re: Football Integration Time Line--For The Record

quote:

---

the man carrying the football in this photo was an All-American at Syracuse, went into the NFL and set the career rushing yardage record that stood for almost 2 decades, became a Hollywood action star, and retired from football at age 30 - all before the first black football player set foot on an SEC gridiron

---

Meanwhile, in 1969, 9 black players labeled the Syracuse 8, had to boycott the team because of hatred and mistreatment and were never allowed to play again and had their careers and their lives ruined by the Syracuse administration.

Syracuse was a lot better than Southern teams.

Ahhhh now I see.... SanctimoniousSlingingSnakeStabler !

I find it highly hypocritical and ridiculous that better-than-thou types from across the nation shite on the South for not integrating "soon" enough when they mostly only beat out Southern teams by a decade or two, depending on the school, in integrating their teams.

Oh hey, they say, we were integrated 13, or 17, or 21 years before those knuckle-draggers in the South, therefore we are better people and deserve to be praised for being bigots for a slightly shorter period of time.

For instance, Southern Cal had only five black token players on its 1962 national championship team and seven on its 1967 roster.

Yet, in their deluded minds, they were the main catalyst for integrating not only Southern football teams, specifically Alabama, they now truly believe they are the reason the entire South was integrated.

Ridiculous.

The bigots and hate mongers and segregationist pigs in Ohio treated blacks like cattle and less than human for 39 years.

That's a long time to hate.

From the time the first football game was played by Ohio State in 1890 until 1929, THE Ohio State was dominated by African American hating sludge humans who didn't want any of 'dem coloreds on their lily white team.

Shameful.

The sheet wearing clowns had one half white/half black player in 1891 and then one fully black player, Julius Tyler, five years later and then the Klan dominated faculty and leadership of Ohio State decided they didn't want any more of "them Negro's" on the team again until 1929.

1891 compared to 1969? Again...

In other words, the wonderful people of Ohio tried out an almost black person in 1891 and a real black person 5 years later and said, NOPE, not again.

And no black person was on the team again until 1929. Sad. And, of course, from 1929 until the late '50's and 1960's, it wasn't really an integrated team as much as just having maybe 3 or 4 black players some years and 4 or 5 other years, kind of like tokens, you know.

Ohio residents have always been very anti-black and hateful.

OSU fans need to sit this one out considering (in the present, right now) Epstein's best buddy Wexner has his name all over campus buildings.

Vandy should be embarrassed. What was preventing them from being first?

We did not own them or pass laws to keep them from voting. That's why they migrated north. I mean, you can spin it however you want, but they felt life was better in the north than where they came from.

WTF? Ohio residents didn't own slaves? That's odd, considering slavery wasn't banned in Ohio until 1851.

Someone must have went to public schools lately and wasn't taught history properly.

And those schools didn't have guys like George Wallace, Orval Faubus, and Lester Maddox as their governors of their states during those years.

In Oklahoma we were lucky when OU and OSU (both the school and the football team) integrated because we had a Governor who didn't go out of his way to stir up the bigots.

Yet cities like Los Angeles have had more race related riots and deaths from those riots through the decades than any city in the United States.

In both '65 and '92, the administration and regular folk of LA treated blacks so badly, through employment discrimination, residential segregation, and just being generally shitty people, almost the entire black population of the city had to riot just to feel like they could live.

The progressive, enlightened, highly educated, and compassionate people of LA didn't really want them negroes around them or working around them or living around them.

Thank God the "progressive" cities like LA and several others, including Chicago, didn't have governors like some of the Southern states, the bigots that filled their cities, and still do, would have run rampant then.

Let's not even get into the '43 Zoot Suit Riots where U.S. Servicemen, encouraged by the ever present bigots from the city of Los Angeles, dragged Latinos out of their homes and businesses and beat them publicly.

shite like all of the above, and much more, is why it is so bizarre to listen to a Californian, or any other person from any other state, lecture Southerners on how we just aren't as evolved as they are.

It'll blow your fricking mind if you ever read about Boston desegregating

Or the wholesale slaughtering of blacks by the New York Irish, during the 1863 Draft Riots, in what was the worst violence motivated by race in the history of the United States.

Lynchings in the streets and vicious tracking and hunting of black humans in a four day orgy of blood and gore.
