For well over a couple of centuries most, if not all, colleges were still ALL WHITE. You have a handful of HBU that sprung up after the civil war to, brace yourself, educate black people. If the colleges were not there, the disparities would be extremely bleak today. The fact is that most colleges in history didnt have to say historically white because they were by de facto. Lastly, do yourself a favor and get a magazine from the late 60's early 70's where there is boarding school, or military school ads. Most had to put "open enrollment" because up to that point, they didnt accept blacks. HBCU served a purpose, and still do and this game just celebrates that.

Pike doesnt understand, I'm done, if he was a educated man he would listen and learn..Plus talking about not answering questions, he never said what college he went to....hmmmm

Only if people took time to educate themself SMDH...

How the heck is "historically" outdated????

Historically black colleges....Black colleges....am I the only one who see a difference here????

Well written article, OS. Very well written.

As far as this thread goes I can't say the same. Insults,Politics and Racial talk is a violation of the TOS and for good reason.. There are too many infractions in this thread to mention. It's really hard to believe some of you call yourself adults.

Thread is being re-opened.

I suggest you guys think twice about what you're posting here before you hit the submit button. Keep it on topic.

@ pared:

I like how you tell us to think twice about posting and to make sure to keep the conversation "on topic", but what do you expect when you write an article about how the title doesn't exclude or elevate one race over the other? Your article is about the topic of race and was only posted to keep this conversation alive. So, from what I can tell, your site is getting the exact response to the article that your site intended. How about trying to keep the topic on sports by not writing articles of this nature in the first place. You knew what you were getting into when you posted this.

You know what, you have a perfectly valid point. I'm glad you posted it.

Comment on the article, the topic but don't ATTACK EACH OTHER. There's absolutely no reason for that.

Does that help?

Guys..it isn't that hard. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

Great article OS.

I have to disagree.

I just wished I had seen this topic earlier.
