Democrats Ask Black Famlies Sacrifice but not Hispanic and Asian Famlies

Ajouté : 2026-05-31

[00:00:00]Are they asking black families to boycott all schools in these states?

[00:00:05]Are they asking them to boycott only certain public universities? Are they asking them to boycott only athletic programs?

[00:00:16]Are are you asking black athletes uh not to play for the SEC, the ACC schools, but to redirect their talent to the H.B.CU?

[00:00:24]See, those are completely different things.

[00:00:28]Now, if the campaign means don't support major public athletic program that that profit from black athletes while their state governments, you know, you know, that's that's the issue. Don't support them.

[00:00:47]But see, if the campaign sounds like don't support schools in these states, that creates confusion cuz that's what it sounds like. Okay?

[00:00:55]Many of these schools that serve black students are also in the same states.

[00:00:59]Because let me tell you something. I want to tell y'all something now.

[00:01:03]Tell you something right now. Somebody type right now. Southern University is one of the one of the most important H.B.CU in America. It's one of the biggest H.B.CU in America. And it sits right in the heart of North Baton Rouge.

[00:01:17]Uh uh uh uh I'm sorry. It sits right in the heart of North Baton Rouge, Louisiana. So are are they saying boycott Southern? Are they saying don't support uh uh uh Southern University athletes? Are they saying don't support the Bayou Classic? Because they make a lot of money in New Orleans for the Bayou Classic. Gramling, too.

[00:01:36]Are they Are they saying uh uh don't support the very H.B.CU institutions that black people built, funded, defended, and loved for generations?

[00:01:46]Because if that's what they're saying, then I'm going to tell you right now, you got a problem. I'm I'm telling you that as a proud Southern University graduate of the law school, Southern University isn't just another school to us. That campus is sacred ground. That tradition means something. The alumni base means something. The marching band means something. The football program means something. The Bayou Classic means something.

[00:02:10]Southern generates attention, culture, pride, tourism, and a whole lot of money for Louisiana every year through its games and its alumni and especially through the Bayou Classic.

[00:02:21]So, if the NAACP message is unclear enough that people could interpret it as don't support schools in these states, then they've already failed the first test of leadership. And that's clarity.

[00:02:36]I'mma tell you right now, if anybody thinks Southern University alumni are gonna stop supporting Southern University because the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People rolled out a boycott message that wasn't clear. They don't know Southern University very well at all. They don't know Baton Rouge and they don't know H.B.CU culture. They don't know black college loyalty and they damn sure don't know what happens when SU alumni drive over that hump.

[00:03:00]Somebody type the hump in the chat room.

[00:03:02]Somebody type the hump. when they see the hump, when they see after riding on I 10 and taking that little swervy street, right, that little 110 to take you up through Scotlandville, they drive over that hump and they see those southern uh they see that basketball say, they see the uh AA Munford stadium when they drive over the hump.

[00:03:31]Mm-m.

[00:03:32]Ain't nobody thinking about the NAACP and what they said, but ain't boy caught in a damn thing. They thinking about Southern. They thinking about homecoming. They thinking about the bluff. They thinking about the human juke box. They're thinking about the bayou classes. They're thinking about this is the first time I brought my my child or my my my my spouse with me to my school.

[00:03:56]They're thinking about our history, our people, our institution.

[00:04:01]You kidding me?

[00:04:04]Give a damn about the NAACP or what the NAACP is talking about at all?

[00:04:12]Not at all.

[00:04:18]This is me on the hump. Let me show y'all something.

[00:04:23]This is in the Baton Rouge uh newspaper.

[00:04:26]This is 1997. when I was a first year law school student at Southern University Law Center. This is me right there studying on the bluff.

[00:04:37]Some of y'all might remember that bench.

[00:04:40]You understand that? They took that and put it in the newspaper. And I said, I just like coming out here. I don't give a damn about the NAACP is talking about.

[00:04:50]Now, this is me in my second year law school out there standing with you.

[00:04:54]Can't see my head, but I'm out there standing with the people protesting against environmental racism.

[00:05:01]You can't see. I had to get a better This is so sad. This is sad.

[00:05:06]That's so sad. I got to do better.

[00:05:09]Had it all set up.

[00:05:12]But anyway, you get the point. We have heritage there. We have history there.

[00:05:20]You understand? these are institute and and the message is not quite clear and they they ain't they not they not they're not telling us enough you not speaking to us enough and again it's not just about Southern University because all whether you go to Alabama uh ENT Texas Southern Dillard whatever we feel the same way so what are you all talking about you can't tell black people to pull away from Southern uh public university without explaining how that affects black students and who live in those states.

