Five-star college basketball recruit Makur Maker commits to Howard over UCLA

It has nothing to do with going back to segregation that ended just 56 years ago. There are other races at HBCUs, in fact a total of 22% of Whites, Hispanic, Asian, etc. attend HBCUs. on average per year. If more of a percentage of the top 100, top 250 players, like Makur Maker, committed to a HBCU, became a more competitive conference and earned a major TV network contract for a high major conference. It shouldn't prevent good white player going to an HBCU. It would be a step in the right direction of equality in a sport that is black majority just like football. HBCUs are known to give back to black communities. With better funding, enrollment, and future equality of an HBCU diploma to any other college diploma, America would benefit as a whole to bring up impoverished black communities and cities that we as a society have created by imbalanced policing and judicial system as a whole, but not by all,

Example being.. a white college student, no record, get 3 months for raping an unconcious woman.

A black teen, no record, stealing sneakers from a store going to jail for 5 years.

I know different states, but all 50 states the sentencing difference in crime is wrong and imbalanced. There are countless examples of this in every state for decades.

Love this.. lets schedule them!

@Scarlet Blind you are cherry-picking.. you know you can find black athletes who got off on similar sex crimes.. look to Notre Dame, Baylor, etc.... not that any of them should get such lenient sentences.. not sure about the sneaker stealing though..

good thing you provided a link.. it wasn't exactly shoplifting...

Davis in 2016 spotted a pair of Nike Oreos — named for their black and white color scheme — for sale on Facebook and arranged to meet with the owner in Columbus Park.

“These shoes is took,” he said after trying on the sneakers. That’s when another male — who accompanied Davis to the meeting — pulled out a gun, scaring off the shoe seller as well as nearby park-goers.

And he is doing good things in prison.. NOT.. gang waterboarding of a fellow inmate? He was probably on short time to get released too.. unless he already had other crimes in prison..
