Alabama, Louisianna, Mississipi...Holy Trinity :jawalrus:

This kinda of sht still goes on down there.
I would put Georgia instead of Louisiana. Next to Mississippi, GA has the most black lynchings. I heard some terrible horror stories about the shyt that went down in GA after Reconstruction.

In all honesty, how could you blame him? Black people from your fathers generation saw SO MUCH shyt that no one our age or younger can ever understand...it's crazy.

I swear, if I grew up back then, I would have been one of the whites walking in Montgomery, Alabama for civil rights equality instead of just some slightly apathetic white dude who doesn't always see the forest through the trees when it comes to racial inequality.

The shyt that went on in this country is so far beyond embarrassing, it's hard to describe.
My grandad refused to move back down south. Even when he got sick and his brothers and sisters down south were begging for him to move back down there so that they could take care of him, he still would rather live in crime ridden Flint than be cared for in Mississippi.

I guess we're in too deep to turn back.

I want to know how did black schools go from winning ncaa championships to giving scholarships to 1-star recruits.

An HBCU has never won a national championship. The NCAA, just like any other white operated entity practiced a lot of discrimination and blacks schools would not dare apply to enter D1 sports for decades. Even today, if a school like Howard applied, they would need to apply to enter a conference and those schools within that conference vote on who they want in. HBCUs are missing out on millions of dollars that they can make to improve their schools.

Mississippi will spend an extra $500 million on its three historically black colleges to settle a desegregation lawsuit filed 26 years ago, according to a deal announced today between the state, the Justice Department and plaintiffs.

In 1975, the late Jake Ayers Sr. filed a federal lawsuit on behalf on his son Jake Jr., a student at Jackson State University, and other students at Mississippi's black, public four-year colleges. Ayers and other plaintiffs claimed black colleges did not receive the same funding as predominantly white colleges and that the black universities could only be made more enticing to students with increased state funding. The Justice Department later joined Ayers and the other plaintiffs in the lawsuit.

The lawsuit sought to improve the academic programs and facilities at Mississippi's three historically black colleges — Jackson State, Alcorn State, and Mississippi Valley State — by forcing the state to boost funding.

A legislative watchdog panel this month gave a generally rosy report about how Mississippi is meeting its obligations in a decades-old college desegregation case, but a closer examination reveals flaws with a private endowment that has failed to reach its goals.

what am I thinking about then? division II?

didn't Tennessee state go to a final four or something?

I guess it would have to be a progression. the better the conferences they enter, the better recruits they get. and I mean, lets say that one of them eventually enter the SEC. you'd have to be a str8 up c00n for an hbcu not to be your 1st choice in that conference.

I remember somebody on here said that the atlantic 10 wanted morgan state in the '90s but morgan didn't want to break up the hbcus

Tennessee state is in the OVC championship like every year.

which 30/30 episode are ya'll referring to?

I think its called "ghosts of Mississippi".
