would forever change Black people's fate in America - Zod-Obama's election - has failed to materialize.

Black school children are constantly under attack by other school children in Chicago, a horrifying problem that white people in St. Louis recently were exposed to on a bus, as the lust for violence is migrating to wherever Black people can be found:
"Chicago police officers secure the scene of yet another slaying. The city is setting a grim record this year and many of the victims are young people, as CBS News correspondent Dean Reynolds reports.

Thirty-two Chicago public school students have been killed so far this school year, according to the Chicago Police Department.

And what is almost as disconcerting is the adjustment the that city - and even the children themselves - seem to have made to this uncommon carnage."
The always interesting Drudge Report (Drudgereport.com) has been inundated with truculent images of Black people of late, from Serena Williams, Boise State, Kanye West, St. Louis bus beatings and now the nightmarish sight of Black people attacking a Black student - a straight A student - and beating him to death:

"This is the hard lesson some students at Fenger High School have to deal with after a day of learning. For them it's a hard lesson of reality on the streets.

Thursday after school, two rival gangs got into a fight three blocks from the high school.

In all four students were beaten in that melee -- one was released from the hospital Friday morning.

While police continue their investigation, some students say they don't want to go back to Fenger next week.

Rival gang members have been fighting for a month -- and each time one of their fellow classmates is injured.

No knives and no guns were used in Thursday's fight. Just fists, feet and boards."


Mein Obama failed as a community organizer in Chicago, as evidenced by the community he left behind in Chicago when he sought the US Senator seat in 2004. Van Jones failed in his attempt to denigrate white people as monopoly-holders in the Columbine massacre card, as any viewing of the local nightly news would show. Attorney General Holder has failed in his efforts to stem the growing tide of MARs and white people who are prepared for that national debate on race.

Each moment that ticks by that we as a nation refuse to confront the severity of the problem, more innocent lives like Mr. Albert in Chicago and Michael Jackson, will be lost.

Chicago is a wonderful city, as anyone who saw that metropolis act as a stand-in for Gotham City in the 2008 Hollywood mega-hit "The Dark Knight" could tell you.

However, Stuff Black People Don't Like dishearteningly includes the city that Zod-Obama cut his organizing teeth upon, as the reality of Cook County is beginning to cause those cowards that Mr. Holder caustically dismissed in February of 2009, realize Pre-Obama America wasn't so bad after all. If disingenuous white liberals and crusading white pedagogues ever realize that same reality, well... the chance of that happening is about the same as the Cubs winning the World Series.

Update: Youtube is deleting all videos of the horrible beating in Chicago. Click here to see the tragic death. You will need to verify your age.

#641. United Nations Declaring Rape a Tool of War



The United Nations is an organization dedicated to helping colored people, especially Black people, on a global scale and simultaneously dedicated to making white people pay for this humanitarian effort.

Recently, the United Nations has decided to debate whether or not rape should be included considered a tool of war, as nations in Africa are seeing an epidemic of rape in war-torn countries:
"Beyond climate change, nuclear proliferation and other hot topics of this month's annual U.N. gathering of world leaders, the international body will address another threat to humanity: the epidemic of rape in conflict-afflicted areas, especially the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who appeared genuinely moved after her August visit to rape victims in eastern Congo, is expected to chair a special U.N. Security Council session at the end of the month to review U.N. efforts to curb the epidemic.

"Meeting with survivors of rape, which is now used increasingly as a tool of war, was shattering," Mrs. Clinton told a New York audience Friday. "The atrocities described to me distill evil to its basest form. These are crimes against humanity. They don't just harm a single individual, or a single family, or village or group. They shred the fabric that weaves us together as human beings. This criminal outrage against women must be stopped."

Contrary to disingenuous white liberals - who believe racist white babies are the pre-eminent threat to the safety of General Zod-Obama and his new America - the greatest threat to peace and stability, according to our Secretary of State, is rape.

