My views

You guys seem to be awfully radical at times, especially on the
ANU. Another thing is that a lot of you guys seem to believe its
a secret, conspiracy type of operation controlling sports' racial
makeup. Well I found several articles in newspapers agreeing that
whites are screwed. Here's one.

I'm not saying the only reason the two best running backs in the
Chicago area aren't being recruited by major colleges is because they
are white.



But you'd have a hard time convincing anyone who saw the Class 6A
championship game that Naperville Central's Ryan Clifford hasn't got
the moves, quickness and toughness to play in Division I.



Until Clifford took off like a rocket, scoring a state-record 51
touchdowns, most observers targeted Hinsdale Central's Mike Mangan as
the leading ball-carrier in the state.



Neither of them is drawing much interest from big-time recruiters.
Both have been invited to visit Ball State. Maryland is considering
Mangan. Illinois dropped Clifford from its shopping list, but Indiana
made a last-minute call and invited him to visit this weekend.



Are they too slow, too small or too white? It is a taboo subject
among college coaches. Even high school coaches don't want to talk
about skin tones. It reminds of 20 to 25 years ago, when black
quarterbacks were a controversial issue in college and professional
football.



"Remember when no one wanted to recruit or sign a black
quarterback?" recruiting analyst Tom Lemming said. "And if they did, he
was shifted to cornerback or wide receiver. Now we have the same
problem with extremely productive white running backs.

That just means it's no longer a secret conspiracy. ]

First of all, the ANU board is separate from this one. Most of the people who post on that board don't post here and vice versa. "Radical," like "secret conspiracy" is used by you as a pejorative when radical means to get to the root of something, in other words the truth.

Second, all "conspiracies" are "secret" by definition.

Third, we've never said it was a "conspiracy." What we say the Caste System is, is institutionalized racial discrimination, reinforced by negative media stereotypes.

Fourth, that article is shows we're right on the mark, merely ahead of our time, with others finally beginning to publicly acknowledge the problem. Edited by: Don Wassall

By radical, I meant posters on this board sometimes
express opinions that seem irrational and are not backed up. I
used "secret, conspiracy type of operation" to convey a sense of under
the table policies and views, not an organized conspiracy. In the
articles, "racial politics" is a phrase that appears a lot.
Obviously the author did not mean official policy, but he meant there
was a secret implied system, like a conspiracy in some regards.
By placing secret in front of conspiracy, I emphasize the secrecy
aspect of a conspiracy.

I posted the article to show that Caste
Football is not alone. There are a lot of people questioning
racial stereotypes now.

I thought there was a stronger connection between Caste Football and the ANU I guess.


Edited by: American

The "conspiracy" view has never been advocated here because it's not accurate. The Caste System is institutional and out in the open, once people become aware of it and understand how it works.

Caste Football and the ANU are "connected" because I'm involved with both, but posters here aren't expected to support the ANU unless they want to. The ANU is purely political; this site is sports oriented. I've known from the outset that each appeals to different audiences, with some overlap.

Just speaking for myself, I seriously have no idea what the ANU stands for nor do I care. I just post here because I did a search on white running backs and like the educated views regarding the white athlete of the people on this forum. Sports is life very important to the well being of all.
