If I'm Southern, I would try to incorporate Devon into fixing the ADA problems. Have him at the Capitol rallying folks and the whole nine. He could wind up being a great young spokesperson.

We all get pimped from time to time. Whether this is pimping or not this is a generous act and if we would support OUR institutions better we could pimp ourselves.Even after such a tragic accident, UGA is exploiting the young black man for public relations brownie points.

You don't know me so you need to find another fight. You need to ask somebody.And that's problem....
Giving Back to Your HBCU is more than just writing a damn check. Do you promote your HBCU individually in the company of other Colleges, rather FBS, P5, HBCU, etc.? Are you not ashamed to wear your HBCU Apparel at ANY PLACE, at ANYWHERE, at ANYTIME? Did you choose an HBCU for GRADUATE SCHOOL to further your education above a Bachelors?
See, our HBCUs need radical alumni, fans, and supporters. We don't need Half-Ass Alumni, fans, and supporters who suck up to schools bigger than them. The HBCU is already David in a fight against Goliath but you thinking playing it cool is good? You better FIGHT until you can't fight no more.
WAKE UP PEOPLE...we as Blacks will never be accepted in this country. Some of you borderline remind me of Stacey Dash and Raven Symone SMDH.
They only care about us as Blacks only when it benefits them. They didn't have a problem with Slaves picking Cotton for Free until the Slaves learned they can be paid for Hard Labor.
And that's problem....

My company colors are Maroon & Grey. When I first started I had a partner and she wanted to change the company colors....NOT. I have sTu license plates...not a license plate holder. I wear sTu apparel every where...caps, hoodies...t-shirts...sTu NASCAR jacket. As a matter of fact I just ordered two long sleeved t-shirts and a hoodie today. I bought 2 hoodies for my son last year. So before you get on that soap box of yours you need to know who you are talking to.
Man, sit your arse down somewhere. You don't know people on this board. What the heck do you DO FOR Alcorn? Ask yourself that before you start asking folks what they are doing with their time and money for their respective HBCU. You got Herb messed up. Dude is TxSU through and through. I knew who he was from the first meeting. Dude bleeds TxSU. Respect your old head alums who actually understand the struggle more than some of us.
Since you about that action. Instead of posting here where obviously none of us really give a damn as you say it. Why don't you utilize your time more wisely and go spread YOUR message to your local area. Hell, start an online forum for you own damn self to get the word out. But please spare us pitiful folks on here the rhetoric that don't give a rat's arse about your opinion. Because you have no clue to what any of us on here do for HBCUs or our alma maters. I am willing to bet more than you are doing.
Oh lawd, UGA ultimate goal is to crap on SU. We are so much in their thoughts in another state that they need to crap on SU. WTF?!!
The only thing UGA needs to be worried about in the state of LA is LSU when they do play them in the rotation and in recruiting battles. UGA is not trying to CRAP on SU. Man, them folks aint even worried about anything we can or can not do at SU. Sheesh.
The way UGA's going about everything just rubs me the wrong way. Press conferences, photo-ops, etc.
I don't blame them for their deeds. I blame them for being haughty about it. It's almost like they're trying to play a one-up game with Southern.
Just my opinion.
You don't know me either only by what YOU post on here. UGA knows damn well what they are doing and yet you all are sitting back likes it cool or something. Yeah, what they did is a Great Gesture by they are turning into a Media Frenzy while simultaneously crapping on SU.
One thing I will say about JSU, Alcorn, and Valley: When Haley Barbour came with that mess, WE STOOD UP and TOOK A STAND.
UGA knows what they are doing and it is wrong. Exploitation of the Black Athlete continues.
Glad they helped the family out. I still don't like the SEC, but as a man I can respect those who help others. The good of all mankind is what matters.
Dude, we can tell you post like a crazy out of touch person. That's what we do know.
So your crazy ass wants SU admin to come say UGA you are full of crap and stop. Stop helping Devon Gales and his family because you trying to make SU look bad. You do know how crazy that sounds don't you? The other thing is this. Devon Gales and his family are their OWN people. SU has no right to say anything about this or to them on how they HANDLE their business and what they do with UGA or whomever helps them.
You are certified crazy if you think them white folks at UGA are worried about trying to make SU look bad. In their master plan they want to destroy SU.
I tell you what. Why don't you contact the Gales family and tell them to stop taking stuff and being at press conferences. See how that works.
You don't get it do you....Did you miss The History Lesson where the White Sheets got replaced by the Suits and Ties? All racism against Blacks is not upfront and out in the open.
Dude I am a Naval Officer and in Corporate America upper management. Trust me I know what the deal is when I see. Been around them folks long enough to see through BS. This isn't what that is. If UGA had played McNeese State and the same thing happened, they would have done the same thing. It has nothing to do with race. Maybe if you HAD MY EXPERIENCE. You could tell the difference here instead of always doubting folks. Hell if anything they probably got some necks in GA wondering why they helping the "N" so much. I am sure they got some fans who could care less about Devon and SU. But this is from the people who run the University and folks tied to it that have influence doing this. Not some redneck with hate in their eyes. Not some SUIT who would not even vote to help the family or write a check. I am sure you got some who aint participating in this.
If they want media exposure for doing something nice, I am sure their PR people were all over it. No different than anything else they do to promote UGA. But to the extent they have gone with this is genuine. They didn't just talk the talk. They walk the walk and they didn't have too. Nobody is slamming SU about this. And don't trip. SU folks have done their part to support the Gales family too and he will continue to be supported by the SU family. We are Southern and we are One.
Now carry your arse with this dumb shit. Sheesh.

Then Bring This Out More!!!!! Bring out more of the Positive of what the SU Family is doing for Devan.
Give your own HBCU Alumni, Fans, and Supporters equal recognition for helping the young in his recovery. UGA isn't doing it by themselves (but they sure want to make it seem like they are).
JR...I'm surprised that Braveheart thinks like this with all those uppity black folk in DC stabbing each other in the back. I guess he has not run in to those blacks up there that have sold black folk out for a few coins.
What I hoping for is for Gales to earn his degree then his masters and doctorate.
Gales is a damn good success story waiting to happen.
When Devan put the SU Jaguar Uniform on, he represented not only Southern University but the SU Brand, Culture, etc.
It seems to me that through all this good gestures, UGA is not only trying strengthen its public image but attempting to "Reculture" an HBCU Athlete by Black Exploitation.
Answer this JR: if SU would have beaten UGA on the field that day, would UGA STILL have made the same good gestures toward the young man and his family? It's easy to make a good gesture when you are whipping a team by 40 points and only really care about watching their Band Perform.
