Real quick. I met a female friend online in North Virginia recently. She is a huge Steelers fan. We got into a discussion about the Rooney Rule and I told her the discrimination white athletes face in this country. She didint believe me. I had her google Hayden Jones form Orlando on Youtube. She was blown away by not only how fast he was but that he kept beating black after black cornerback. She is astounded that he only has a D3 offer from Bryant. I had her google Nile Knapp and her first reaction was " which SEC team does he start for ? ". I think Ive got a convert. Maybe with youtube people might open their eyes more and start telling predjudiced college coaches to do the same.

Yep, that's why dwid puts up all the youtube vids he does. Some people will be convinced, others won't. I'm glad that you got through to that lady. I've talked to several women who are more open to our ideas than the average man is. Of course there are different reasons for that. Anyway, keep it up! That is how we are going to see positive change happen, one person at a time.

Good job - the more we talk about it the more we can open eyes and confront it.
