Black athletes should boycott the SEC?

[Normal1875]

It's black parents still sending their kids to SEC/red state PWIs even with the deletion of DEI programs etc all because they think a degree from that school is exceptional....but people expect the black athletes to boycott these schools?

Would it make more sense to target certain states instead? States that were quick to racial gerrymander like Texas, Louisiana, Tennessee and Alabama. In my opinion, that would send a clearer message.

North Carolina has been racially gerrymandered for over 14 years, though it does not get the attention the other states have gotten (even though the state had to rerun an election because of voter fraud on the GOP side in one district - the main GOP operative responsible unalived himself - thankfully his daughter got to the evidence before the republicans could destroy it and turned in the evidence to the correct authorities).

I think a better move for the NAACP and CBC would have to targeted one university in, as proof of concept to everyone, and they would of had a higher possible chance of success. Remember that one talented young man at Mississippi State was the one who announced he would transfer if the state of Mississippi did not change their flag on social media and others join in organically (this lead to the in state coaches at the PWIs to go the capital pushing them to change the flag).

Yes it is better to target certain schools. Mainly target certain schools based on what sport that they dominate.

Football players boycotting Alabama would have a stronger hurting on the football team than say the basketball or baseball team.

There is not much you can do to damage a SMU or Vanderbilt-because the academic standards screw those teams over way more than anything else.

A BInghamton wouldn't matter because they are still recovering from the damage by black guys in 2009.

It would be better to target certain schools and certain sports.

Not only don’t play for SEC schools, but don’t play for any of the other-race schools in confederate states. African American athletes and entertainers have economic power. Nobody is asking them to give up NIL money. They can get the same money from schools in states where there is no voter purge suppression. Essence Festival should move to Detroit or Chicago. Fraternities and Sororities should have meetings outside the south.

The generation before me sacrificed blood and limbs. This generation isn’t being asked to sacrifice a thing. We are now living in an era of Post Reconstruction 2.0— a New Jim Crow. I watched the USC/Alabama football game. Sports can make a difference!

Since voting is transactional, our percentage of eligible voters who vote should be at 90% or better. If you don’t vote, you don’t count, in the words of Vernon Dahmer of Mississippi.
