Jemele Hill calls for segregation; "Why Black Athletes Need to Leave White Colleges "

And the elephant in the room.....

The HBCU's will never have the payoff/under the table money that the big name universities have.

What I'm saying is that you're dead wrong to call this segregation, that's not what it is.

You say you are happy to support HBCU's, but for some reason Jemele asking black athletes to support them is wrong somehow?

1. Segregation does not only have to be "forced" to be segregation by definition.

Segregation: the action or state of setting someone or something apart from other people or things or being set apart.

I don't think she's calling for anything like what was done with blacks during the segregation days in US History by any means. I'm just don't agree with her way of trying to help HBCUs.

2. The way she did, yes. Read her Twitter page. She's responding to lots of people (who aren't white) who are calling her wrong too.

There's a reason she's not on ESPN anymore. Her takes are controversial and on the fringe.

This is a good conversation about the issue.

Would they even have the money to pay elite head coaches?

The competition for talent is beyond reason. According to an ESPN article published a couple weeks ago, the highest paid public employee in 39 out of 50 states is a college football or basketball coach.

I know that. But Howard is not one of them.
