After binge watching Last Chance U, my stance on HBCU's have changed.

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

Watching that show made me realize a lot for the better and worse. Most black athletes in the south are not conditioned to value education whatsoever and it's sad. A lot of those players were naturally blessed physically but are mentally weak. I now realize that going to a school like an Alabama is necessary at times because

1. Players need to be exposed to different races and different cultures. Going to an HBCU keeps them in that same comfort level most of the time.

2. They provide a different supposed system and structure they an HBCU won't provide.

3. If they don't make it to the league, the opportunity to have a more recognizable school to put on your resume helps.


Lastly, I realized that one of the reaapns for us wanting to integrate in the first place was to prove that we could compete with white students academically. The Real problem is on the high school level where predominantly black schools don't condition academic excellence. Only sports. And that's sad. I can't hate a black high school football player in the south wanting to go to an SEC school if that's where to best black players are all going.

And I can't knock them for not going to an HBCU if they don't even value academics. HBCUs were originally intended to be higher education outlets for black people.

Ok, but maybe someway someday we can figure it out en masse, and not be so easily influence and brainwashed into thinking the whiteman's ice is colder.

 

[MJ Truth]

This really is a trash thread.

Yes and no, more so no....

Judging all black athletes based on a few nikkas at last chance u is a reach, a lot of kids at these schools are smart, having 3.2’s and higher, some graduating early and enrolling in college level classes early. You even have some of these kids leaving college with a masters, or post graduate education.

There will always be kids, who thank god for sports, because yes they might be fukked up with little to no options, if they get a degree/get to the league, and get money to propel their children, to get a better education, then they won, however you want to look at it, the Big D1 programs get them to the league easier. But trust it’s plenty of nikkas at hbcu who’s in the same boat, just didn’t have as much talent or the right people behind them, and the HBCU’s are taking them period.

The education system as a whole is fukked up, and many a kid gets pushed through, not just sports stars, HBCU’s have helped these kids uplift their education and graduate them with opportunities,

Based on my experiences in high school there are a lot of kids with that mentality.

And u can't deny the correlation between a lack the emphasis on education and the percentage of black athletes who squander their money. If you don't have a solid foundation, it doesn't matter how talented you are, whatever you build on it will collapse eventually.

Exactly.

Especially when HBCUs do a better job of graduating their athletes than PWIs.

Pure trash

Why do you think that is? MOST HBCU athletes are there because they weren't talented enough to go to a power 5 school. They stay to develop as athletes and are also more realistic with their pro prospects. They know that they need s plan b which is getting their degree.

On the flip side, most power 5 athletes from the time they sign their letter of intent are conditioned to believe they will go pro. They don't value the education side as much. It is what it is.

Their used to be a time where all college athletes went to school for 4 years. Money at the pro level changed all of that.

 

[MegaTronBomb!]

Wait..... a community college that's done all the things we told you that HBCU's should do re: athletes is making you re-evaluate your position on wanting a generation of kids to sacrifice their careers to see your dream come true?

This is an even worse take than the one you've usually rocked with

Your experience isn’t everyone’s, again there are many a kid who graduates with a 3.0 and higher, and early even enrolling in those colleges early, taking the draconian educational tract that they shove down our throat will not prepare a man coming from nothing to having millions, with millions of hands out

If their parents aren’t prepared to handle that money surely their kids are not, and taking algebra English and business classes will not prepare you for that, it’s a different game when you have millions, especially taxes and understanding how much money you bring home, and how your pay is dispensed. And most importantly telling people no, or how to smartly invest their money.

But again that has nothing to do with going to an HBCU or Pwi, if you aren’t prepared going to either one will serve you no good, so this pushes the conversation further away from your topic

Negative i had dudes at my school thinking they could get drafted, from a small HBCU no less, we had two dudes get a solid look, one actually made a team for a minute, but he got hurt twice tearing his acls but he got the looks because he ran a 4.3

So if they got dreams at my school, i know they had them at bigger HBCU, and concentrating on what, most kids in sports at hbcu are political science, mass communication, business, or physical education so a lot of them have the same basket weaving degree that they do at pwi’s

And if I’m at Alabama or insert major D1 program, then hell yeah i think i got a shot

Wait..... a community college that's done all the things we told you that HBCU's should do re: athletes is making you re-evaluate your position on wanting a generation of kids to sacrifice their careers to see your dream come true?

It’s early fam he had February fatigue, he will be back to full form by September just in time for college football

Why do they need to be exposed to different races?
you’re not going to see “culture” at Alabama or Arizona

The idea that I schooled with white folks “expoosed” me more when more often than not it was black students at these schools hanging together amongst themselves.

These anti HBCU folks aren’t about shyt man.

 

[MikelArteta]

um last chance u is not even about a hbcu so i don't know how you would make that connection