It had been hoped that when Pre-Obama America was defeated, the undeclared race war that Civil Rights activists had been waging against every institution in America would end. After all, the nation had just elected overwhelmingly a post-racial president in Mein Obama, who would bring about a new understanding of race and an age of nirvana for all the people of the world.

Instead, violence and aggression is rising throughout America, as the transition into "This is a Black World" now, and the ghost of John Brown is ostensibly leading the wanton violence that comes from Black people, aimed directly at those they seek to dispossess.

Stuff Black People Don't Like is working extra hard to chronicle 365Black and if you glance at the contents of this three-month old website, you will see plenty of examples of the strange rise in vicious attacks aimed squarely at stopping those who they have dispossessed from voting.

Rape, as the United Nations is debating, is one of the worst tools of war and in America, the reality of rape is hard to stomach:

"In the 111,590 cases in which the victim of rape or sexual assault was white, 44.5 percent of the offenders were white, and 33.6 percent of the offenders were black. In the 36,620 cases in which the victim of rape or sexual assault was black, 100 percent of the offenders were black, and 0.0 percent of the offenders were white. The table explains that 0.0 percent means that there were under 10 incidents nationally.

The table does not gives statistics for Hispanic victims and offenders. But the bottom line on interracial white/black and black/white rape is clear:

In the United States in 2005, 37,460 white females were sexually assaulted or raped by a black man, while between zero and ten black females were sexually assaulted or raped by a white man.

What this means is that every day in the United States, over one hundred white women are raped or sexually assaulted by a black man."

The election of Mein Obama was a Pyrrhic victory for race relations in America, as Black people called a ceasefire in their undeclared race war against Pre-Obama America to rejoice in his coronation as Zod-Obama.

That ceasefire is off, as recent actions on a St. Louis bus, Boise State's football field, and a casual viewing of the nightly newscast in your city will unfortunately display.

SBPDL is 365Black for a reason, as we believe McDonald's efforts to educate the world about Black people will ultimately fail. The reason? Outside of sports stars, Civil Right agitators and entertainers, Black people haven't done much, thus the reality is all of the Black achievements could be discussed in roughly a 30-minute infomercial on late-night television.

We work hard to fill those other days with the reality of Black America, even in The Age of Obama.

The United Nations is doing a good thing discussing rape in Africa, as the problem in the Congo is getting bad, but still not near American levels:

"Every day, 10 new women and girls who have been raped show up at his hospital. Many have been so sadistically attacked from the inside out, butchered by bayonets and assaulted with chunks of wood, that their reproductive and digestive systems are beyond repair.

“We don’t know why these rapes are happening, but one thing is clear,” said Dr. Mukwege, who works in South Kivu Province, the epicenter of Congo’s rape epidemic. “They are done to destroy women.”

Eastern Congo is going through another one of its convulsions of violence, and this time it seems that women are being systematically attacked on a scale never before seen here. According to the United Nations, 27,000 sexual assaults were reported in 2006 in South Kivu Province alone, and that may be just a fraction of the total number across the country.

“The sexual violence in Congo is the worst in the world,” said John Holmes, the United Nations under secretary general for humanitarian affairs. “The sheer numbers, the wholesale brutality, the culture of impunity — it’s appalling.”

The days of chaos in Congo were supposed to be over. Last year, this country of 66 million people.."
Of course, the copious amounts of rapes by Black people in the Congo and by Black people in the United States has absolute no correlation, but the reality of rape in South Africa is much worse:

"One in four men in South Africa have admitted to rape and many confess to attacking more than one victim, according to a study that exposes the country's endemic culture of sexual violence.

Three out of four rapists first attacked while still in their teens, the study found. One in 20 men said they had raped a woman or girl in the last year.

South Africa is notorious for having one of the highest levels of rape in the world. Only a fraction are reported, and only a fraction of those lead to a conviction."

