Nice try Dwight but wrong. Everybody knows colleges and universities ONLY look at black students regardless of whether there is a white player who is equally qualified to play the same position. Colleges could care less about the background of the black player or whether he will graduate, they ONLY care about adhering to and advancing affirmative action.

I’ve seen white kids not play because they know the system is rigged against them going further. Some end up playing Div. IAA, II, III or NAIA and thankfully those divisions have not been ruined by the thugs in Div. I. But these kids will most likely never go pro.

“The most compelling reason to tolerate some affirmative action is that in many walks of life, from Little League on, nepotism and friend-of-a-friend cronyism control the borderline.”

That gem is one of the most inane rationalizations I have read in justifying what amounts to de facto racism in the form of affirmative action. You are justifying one wrong by using another. Wow, I am so glad the left has you on their side.

Put another way, if AA is so correct in its mission how come the MSM is NOT hiring more blacks and hispanics to fill upper level editorial positions or WH reporters; how come colleges/universities’ staffs and professorshps are not MORE black/hispanic; how come even the lefty-progressive 527s are dominated by whites; and finally how come even the most ardent supporter of AA by progressive Demonrats still have staffs dominated by whites???
