blacks way over represented in GREAT government jobs with great benefits--hardly any lay offs compared to the private sector, and GREAT pensions [ even though they graduate from high school at lower levels ]--so we see blacks making out very good--better than they are qualified

African-Americans represent 13.1 percent of the U.S. population and 11.6 percent of the labor force, according to a 2012 U.S. Department of Labor report. Nearly one in five African-American workers hold government jobs such as mail clerks, firefighters and teachers, the report said.

By 1970, about one in five Detroit auto workers was black, a sizeable increase from 1960, when they held only about sixteen percent of auto industry jobs.

over represented in cream of the crop auto jobs--these are FANTASTC jobs
Driving While Black: On the Line
Employed persons by detailed industry, sex, race, and Hispanic or Latino ethnicity

considering they graduate at lower levels--blacks have nothing to complain about--and everything to be thankful for

Most Blacks I know are very grateful they are Black. I think what you are misunderstanding is that we dont like being killed or discriminated against because we are so fucking awesome.

as you can see in my initial links/etc they are NOT being discriminated against...in fact they are doing quite well

Just because we are doing quite well doesnt mean we arent discriminated against. It just means your discrimination cant stop us unless we give up.

The majority of athletes in college are white. These idiots watch a few division one football or basketball games and start spewing filth.

Yet the majority of those in the know were academic advisers to men's basketball and football players, the latter group of which made up more than half of the athletes taking the courses, according to a report the university released in 2014. In television interviews that year, a former player under Williams -- a member of his 2005 championship team -- said players enrolled in the paper courses and that the head coach was aware of the fraud.

bold mine
More than a dozen athletic programs have committed academic fraud in last decade, with more likely to come
they can't make it in college---since they can't graduate high school or their HS grades are low anyway
some of them get a free ride to college when they are not as qualified academically
so they are getting paid indirectly, especially when there are whites who are more qualified--for college, but get turned down

A dozen? There are 130 FBS schools with football programs. There are another 128 FCS schools with football programs. 258 schools with football programs (ignoring all the other sports). a dozen schools in 10 years amounts to less than 5%.

Also, if white athletes are turned down for an athletic scholarship in favor of a black athlete, it means they were less valuable in that particular sport.

There are plenty of high level schools that have put considerable effort into eliminating academic fraud. And plenty of black athletes work as hard in the classroom as they do in their sport. And the requirements for academics for entry into a school effect both blacks and white. This is why junior colleges get top level athletes.

thanks for your reply
no--read it again--I said academically ...the white [ or black non-athlete ] is better academically qualified, but the athlete gets the scholarship and/or accepted

I state again---blacks graduate at lower levels---there are not many blacks at private schools where if they were, I could see the parents having the money to get tutors/better education for them...but they aren't at the private schools in great numbers
what your saying--and others--is that these elite, black athletes also are the best and brightest in school work...??!!! even though blacks graduate at lower levels?? this seems mathematically hard to believe

..it's hard to believe the whites would need more help [ cheating ] because whites graduate high school at a higher rate--this is not even counting private schools which have a lot more whites than blacks---and higher graduation rates
CAPE | Private School Facts

graph below public schools only

So you are wanting the white non-athlete to get the athletic scholarships? Or are you comparing apples to oranges?

Like it or not, 40 percent of the class at most top colleges are reserved for "hooked" kids -- the largest group is generally recruited athletes (up to 20 percent),

In College Admissions, Athletes Are the Problem - NYTimes.com

Some 20% of the entering class will be recruited athletes.

The Secret Quotas In College Admissions

Once again, I can only speak for the university that I attended. The football program has a higher graduation rate than the national average for all students, not just athletes. And the money brought in by the athletic dept is a major boost for the institution.

They are doing quite well because they worked hard at a particular sport. There is obviously some natural ability. But without years of hard work at the sport, they wouldn't have been recruited by the colleges.

What you say it is doesnt really mean anything. Youre nobody and you certainly havent experienced the discrimination Blacks get to experience. You also havent proved we dont experience discrimination just because you misinterpret the data. Thats like saying a wide receiver had no one attempting to tackle him because he scored a touchdown.

Your OP doesnt even have the word prove or proof in it. How can it be about proving anything? If your OP had asked for proof I would have ignored it. It just looks like what it is. A feeble attempt to say there is no discrimination but lacking any proof of your own.

I've been reading "More Than Just Race," and "When Work Disappears." Both discuss why poverty and unequal opportunity so stubbornly persist in the lives of so many African Americans. They explain that very many laws and policies, while not obviously discriminatory in their wording, have very negative affects on inner city black folks in their actual implementation.

An excerpt from More Than Just Race: "Economic changes and political decisions may have a greater adverse impact on some groups than on others simply because the former are more vulnerable as a consequence of their position in the social stratification system."

I personally think that the government sanctioned, obvious, in-your-face discrimination of the past has been replaced and is now hidden, masked and portrayed as something other than what it actually is. Things that are purposely hidden from view are thus harder to "prove," but I believe still exist and hurt people.