What does this tell us about Black people, when we are confronted with the numbers from the Congo, South Africa and the United States? It tells us the United Nations is doing a good thing in combating rape and trying to define it as a tool of war, and since the UN is located in New York City, it needs look no further than the United States to view a real war.

Of course, white people in the United States don't really count as a collective people at all, as they are just individuals and previously engaged in open warfare against the indigenous people of America and for centuries raped the colored populations of the world as they tried to take it by force.

So consider the actions of Black people now payback for centuries of being raped by the white man.

Stuff Black People Don't Like includes the United Nations declaring rape a tool of war, for the numbers indicate that 100 white women are raped everyday by Black people in America, a number that correlates to the number of Africans raped in the Congo each day.

A real war is being waged in America - just like in the Congo and if the UN is serious about stopping rape, they need look no further than within the borders of the country that houses that global institution.

#318. Sportsmanship


Sports. The final frontier for Black people. Sports offer "a way out" for Black people who live in broken home without fathers, or in the ghetto surrounded by misery, and the possibility of riches and fame comes with this promise.

In 21st century America, professional and collegiate athletes enjoy not only vast quantities of fiat money, but also fame, endorsement money and the adulation of millions, if not billions of people.

Black people are on the top of the list of highest paid athletes (in numerous sports) and best compensated in terms of endorsement dollars as 60 percent of the top 10 earners in 2008 are Black people.

Sports Illustrated, the most widely-read magazine devoted to sports in the world, routinely puts Black people on their cover:

AthleteNumber of covers
Michael Jordan56
Muhammad Ali38
Tiger Woods30
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar22
Magic Johnson22
Jack Nicklaus22
The adulation and notoriety that follows being on a Sport Illustrated cover is immense and solidifies in the general publics mind the superstar status of these athletic Black people.

Even though obscene amounts of money and fame are bestowed upon Black people who have the uncanny ability to entertain the masses through the cognitively difficult task of shooting a ball through a hoop or running with the football, an aura of bitterness surrounds them.

Take Tiger Woods, the highest paid athlete in the world and arguably the biggest Grouch in the world this side of Sesame Street:

"Tiger Woods has outgrown those Urkel glasses he had as a kid. Outgrown the crazy hair. Outgrown a body that was mostly neck.

When will he outgrow his temper?
"The man is 33 years old, married, the father of two. He is paid nearly $100 million a year to be the representative for some monstrously huge companies, from Nike to Accenture. He is the world's most famous and beloved athlete.
If there were no six-second delay, Tiger Woods would be the reason to invent it. Every network has been burned by having the on-course microphone open when he blocks one right into the cabbage and starts with the F-bombs. Once, at Doral, he unleashed a string of swear words at a photographer that would've made Artie Lange blush, and then snarled, "'The next time a photographer shoots a [expletive] picture, I'm going to break his [expletive] neck!

It's disrespectful to the game, disrespectful to those he plays with and disrespectful to the great players who built the game before him. Ever remember Jack Nicklaus doing it? Arnold Palmer? When Tom Watson was getting guillotined in that playoff to Stewart Cink, did you see him so much as spit?
Despite his pension for using profanity, Tiger Woods was recently rated America's favorite athlete:

Harris surveyed 2,177 U.S. adults online June 8-15. The Harris top five:1. Tiger Woods
2. Michael Jordan
3. LeBron James
4. Kobe Bryant
5. Derek Jeter

LeBron James, one of the worlds best tippers, also is one of the worlds worst sportsman, as he failed to shake the hands of the team that beat him in the NBA Playoffs in 2009:
"All athletes are taught from a young age to be good sports and shake the other team's hands, even if you lose.

LeBron must have skipped that part.

