Two kids applying from private catholic high school to college. The White kids father is one of the top Surgeons in California and the mother doesn't work. The kid has a 3.8gpa and has played 4 years of a varsity contact sport. Has played on the USA western team, was accepted to the prestigious Annapolis (Navy) summer seminar, etc. He had quite a portfolio, not to mention being a national sailing champion at a young age.

His Friend: Was black, both parents were doctors and they had a very high income. He had no significant sport or academic achievement and had a 3.4 through most of high school.

He ended up getting a scholarship to Harvard and going there the following year.

Not one white kid with under a 4.2gpa got into harvard from my school. While countless black students (not sport related) got into CAL with below 3.5 gpa's, I'd need a 3.9 or better to get into cal as a white person.

So in the end, who is really benefiting? The white kid who has to work and study harder? or The black kid who faces lower standards and therefore doesn't need to be as smart or hard working?

Sounds like the damn Unions, protecting the weak and lazy except that is a good GPA...but not for Harvard. If you get fired because you can't do your job you just go tell your local union rep and get right back to work.
ohhhhh to be a union worker!!! [Big Grin]
i wanna eat twinkies and bs all day why is it so hard for the real workers to get in????

I'm a union worker [Razz]

What you fail to see is that regardless of your color you still have the opportunity to use and be apart of what was used to combat racism and prejudice at the time...The difference is that today with integration of sports someone wants to take a gigantic step backward and go back to segregating sports...Just because you can do it does not make it right...
is there an echo, this is how i feel about these black only groups.
i understand why they were, but i dont understand why they are.
does that make sense?

Probably because you believe that if you wanted to be a part of one of these groups today they would discriminate against you because of the color of your skin and that is not true...That is what they never were and that is what they aren't today...

Honestly, the only reason this situation exist is because at one time people in positions of power were racially irresponsible and would use an applicants ethnicity as a determining factor on whether an applicant was accepted. Schools then instituted a system to deter this type of prejudice and racism which was not perfect but helped.

Regarding your specific situation there is no telling what schools are looking for in their applicants...Your personal achievements, GPA, parents, SAT, ACT, personal references and essay all play a role, maybe the african american students had lower GPA's but excelled in other areas...but since your white it was reverse racism...Honestly at the end of the day it does not matter where u get your degree from, but what u do with it.

I just noticed this topic and to be honest I havent even opened the link yet but I don't see anything wrong with an all white league. They have black colleges, they have hispanic colleges. Now I think people are making a big deal cuz this guy is white and wants to start an all white league. Would it be a problem if the man was black and wanted to start a black league? I bet not. I am Puerto Rican and I know there are some Puerto Rican/Hispanic baseball leagues. And as far as white people not being able to play the game is completely BS. I play the game and also coach a HS basketball team. Ive seen white guys completely torch guys on the court. Just cuz you don't see white people other than Brent Barry winning dunk contests (I bet most people forgot about that and yes the guy dunked from the free throw line ala Michael Jordan) they still got skills. Basketball aint about how high you can jump or the color of your skin. Ive went out and tryed playin in pick up games only to be picked over some sorry dudes cuz im a brown guy. They eventually figured out that color doesnt matter when I made people look silly!

lmao you are late than a mofo. Read the effin link too. And black colleges do not prohibit any other races. I went to a back college and we had a white dude on our basketball team, plenty of multinationals on coampus. We had a chinese dude in our BSU (black student union).

My God man, educate yourself. Remember it is better to keep ones my closed and let people assume your ignorance, than to open ones mouth and erase all doubt.

For those genuinely interested OTL had a real good segment on this topic. Well kinda related, but talking about in the NBA. I really couldnt put together a roster of white players that would be able to compete or that I would watch.

I didnt disrespect, but I also wouldn't speak so matter of factly about something I have no clue about. Like you will not catch me telling folks what engine combos to run as I have no clue. So why would someone with no clue about a black college speak on their admittance prerequisites? Also why would someone speak on the topic without reading the article? And you should be the last one calling someone arrogant..lmao.

Also you obviously quoted before I narrowed the scope of my comment. As I did realize it was a bit too general and could be perceived as disrespectful/arrogant.

Oh and just to support what Batmobile said about ballers. Yes I know of some terrific ballers that are white, asian or whatever. So I would never say that whites cannot ball. But a league of them I think is a far stretch. And to not consider any of European descent is even more absurd. The Euros are ballin these days.

