I thought this is what we were supposed to be avoiding?
It looks more and more here that there is only one side of this debate that is accepted here. I state my viewpoint and I'm called uneducated. Another did the same, he was labeled as inbred. We know what would happen if I called rockchisler some random slur. I would be booted from the site post haste I think. So why the double standard in what is considered acceptable? Is that how it is here?
HW because everyone knows they are? Really? Have any specific schools in mind?
If I go to one of these HBC's, you think I wouldn't notice what it is as well? You think I wouldn't notice that 90% of the student population was black? In a country where blacks are less than 15% of the population? Of course most schools will be made up of a majority of white students----because the country is--for now! So what about in 50 years, when whites are officially the minority? Do these schools then have the right to refer to themselves as HWC's, that would be ok with you? I doubt it.
And what makes this even more ridiculous is that these 'white' schools you folks are ragging on about go to crazy lengths to attract black students. A black student with a 27 ACT score will have a MUCH easier time getting a scholarship than a white student with the same score. Ever here of the United Negro College Fund? As a white kid, there was nothing available to me that wasn't available to a black kid.
Guys like MLK died so that future generations would not have to live in the environment he did. And yet, more and more it seems that blacks are segregating themselves in many ways. This game is very small example of that, but an example just the same.
As of yet, no one has been able to squarely answer this question that has been asked now by more than one:
If the game was White College Football, would you be cool with that? If Notre Dame referred to itself as a historically white school, would you be cool with that?
Yes or No. Would you be cool with that? Any answer other than yes or no is avoiding the question.
And I have to agree with the guy above who told OS that this is exactly what should have been expected from this article. If you don't want this type of debate on your website, then the element should never have been introduced.