Professional athletes are supposed to be role models for young athletes all over the world. What is a young, aspiring LeBron fan suppose to think when he sees his idol storm off the court without shaking anyone's hand after losing?"
Serena Williams, who looks like the sister/brother of disgraced South African hermaphrodite Caster Semenya, is a superstar tennis player. She was famously disqualified in the 2009 US Open for threatening the judge with bodily harm after the judge awarded a point to her opponent:
"Williams’ subsequent outburst -- during which she glared at the linesperson and reportedly said, among other things, “If I could, I would take this fucking ball and shove it down your fucking throat” -- represented a regrettable loss of composure, but one that, under the circumstances, was somewhat understandable."
Here at SBPDL we have recently discussed the Boise State-Oregon football game, when a Black player- Lagarrette Blount - punched a white player after his team lost 19-8; the Miami-Florida International college football riot; the 2008 Montgomery Riot at a high school basketball game, and we will continue to discuss events that highlight Black people in situations that fit a clear behavioral pattern.

After all, who can forget the infamous incident between Latrell Spreweell (Black player) and his white coach PJ Carlesimo, when the basketball player went UFC and tried to choke his coach out?

A cursory glance at ESPN provides a cornucopia of highlights for the masses to indulge in and also provides the masses with incredible examples of Black people acting like the kid whose parents refuse to buy him a new toy:
"Brandon Marshall, openly unhappy with the Denver Broncos, was suspended by the team through Sept. 5 for what coach Josh McDaniels called "detrimental" conduct."
Black people have a profound ability to display selfishness, unsportsmanlike conduct and fascinating indifference to the rules and we must always remember young people believe that sports and the athletes who participate in these games set a wonderful example for young people to emulate.

Charles Barkley, a former professional basketball player turned perennial DUI suspect, had this to say about athletes being deemed role models:
"I'm not a role model... Just because I dunk a basketball doesn't mean I should raise your kids."
Barkley is wrong. Kids (and adults sadly) are greatly influenced by what they see on television and Black people know this very well. Perhaps that is why COPS, a long running television show about real-life police officers, has aided Black people in helping them craft their criminal vocations?

Sportsmanship is defined as:

"conformance to the rules, spirit, and etiquette of sport. More grandly, it may be considered the ethos of sport. It is interesting that the motivation for sport is often an elusive element. Sportsmanship expresses an aspiration or ethos that the activity will be enjoyed for its own sake, with proper consideration for fairness, ethics, respect, and a sense of fellowship with one's competitors. Being a "good sport" involves being a "good winner" as well as being a "good loser"."

Stuff Black People Don't Like includes sportsmanship, for only Serena Williams would threaten a judge with a tennis ball being shoved down her throat; Tiger Woods can enthrall millions with precise shoots, but cause everyone to wince when in earshot of his famous profanity-laced tirades that would make even George Carlin blush.

And to think, we didn't even mention Michael Vick in this post. Oops.

#544. The Memory of that Miami - Florida International Riot


Continuing our drive to make SBPDL the ultimate 365Black destination, a rehashing of a previous story is in order so as to explain the importance of today’s entry.

College football kicked off last week and people of all races were glued to the television screens as ratings for the opening weekend reached record highs:

“The NCAA season kicked off Thursday, Sept. 3, with a matchup between unranked South Carolina and N.C. State, which drew 3.26 million viewers between 7 p.m. and 10:04 p.m. The Gamecocks’ sloppy 7-3 victory outdrew ESPN’s 2008 season opener by 38 percent.”

“A nine-minute edition of College Game day Scoreboard drew 3.89 million viewers, leading into the Boise St.-Oregon throw down (3.86 million viewers).

“For the week ended Sept. 6, ESPN drew an average nightly audience of 3.73 million total viewers, per Nielsen live-plus-same-day ratings. The network also swept the three core TV demos, drawing 1.87 million adults 25-54, 1.8 million viewers 18-49 and 818,000 18-34s.”

During the opening weekend of college football, a seemingly isolated incident transpired in Boise, Idaho, as the Boise State Broncos defeated Oregon 19-8. Black running back Lagarrette Blount of Oregon decided to sucker punch a white player from Boise State and then challenge everyone in his path.