[00:05:57]You understand?

[00:05:59]You can't tell black athletes to walk away from big-time athletic programs without explaining where they're supposed to go and who's supposed to support them and whether H.B.CU are prepared to receive them with the same scholarship money and NIL money and facilities and exposure and career opportunity. Because a lot of families, this isn't about politics. This is about tuition and debt.

[00:06:23]This is about transportation and housing. This is scholarship money. This is whether their child can stay close to home. This is whether their child gets to seen by scouts and whether the family can afford a college at all.

[00:06:36]So, so the southern state problem is the NAACP is targeting the same region where black America lives, learns, worships, works, and sends his children to school.

[00:06:47]That means the boycott can't just be a slogan. It needs to be a plan. It needs to be a a a clear target. That's reckless for you all to get on the internet and just tell these people, "Don't go to schools in southern states without giving them a profit." What idiot at the NAACP in headquarters in New York City came up with this dumbass idea? I'm sorry, excuse the language, okay?

[00:07:13]But you all need to tell people exactly which schools are being targeted, which schools aren't being targeted, and what black families are supposed to do instead. Otherwise, the burden falls back on the ordinary black families who who are already trying to survive and the politicians in the universities.

[00:07:33]Y'all feel the pressure, but the immediate sacrifice is going to be these black parents and black athletes and black students who are being asked to give up affordable options in the very state they call home.

[00:07:49]And let me just keep it 100 with you since we talk about H.B.CU.

[00:07:54]I'm said I'm a twotime H.B.CU graduate.

[00:07:58]Garland and Suff that was a hell of a conflict.

[00:08:02]Who do I root for in the Bayou Classic?

[00:08:04]I don't ever root against Southern.

[00:08:07]You see, I'm happy either team went. I won either way.

[00:08:15]Hell, my wife is a is a H.B.CU graduate.

[00:08:19]My ex-wife was a H.B.CU graduate. In the very near future, my son is going to be a H.B.CU graduate. So, nobody can say I'm anti-H.B.CU.

[00:08:28]Nobody can say I don't understand the value of H.B.CU. Nobody can say I don't respect the history and our culture and the role that H.B.CU have played in black America. These other institutions are not these predominantly white institutions are not equipped to do the job H.B.CU do. They they can't educate the number of black people that H.B.CU have and send us out into the workforce.

[00:08:54]My family is living proof that I believe in H.B.CU. But but here's a major difference between sending a student to an H.B.CU for a law degree or medical degree or education and asking an elite level fourstar, five-star recruit black athlete to put his athletic future on the line as part of a political protest.

[00:09:19]My son isn't going to H.B.CU CU as a five-star quarterback with the possibility of getting multi-million dollar NIL deal and being looked at for the NFL or the NBA or some major league.

[00:09:32]Not these older ones. Now, that little one, that little one, he might go. His boy going to be about 6'9. He might go, but the bottom line is that's what matters. For a regular student, the question is education, his culture, his community, his degree completion and opportunity. But for elite black male athletes, the question is also about exposure and player development and facilities and strength training and nutrition, sports medicine, television coverage, NIL deals, draft preparation, uh professional scouting, and whether that school can help turn a short athlete athletic window into generational wealth. Those are two different conversations.

[00:10:18]And this is where people need to stop playing games. We're going to stop playing these games. H.B.CU's have value, but most H.B.CU athlete programs don't have the infrastructure like the SEC, the ACC, the Big 10, the Big 12.

[00:10:31]They don't have the NBA pipeline. They don't have the NFL pipeline. They don't have the MLB pipeline. They don't have the same television network or booster systems or NIL collectives and business operations or facilities. They don't have the media, the machine, or the national recruiting power, uh, and track record of taking elite athletes and consistently turning them into first round draft picks, uh, and national stars, multi-millionaires, and pretending otherwise. That doesn't help H.B.CU or black athletes. Look what happened to Deion Sanders and Jackson State. Shout out to Jackson State. Dion brought attention, energy, media coverage. He brought recruits. He brought belief. He brought excitement.

[00:11:15]He showed what was possible when a star when star power met in the H.B.C program. But even Deion Sanders eventually left J State. He went to Colorado. And whether people liked the decision or hated it, it exposed a bigger issue. One man's fame wasn't enough to erase that infrastructure gap. And Deion Sanders with the NFL credibility and celebrity status, relationships, media reach, and recruiting power, he couldn't fully overcome the gap by himself. He couldn't do it. If he couldn't do it, how how you going to get a regular H.B.CU athlet athletic department to carry the weight of a national boycott without serious money, planning, and infrastructure.