I tried to stay out of this one LoL, But as I was reading all the comments, I was hoping someone would bring up the main point!!! I saw post saying they have their BET, NAACP, Black colleges. Whats wrong with an all white league? First off why did these all black organizations start in the first place? Because when they did Blacks could not join White groups so they had to start their own. So it is not the same as in 2010 an all white league. Because the NBA has white players in it. This guy didn't say hey lets start a league with good players who are not criminals or dumb asses with their money. He said they have to be pure breed white players. Both parents have to be pure breed & if you know anything almost 70% of America is mixed with something LoL. So thats not going to work. I think the good old boys just wish they could get their sport back before blacks were not allowed to play. Once again thats how the harlem globetrotters came into play because they could not enter the NBA at that point. So please stop looking for black organizations to say hey whats the difference since they have their all black stuff! They only do because back then the whites would not let them in theirs. Now if the NBA had a rule where no white players could be in the league then I'm all for an all white league! But that is not the case so this idea is dumb as fuck. Nobody should be held out of anything because of the color of their skin!! So maybe he should change the league to be based on the players personalities rather than their skin color. Thats like trying to have an all blk or white color muscle car ride out because we are tired of all the doughnuts & stupid stuff done at some!! What people have to realize that MEN of all color do dumb shit. Their are wht guys in the NBA that almost fucked up their lives & hurt their teams image like the bird man in Denver. He was on drugs & did alot of bad things got kicked out & cleaned himself up & got let back in. But you did not see the media jump on that shit but if a black guy does dumb shit its front page news so kick him out the league & never let him back in!! LoL The media shows alot of stuff one sided so in most mind their is only 1 race that does dumb shit. But hey that will never stop, We as people have to use are better judgments & realize we will only get better if we all get better together. So lets stop the bullshit & do shit as people & not as just a race!!

I am Puerto Rican and I know there are some Puerto Rican/Hispanic baseball leagues. And as far as white people not being able to play the game is completely BS. I play the game and also coach a HS basketball team. Ive seen white guys completely torch guys on the court. Just cuz you don't see white people other than Brent Barry winning dunk contests (I bet most people forgot about that and yes the guy dunked from the free throw line ala Michael Jordan) they still got skills. Basketball aint about how high you can jump or the color of your skin. Ive went out and tryed playin in pick up games only to be picked over some sorry dudes cuz im a brown guy. They eventually figured out that color doesnt matter when I made people look silly!

lmao you are late than a mofo. Read the effin link too. And black colleges do not prohibit any other races. I went to a back college and we had a white dude on our basketball team, plenty of multinationals on coampus. We had a chinese dude in our BSU (black student union).

My God man, educate yourself. Remember it is better to keep ones my closed and let people assume your ignorance, than to open ones mouth and erase all doubt.

For those genuinely interested OTL had a real good segment on this topic. Well kinda related, but talking about in the NBA. I really couldnt put together a roster of white players that would be able to compete or that I would watch.

oh and BTW, I do not mean you are ignorant period, just on the topic you mentioned.

I think you are the one that needs to educate himself and pull the wool from over your eyes. Let me start by giving you a standing ovation for going to a black college and having more knowledge then me and being able to quote something that someone else wrote. Beleive me, you don't know my education and even if I had no education at all I could see that all ethnic groups have racist people amoung them. I am Latino and my GF is black, 70% of the people I grew up with are black and it doesnt take a college degree to know that all races have racist people amoung them. Ive heard things come out of my friends mouths that if it were a white person sayin it.... there would have been a riot!!! Here is a quote for you and it didnt take years of college for me to learn... Whats good for the goose... must I finish? I think you get the point.

Ok but you made a ill-advised point about black colleges to support a point. Thats all I was addressing. What is worse you coach HS, which is the level before college. Prior to this topic it sounds like if you had a white player whom wanted to go the black college route, you would have been completely oblivious to the fact he could attend Morehouse, Clark or Howard if he wanted to. So I apologized if you took offense but I now believe it was a worth while clean up. Because now you may be able to better service your youngsters.

Like I said my ignorance statement was confined to the black college entrance prereqs and hte fact that you did not read the article. Read it then let us know what you think. As you stated I have no clue of your education level outside of this you could be a genius.

Whats wrong with an all white league? First off why did these all black organizations start in the first place? Because when they did Blacks could not join White groups so they had to start their own. So it is not the same as in 2010 an all white league. Because the NBA has white players in it. This guy didn't say hey lets start a league with good players who are not criminals or dumb asses with their money. He said they have to be pure breed white players. Both parents have to be pure breed & if you know anything almost 70% of America is mixed with something LoL. So thats not going to work. I think the good old boys just wish they could get their sport back before blacks were not allowed to play. Once again thats how the harlem globetrotters came into play because they could not enter the NBA at that point. So please stop looking for black organizations to say hey whats the difference since they have their all black stuff! They only do because back then the whites would not let them in theirs.

this............except one thing, remembering is one thing but holing on is another!
just the classification of a one race organization, no matter who they let in, leaves a bad tast in anyones mouth!
with your above comment you should have no problem seeing the reality and truth in mine.

FR50 we have went back & forth at times on these kind of topics LoL But I do understand your views & accept them aswell. I was just hitting on the point that some people act like its ok in 2010 to start any organization with Race being the main drive for its existence. I know stuff was bad in the past at diffrent times but the only way we can move forward if we stop the mistakes of the past to have a better future & that league is something of the past right??

No big deal, we both just have different views on things. Thats what makes America great. As you noticed tho I did put Hispanic colleges as well as African american colleges.