Seemingly isolated until you weave this incident into an interesting pattern that has been repeating itself in college football games in the 21st century as Black people causing massive riots during games is now a common sight.

Blount was suspended for the season for his actions after the Boise State game, but in the annals of thuggery and football his actions barely elicit a blip.

In the 2006 Miami-Florida International football game, a brawl broke out between the nearly all-Black teams that took more than five minutes to breakup and ended in the suspension of 31 total player s(all-Black people) from the combined squads:

“With 9 minutes left in the 3rd quarter, Miami H-back James Bryant caught a 5-yard touchdown pass…

During the ensuing PAT attempt, FIU safety Chris Smith wrestled Miami holder Matt Perelli (white player) to the ground after the kick and appeared to punch him in the chin. FIU cornerback, Marshall McDuffie, Jr., kicked Perelli in the head.Miami players, including Calais Campbell, came to Perelli's defense, separating Miami and FIU players. FIU's Lionel Singleton punched Campbell in the back of the helmet, which was quickly followed by retaliation from both teams, escalating the fight to a bench-clearing brawl. Miami's Anthony Reddick swung his helmet at FIU players and Miami's Brandon Meriweather kicked an FIU player. FIU's A'Mod Ned, who was injured, came onto the field and swung at Miami players with his crutches. The fight lasted less than two minutes with Florida Highway Patrol State Troopers and FIU Police coming onto the field to restore order.

Officials needed several minutes to sort out the penalties. Ultimately, 13 players were assessed 15-yard penalties for fighting and ejected from the game (eight from FIU and five from Miami). Although the unsportsmanlike conduct penalties for fighting offset each other, Miami was forced to kick off from its own 10-yard line due to the original penalty against Bryant (penalized at half the distance to the goal).”









The incident made national headlines and was replayed on ESPN and other sports channels over and over again and of those 31 players who were suspended, all were Black people:

  • For FIU: cornerback Marshall McDuffie, Jr., cornerback Chris Smith, offensive lineman Michael Alls, offensive linemen Chad Sales, linebacker Mannie Wellington, linebacker Michael Dominguez, linebacker Scott Bryant, defensive lineman Roland Clarke, fullback John Ellis, defensive back Cory Fleming, defensive lineman Reginald Jones, defensive back Robert Mitchell, linebacker Quentin Newman, defensive lineman Luis Pena, defensive end Jarvis Penerton, running back Julian Reams, defensive back Lionell Singleton, tight end Samuel Smith and wide receiver Chandler Williams
  • For Miami: cornerback Carlos Armour, offensive tackle Chris Barney, H-back James Bryant, offensive tackle Tyrone Byrd, tight end DajLeon Farr, wide receiver Ryan Hill, cornerback Bruce Johnson, running back Charlie Jones, safety Brandon Meriweather, punter Brian Monroe, offensive guard Derrick Morse, cornerback Randy Phillips and safety Anthony Reddick

Miami ended up winning the game, but the evidence to support the notion that the University of Miami is the quintessential “THUG U” was cemented forever.

In 2003, a prominent Black player for Miami, Kellen Winslow, went on record as being a soldier for THUG U and more importantly, articulated a code of conduct that Black people at all schools live by:

"Yeah, I don't give a hell. It's about this U, man. I don't give a flyin' you-know-what about a Vol. I don't give a damn! He would do the same thing to me. It's war. They don't give a freakin' you-know-what about you. They will kill you. They're out there to kill you. So I'm 'a kill 'em. You write that in the paper. You write that. You make money off that. No, man, I'm pissed. All y'all take this down. I'm pissed, man. We don't care about nobody except this U. We don't. If I didn't hurt him, he'd hurt me. They were gunnin' for my legs. I'm 'a come right back at 'em. I'm a fuckin' soldier!"

