Worse, with the unbelievable amount of money spent on educating and tutoring athlete-students to stay eligible, the numbers of Black people receiving degrees as compared to white athletes belie a most distressing reality:.

But there still is the issue of the differing graduation rates for white and African-American football players: This year, the graduation success rate for African-American football student-athletes is 59 percent, which is the same as The GSR for white football student-athletes went from 76 percent in to 77 percent this year. This resulted in a 1 percent increase in the gap 17 to 18 percent. The overall football student-athlete GSR improved slightly from Part of it is such a huge percentage of African-Americans are coming from urban school districts where the education available is nowhere near the education in suburban areas.

Stories of star Black college athletes getting easy grades to stay eligible are so common they have become part of the accepted writ of passage an athlete gets at college. Have you seen the film, Invictus? What brought about the end of apartheid in South Africa? Sports and rugby would be the answer, for rugby is the opiate of the white South Africans:.

John Carlin, author of "Playing the Enemy," said Mandela used the World Cup final to win the allegiance of a group of people who had largely applauded his year imprisonment, and threatened to push South Africa into a civil war.

Afrikaners are the descendents of the Dutch pioneers that settled South Africa in the 17th century. They became the primary enforcers of apartheid, a brutal system of racial segregation. In his book, Carlin described Pienaar as the "big blonde son of apartheid," a 6-foot-4, pound man who grew up worshipping the violent sport of rugby, an obsession for many Afrikaners.

Rugby is known as "the opium of the Afrikaner," says Carlin. College Football is the opiate of white America and the door to success in America for Black people. Take for instance Terrance Cody , a behemoth of a Black interior defensive lineman for the University of Alabama. Were it not for football, it is difficult to envision what he would do for a living since he seems to have difficulty ascertaining what his major is at the school he plays for, as at a press conference before the BCS National Title game against Texas, he had this to opine:.

Later, Cody was talking about being on track to graduate in May and said he still needed two more classes. Somebody asked him what his degree was in. He paused, stammered for a few seconds, looked up and smiled and then muttered something under his breath. For those unaware - like Cody - Alabama doesn't offer a major in consumer science.

It must be stated here that Cody had an upbringing much like Michael Oher:. Cody said he grew up poor, not always having shoes that fit his size feet. His mother worked two jobs, as a traveling nurse and a bus driver, to care for him and his siblings. His parents were not married, but his father, a construction worker, was a big part of his life until he died in a car accident.

At the end of his junior year of high school, Cody moved in with the family of a high school teammate, Jason Milliken. The stability was important. And how could Cody not get amazing academic help at Alabama, considering the school invests heavily in keeping these athletes eligible to play:. Bryant Academic Center, a state of the art academic center benefiting more than Crimson Tide student athletes. The 52, square-foot building is among the finest in the country. Who is it that riots at college football games? Who hates losing to Boise State? Other than Neil DeGrasse Tyson, when else do we ever hear about black astrophysicists, black investment bankers, or black brain surgeons other than of course, the esteemed Dr.

Kersey asks damningly in the book:. Only then will franchises have atoned for the past inequities against Black people. Black sports participation has been leveraged greatly to install and entrench Black Run America, as blacks routinely use their positions to blackify the Board of Trustees, the coaches, and the players as much as possible. As quoted in the book:. Look at any majority-black community in America, and what do you find?

Blacks simply cannot maintain the civilization built by whites. According the Wikipedia, renovations began in — but who will attend the games when Birmingham is full of black crime? On a microscopic level, one of the main reasons blacks cannot maintain white civilization is due their profligacy with money. We endlessly hear about NFL and NBA black ball players filing for bankruptcy or being jailed for child support arrears less than five years into retirement. Black males are incredibly insecure people, who feel an overwhelming urge to consume conspicuously.

I think the root cause of this is the gnawing truth that the black man has not built anything or done anything in his history , and needs to compensate for this fact by flaunting his fleeting success in the faces of adoring white fans. Often, blacks view another black who makes it to pro-ball and a big paycheck as their own personal Moses, who is there to lead them to a Promised Land flowing with milk and honey.

Your average young black male has an insatiable sex drive as well. Combined with poor foresight regarding birth control as a result of a low average IQ, this is an explosive mixture for producing out-of-wedlock children e. Travis Henry, Antonio Cromartie, and others. Black mismanagement and misprioritization of finances is reflected in their voting habits:. The book is replete with examples of black males behaving badly after being given the tremendous opportunity to play football for a prestigious college. Most black males are disproportionately born-jailbirds, and the women they impregnate are gun molls.

Examples of black male criminality in sports are manifold:. While those are professional ball players, the situation is not much better for college black male ball players, who judging by their behavior, would have been better off raised by wolves. To quote the book:. Sports he provided thousands of impermissible benefits to at least 72 athletes from through In hours of jailhouse interviews during Yahoo!

At a cost that Shapiro estimates in the millions of dollars, he said his benefits to athletes included but were not limited to cash, prostitutes, entertainment in his multi-million dollar homes and yacht, paid trips to high-end restaurants and nightclubs, jewelry, bounties for on-field play including bounties for injuring opposing players , travel and, on one occasion, an abortion. One ball player in the book had his scholarship revoked for not informing the coach he had four young children with three different young women:.

Lemaricus Davidson, one of the perpetrators of the Knoxville Horror, was nearly recruited by a college football team. Davidson, as of this writing, is scheduled to be executed by the state of Tennessee for his role in that horrific double rape and torture-murder. Negro ball players are so childlike in their required level of supervision as to become self-parodizing. Blacks, in their stereotypical childlike fashion, routinely blame their problems and mistakes on everyone else.

As quoted in the book,. It is an orange card small enough to fit into their wallets. On the back of the card are the home and cell phone numbers of the Tennessee coaching staff so players can call for help. Education is a topic of great interest to me, and so this is where the bulk of my analysis of the book is weighted. Aside from lacking morals, black college ball players are of sub-standard intellect.

Even for-profit colleges would decline to admit many of the ball players discussed in the book. Black education failure begins in the public schools. And they fail despite endless spending on education. Less than half of blacks can score above a on the SAT.
