"buffoonery by blacks whitening NFL" article by Jason Whitlock

[NT!]

anybody who has spent any time in an urban school and thinks there isn't pressure to conform to 'white society' needs to open their eyes. i've spent time in a lot of them and there is a lot of cultural bias in the educational system.

there is plenty of research that indicates black kids are placed in special ed at a higher rate, identified as behavior problems, etc, independent of factors like school performance and severity of behavior. (so if you are about to respond by saying 'black kids act up more that's why they get in trouble more,' stop, reread the sentence and try again). blacks are also more likely to have abuse cases called in against them by schools despite the fact that research has shown time and time again that race is not a predictive factor in child abuse. (socioeconomic class, btw, is).

i have links to lots of scholarly articles on this subject, but you usually need access via lexis nexis or another academic catalog to read them.

before people blame 'hip hop culture' and all that, why don't they blame NFL culture? it's white NFL fans who cheer when chad johnson does stupid [censored] on the field. it's white people who buy tickets to the games and pay his salary. it's ESPN that loves to lead every highlight with somebody doing a silly dance. if the white owner of his team (or his non-hip-hop loving head coach) would fine, bench or cut his ass for acting like a moron, he'd quit, regardless of how real tupac told him to keep it. money talks.