Black people would love for the story of rioting and college football to end here, but in 2004 a brawl occurred during the rivalry game between Historically White Colleges the University of South Carolina and Clemson University, which both field nearly all-Black teams:

“…a massive fight resulted during the after two Clemson players hit a South Carolina wide receiver on the helmet after an incomplete pass with 5:56 left to go in the fourth quarter [2][3]. Some players on the field from both teams engaged in shoving and punching and both benches practically cleared as chaos erupted on the field. State Troopers, as well as other local law enforcement officers, entered the field to restore order. No fans ever entered the field. Play was suspended for six minutes.

"The fight overshadowed the last game Lou Holtz participated in as Carolina's head coach, as he retired at the end of the season. Holtz quoted that he "is going to be remembered along with [former Ohio State coach] Woody Hayes for having a fight at the Clemson game". Holtz then handed the coaching reins to Steve Spurrier. Clemson won the game 29-7.”

Black people have a historic record of rioting in major cities in United States and this has carried over into the football stadiums on college campuses where thousands of white people now pay to watch these riots occur for their enjoyment.

Stuff Black People Don’t Like includes the memory of that Miami – Florida International riot, for it shows that the Blount incident at Boise is not an isolated occurrence. Rioting and unsportsmanlike activity is a part of college football and the pervasive THUG U mentality helps to ensure that it stays that way.

#457. The "Doak Walker Award" Name


The 2009 college football season has started and already we have one causality: LaGarrette Blount. He has been suspended for the 2009 season for assaulting a white Boise State player after that team was victorious over Blount's Oregon Ducks 19-8.

Unfortunately, his suspension removes him from contention for the Doak Walker Award, given annual to the nation's top running back. Blount was expected to compete for that distinction, but his well-place right hand leaves him more suited for the Octagon of the UFC.

Who was Doak Walker, you might ask?

Doak Walker was a famous running back for Southern Methodist University, where he was an All-American and a Heisman Trophy winner:

"Walker attended Southern Methodist University (SMU), where he played running back, defensive back, and place kicker. He also threw and caught passes, punted, and returned kicks. Walker's impact on SMU and football in the Dallas area led to the Cotton Bowl being referred to as "The House That Doak Built." Walker was also a member of Phi Delta Theta Fraternity and lettered on the SMU basketball and baseball teams. In 2007, he was ranked #4 on ESPN's list of the top 25 players In college football history."
However, a problem exists, as Walker played football and went to college in Pre-Obama America and more importantly, well before integration. You see, Walker is a white person that played running back and still has his name attached to the trophy given to the top collegiate running back every year - a position that is dominated by Black people:
"There are 117 colleges playing Division I-A football in 2004, and none was scheduled to start a white tailback this weekend. Two schools -- Nevada, with Chance Kretschmer, and UAB, with Dan Burks -- have starting white tailbacks who are injured. Kretschmer, who rushed for 1,732 yards and 15 touchdowns as a freshman in 2001, received no scholarship offers and attended Nevada as a walk-on. Burks was a star high school player in Birmingham who was thought to be too slow to play for any "major" school."
In college football, rarely do we see the strange sight of the white running back, an oddity on par with the Black professional golfer or swimmer. Luke Staley of Brigham Young University was the last white running back to win the coveted Doak Walker Award (in 2001) and if Black people have their way, the last for a long time.

Many college football teams haven't had a white starting tailback for decades and this entrenched dominance by Black people appears to be set in stone:

"When Florida State Coach Bobby Bowden was asked to explain the decline of the white running back, he laughed so hard, he actually grabbed on to the reporter posing the question. When NFL spokesman Greg Aiello was asked whether the league kept statistics on white running backs -- perhaps the same way the league does on its black coaches -- he was incredulous.

"White running backs?" he says, laughing. "No."

