Jemele Hill: Black Athletes Need to Leave White Colleges
Breitbart ^ | 9/05/19 | WARNER TODD HUSTON5

Posted on 09/05/2019 8:15:25 PM PDT by Libloather

In a piece for the magazine’s October issue, Hill insists that black athletes are doing blacks no good by allowing “white” colleges to use the student’s athletic prowess to raise funds to benefit the college.

After noting that 2018’s top college prospect Kayvon Thibodeaux brought a lot of notoriety to a historically black college when he was looking colleges over, Hill pointed out that the NCAA and the “white” colleges that participate in the conference make billions a year off the sweat of black athletes.

“Almost all of these schools are majority white,” Hill disparagingly wrote, “in fact, black men make up only 2.4 percent of the total undergraduate population of the 65 schools in the so-called Power Five athletic conferences. Yet black men make up 55 percent of the football players in those conferences, and 56 percent of basketball players.”

This disparity works against majority black colleges, Hill says.

None of ‘em are going to give up first round NFL money to toil away at Florida A&M or Southern.

The modern black segregationists won’t be happy til they have “colored only” water fountains and a new Negro League.

Those black sororities and fraternities have been like that a long time. Nobody dares touch them, even when they are accused of hazing their rushes in violation of University policy.

She is really “out there” these days. Any chance she is related to Marc Lamont Hill?

Hill should have added, “some white students feel safer, both physically and emotionally, on an HWCU campus—all the more so as racial tensions have risen in recent years. Navigating a predominantly black campus as a white student can feel isolating, even for athletes.”

Oh wait, there are no Historically White colleges/universities allowed any more...

Some black athletes complain of bias at BYU

At BYU, where blacks make up 0.6 percent of the student body, some athletes say they feel disenfranchised.

Perfect. Let the black colleges foot the bill to get them national exposure for the NFL draft. Without it, most would-be players will have to actually rely on what they learn at that black school.

They can join the Millenials in line for jobs at Starbucks, or whatever their customer-service-job-of-choice is.
