It’s time to start to listen to this constant litany of “X is just like slavery”.
On the one hand, no, starting for Duke as an apprenticeship to pro ball (I agree the “education” is worthless) is NOT like slavery.
But I believe for many American blacks, performing a service, ANY service, however well compensated for “the man” IS exactly “like slavery”, and once understood this way, it’s one more piece of evidence that people who feel this way can’t coexist with people who don’t.
Duke offers a basketball camp under the umbrella of a university. I am sure they meet the NCAA minimums, but it is laughable to believe they meet the academic standards of the rest of the student body.
