Unless you are AA you don't understand the historical context of the use of the word (ie. Django). How it was used by the poster may have a different meaning to you than it does to me and all the comments added about Vilma's background came after the original post with no added clarity leaving...

WTF are you talking about? I am an AA minority.

My comment was not limited to technology. In fact, I didn't even bring it up. I posted my degrees, but said nothing about them until after the idiotic responses. The statistical fact is that people with college degrees earn much more money than people that don't have them. People need to stop...

Connections are the way a lot of people find their jobs. Not just athletes.

I do agree with you on that. I also believe that parents have to take a lot of blame. In the African American community, we've had a tendency to care more about how our children are successful on the playing field than in the classroom. The parents that understand and value of an education...

I for one do. I am am proponent of education as the way out of poverty for everyone not just athletes. I do believe UM cares about it's student athletes. They have a very high graduation rate among all athletes including football.

Choose your words appropriately. Don't go throwing "rare breed" when talking about black folks like he's Django. It's like when people meet someone black and say, "he really speaks well." As though that's not an expectation and is something that would never be said to a white person. It's an...

GTFO, Now your insulting athletes and black ones in particular as we make up 60% of football and and 44% of basketball as though we are incapable of learning and obtaining a quality education. That's what your basically saying when you say, "Vilma is a rare breed." Any athlete can achieve...

Just stop it. People with college degrees earn nearly double of people without them. Further, we're talking about student athletes who are getting a free education. To some how try to devalue a $200k free education from UM (which I don't have) is asinine.

I agree with what your saying. You made some excellent points except for the education part. The education is the most valuable thing a student athlete can get. It will last longer and take them further in life than anything else. The NFL is not the only way out and I don't like it when...