Sam McGuffie, a high school star running back out of Texas, was signed by Michigan and immediately had a chance to start for team that would finish 3-9 in 2008. However, few school's looked at him, because yes, he is a white guy:
"Michigan hasn't had a white player start at tailback since Rob Lytle in 1976, which also was the last time a white tailback led the Maize and Blue in rushing..."I really don't have too much to say about that," said McGuffie, who ran for 1,711 yards and 23 touchdowns as a senior at Cy-Fair High School in Cypress, Texas, and gained YouTube fame for hurdling a defender. "If you can play the position, you can play the position."
In that same article quoted above, this quotation stands out as to Black people's belief as to why so few white running backs get a chance in college football, and why the Doak Walker Award should be renamed for a Black running back:
"I don't ever want to put a spin on it and say it's profiling," said Floyd Keith, the executive director of the Black Coaches Association. "I think it has a lot to do with the quality of player."
There have been a number of talented white running backs this past decade that refute Mr. Keith's stance, but the Black executive director the BCA has only one goal: to ensure that Black people populate as much of college football (players and coaches) as possible.

Numerous talented white players have played running back for major colleges this decade including: Tre Smith and Heath Evans at Auburn University; Brock Forsey at Boise State; Toby Gerhart of Stanford; Chance Kretschmer of Nevada; Peyton Hillis of Arkansas and Brian Leonard of Rutgers:
"I didn't get as many carries, and I could have come out after my junior season, but I felt that I wanted to go back and help Rutgers become a championship program," Leonard said. "The scouts know that I can carry the football as well as catch it and block it, even if I didn't carry it as much last season."


None of these players formed a White Running Back Association (WRBA) to ensure that white players trying to play running back are treated equitably, and they played a position that Black people believe it is their birthright to play.

However, one name does stand out among the rest of the white running backs as being the supreme player for a team that won the 2007 BCS national championship; Jacob Hester of the Louisiana State Tigers:

"LSU won the BCS national championship in college football, defeating Ohio State 38-24, with a white runner as its primary ballcarrier. Is this the first time in the history of the BCS? Jacob Hester had a standard Jacob Hester game against #1 ranked Ohio St., rushing for 86 yards on 21 carriers, finishing with over 1100 yards for the season."
Hester led LSU to the national title and was looked at as one of the top players of the 2007 season and found himself the subject of a Sports Illustrated cover-story:
"The consummate throwback player, the 6-foot, 224-pound Hester is a gifted inside runner and underrated receiver who'd sooner run over a would-be tackler than sidestep him or slap that defender's helmet in good sportsmanship than beat his own chest. Such selflessness can seem downright antique by today's standards. "
Later in that same article, a telling statement was made by Hester, as he related a tale about Black people and their defense of the ownership of the tailback position:
"Still, there have been other instances in which Hester has removed his helmet without meaning to pull a fast one—like when he's trying to towel off the part of him that is most an anachronism: his white face.

"The fact is, in today's game, it's rare to see a white running back playing the role of dominant rusher on a college football team, let alone a national champion. And Hester hears about it. In 2006, after shedding his headgear during a first-quarter timeout against Tennessee, Vols linebacker Jerod Mayo reacted as if he had seen a ghost. Said Mayo to Hester, "Shouldn't you be playing running back for Air Force?' "
The Air Force Academy still has rigorous standards, and the football team almost always starts 22 white players, thus the question from Mayo to Hester.

We have been discussing college football this week at length, because the game dominates the thinking of so many people in this country and yet, so few Black people would be attending major college's were not for the fact that they play football.

Sports are the only manner in which many white people come in contact with Black people (largely through their television) and the games help shape people's attitudes toward them in a very positive manner.

Stuff Black People Don't Like, however, includes the "Doak Walker Award" name, for white people playing tailback is a silly notion, considering that Black people dominate the position and how few white people actually play that position now. Remember, the goal in THE AGE OF OBAMA is to make everything Black - coaches and players a like - and any vestige of Pre-Obama America must be swept into the dustbin of history.

Or, if white guys want to play tailback, they can play for the Air Force Academy. We do need fighter pilots still.
