The Spanish people and Asians pushed the Blacks off the line up. We need an affiliative action plan to insure the “historical” participation of blacks.

The only reason for this is that the majority of the best black athletes in America play football or basketball.

If you really want a kid to get seen by the right people in colleges go to a summer camp. Most colleges have sports summer camps for kid. The kid will also learn what skills are important at the next level. |
