1) In this day in age i would say TRUE. Black athletes dominate the sports arena when it comes to football, basketball. I would still venture to say Baseball, HOckey, GOlf are "white" or predominently WHITE sports, with baseball maybe even being more Latino.
2) If your talking as a whole, then of course blacks make more, there are more of you. you are the majority in pro sports.
3) Again, DUH, there are more of you in PRO sports, so of course you have more fans.
4) If you REALLY want to get into the MEAT and POTATOES of the argument, which many of you might not want to, Black athletes are ONLY Taking over "white sports" because very FEW of them have no other choices.
Consider the college graduation rate is 42% for African Americans vs 62% of White Americans.
Consider this [IMG]http://www.jbhe.com/images/issue50/blackstudent_gradrates1.gif

Consider a third (33%)of black male high school dropouts aged 22 to 30 years were in prison or jail in 2000. In contrast, only 3.3 percent of white male dropouts the same age were behind bars.
This is not saying that all black people are dumb and cant go to college. Im merely saying that there are MORE WHITE people in Middle to Upper class white collar jobs than Blacks.
What i see from the Black youth today is :
1) Grow up and be a pro sports player
2) Grow up and be a rapper
3) i cant go to college cause then im a sell out
I mean god forbid someone wants to grow up and be Codoleeza Rice, but then you would be accused of being an uncle tom, or TOO WHITE.
Very FEW white kids want to be PRO sports figures, in society as a whole. I think that explains the so called "take over".
5) Again, your wrong. There are MANY black owners in the NBA and there are alot of black coaches in the NFL. "THE MAN" you speak of that hold you down
is usually an educated business man. This is the problem with your thiking , you want everything handed to you, like its some god given right. Try EARNING it. Instead of blaming someone else for your problems, stop being the racist, and EARN it.
It just saddens me to see true BIGGOTS and RACISTS complain about the WHITE MAN and how WE KEEP THEM DOWN.
I for one think that Mark shows more racism in these comments than anyone. TO me thats true biggotry.
McNabb says black QB's face more scrutiny than white QB's....
