Tennessee High School Football

[Don Wassall]

We recently received these comments about the racism that takes place in Tennessee high school football. Remember the article we linked to a couple of years ago about the five white star high school running backs in Tennessee who couldn't get any I-A offers? That was one of the few MSM articles about the Caste System to make it through the media's filters.


Comments: High school football here in Tennessee is dominated by White teams yet the most highly recruited players are Black. All-White Maryville has beaten all-Black Melrose (Memphis) two consecutive years in the state 4A championship game.At the highest level(5A),virtually all-White Murfreesboro Riverdale has won 4 state titles in the last 12 years, and has been the runner-up 3 or 4 other times.


One more thing,15-20 Melrose players have been given scholarships to play Division 1ball in the last decade-for Tennessee,Alabama,etc- but half of them were academically ineligible and never played a single down. Most of these players end up transferring to D1-AA or D2 schools.


The question is, why do these guys keep getting recruited by major SEC powerhouses when half of them never step onto the field? Schools waste scholarships on players from whom they'll never get any production!

This same phenomena is happening all over the South. They attribute white success to teamwork and coaching, never athleticism. Take Jerrell Powe, who Coach uh-O</font> said was getting the job done with his make-up classwork back in August. Well, the kid evidently cant read hardly at all, or write well enough to have it be read. He takes some correspondence courses through BYU and his teacher basically does the work for him. The NCAA finally saw what was happening and has denied him eligibility. Now he has sued them for not letting him in college. 3 of the 4 blackletes Ole Miss hoped would become eligible haven't. You think after a while, the coaches would wise up and quit wasting their time on these guys, but as long as you have idiots like uh-O</font> coaching, you won't see it change. Its the new paternalism. White coaches tell them, we are gonna take care of you and your situation, don't you worry about it. I am glad though that a lot of this activity is being exposed, if for no other reason than the coaches are trumpeting these dummies to high heaven before they even get eligible or make it to campus.Edited by: Colonel_Reb

And the coaches seem to all have similar attitudes toward black criminality. Mike Holmgren saying that Koren Robinson is "like a son" to him as he gets arrested time and again, Marty Schottenheimer saying that his thoughts and prayers are with Steve Foley after Foley put a policeman in fear of his life. They truly seem to get off on being a modern day type of "plantation boss."


Whatever the psychological motivations behind it, it's destructive -- grossly unfair to white athletes, and unfair to both whites and blacks because it holdsblacks to lower standards of behavior than anyone else and excuses just about everything negative they do.

I think that people who pay attention to high school football get it. They see white football teams across the country that are successful and winning championships. It is the masses who only watch college or pro football that don't see the Caste system in place. We can only hope that a new generation of coaches rise up from the high school ranks and begin to take jobs at the college level will change the system.

the double standards that exist for white and black players are overwhelming. not only do blacks get a free pass on academics, physical measurables are often disregarded. how else do you explain a player who is shorter, slower, smaller, weaker, but evidently more importantly blacker, getting a scholarship over a more physically superior specimen? this happens all the time.

another double standard is the injury issue. i don't know how many times a talented black kid gets hurt and misses his senior year but still has a scholarship waiting for him, while at the same time if the white phenom gets injured too bad, so sad.

it happens every day, all over the country, yet white folks are too stupid to take notice, much less take action. it becomes very frustrating.

The sad part is that the few people I talk to who know whats going on don't seem to realy care. In some cases Ive been around It was so obvious People most have known what was going on but just not cared.

 

[Colonel_Reb]

Unfortunately, apathy has become epidemic among most whites in America. They don't care about much of anything and don't care that they don't care. They seemingly have few interests or concerns outside their everyday lives.

They don't care about much of anything and don't care that they don't care.

you hit the nail on the head.
