Kirk Herbstreit breaks down in tears discussing social injustice during College GameDay
With all the turmoil in this country making its way into the college football world, it was no surprise to see the College GameDay crew discuss it during Saturday’s show.
Maria Taylor, Desmond Howard, David Pollack, Rece Davis, Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstreit were all involved in the discussion, and Herbstreit got emotional during his segment.
When discussing the injustices Black athletes and Black people, in general, go through in America, Herbstreit implored us all to do better and stand beside everyone:

“How do you listen to these stories and not feel pain and not want to help?” Herbstreit asks. “Wearing a hoodie. Putting your hands at 10 and 2. ‘Oh god, I’d better watch out because I’m wearing Nike gear.’ Like, what? What are we talking about? You can’t relate to that if you’re white, but you can listen and you can try to help. Because this is not OK. It’s just not. We’ve got to do better, man. We’ve got to lock arm-in-arm and be together.”
Players across the country are participating in social justice marches, and it is having an impact in communities across the nation. This will certainly be something that continues to happen as the 2020 season gets underway.
Makes me want to puke
You make me wanna puke.
Way to show him!
Also, I agree completely: false narratives have overtaken sports.
made me want to puke too…he’ll really be crying when BLM shows up at his doorstep and threatens to rape his wife, shoot his dog and burn his house down…
Look everybody, a racist!
What is it like when anytime someone doesn’t give you want, you can only cry “racism.” Is that the first words you are taught as a baby?
Look, everybody, a snowflake!
Waiting for the comments
I agree with everyone’s opinions and simultaeneously disagree with the opinions of everyone’s opponents.
Won’t be long till we won’t want to watch college sports either. Maybe ole Herbstreit would feel better rioting with the guys.
Go away then. Football doesn’t need you.
Yes, it does. Desperately. Because of snowflakes like yourself, the sports aspect is giving way to the false narratives which are pushing more and more sane people away.
Oh my. That was a bit over the top. That’s why I don’t watch any of those shows.
Exactly. Before long you’ll have to watch the entire game with the sound muted.
Must be contract time for Herbie. Show your wokeness and get an extension. Or else.
Looks like Herbie is going thru a difficult time…those ultra-raw emotions. He is a college football commentator/announcer, not a social-justice warrior. Just do your job…Herbie.
He is doing his job.
Junior in college, leaving gym with my buddy. Suddenly blue lights all around us. “Get out of the car!!!” Guns drawn as we are forced to stand behind the car as they pilfer through it. Finally, after 30 minutes of the BS, they tell us we fit the discription of 2 guys who just robbed a liquor store. (we are both 240+ lb weightlifters) Imagine that.
See blaw, it happens to everyone, it is just that blacks are the only ones crying about it.
I’m certainly glad you weren’t shot. Black people in this country aren’t really protesting the fact that they get stopped by the police, they are protesting that they get shot (and arrested) at far, far higher rates than whites. As a 54 year old white, American male, I’ve lived in other countries where, due to the color of my skin, I was profiled and discriminated against. And while I can’t relate to being in black in America, I can relate to feeling angry that people treat me differently (stop me, check my id, threaten me, speak disrespectfully to me, etc.) just because of the color of my skin (and my nationality).
It’s a very different, and eye opening experience, when the shoe is on the other foot. I don’t agree with the protesters that turn violent, but I certainly understand the sense of anger and frustration with a system that has subtle and overt discrimination baked in at every layer. Even this football comments board has overt and subtle racism baked into it. I “tune in” to read about LSU football…and this is one of the few times I’ve bothered to comment because I know my comments and opinions, based on my own life experiences, aren’t welcome by a huge chunk of this site’s readers.
But I say all this in the hopes that one or two people might stop railing about protesters, liberals, BLM and whatever, and actually consider other people’s point of view. Not all white people are bigots, not all black people aren’t violent offender and criminals. The issues we’re grappling with aren’t black and white. They are delightful, disturbing, beautiful and discouraging shades of gray.
respectfully (to all).
Baloney. This has been disproven countless times. You are more likely to be killed by the police if you’re white. And stop saying it has anything to do with being black when the fact of the matter is that these people are criminals resisting arrest and deserve it.
Brandeaux- I am white. I was tortured for 4 years at the United States Post Office when I was working there. All the people who were involved doing bad things to me there were Blacks! How do you explained that! I was also given bad food and even thought I had food poison and was very sick for one week. I was on antibiotic. I also had been dealing with some Blacks around the St. Louis area. Why are they doing this to me? That is same reason Blacks are dealing with Whites that do bad things to them. Also notice some Blacks are not following the steps to take when they get pulled over. That it been repeatedly shown they ignored to follow order(s) when given.
Brandeaux I have been to other Countries too and have no problem! I guess you are paranoid!
Thankfully I don’t watch that garbage show…ESPN is a complete joke…I love football as much as anyone else but if they push this garbage every week…I can learn to do without it…let their ratings sink like the woke NBA and MLB … keep your politics to yourself little Herbie…
Please consider this. If a Policeman stops you for a traffic violation or whatever…What happens if you just cooperate with the Police ? There would be no violence whatever. It’s the person(s) who are resisting-arrest that get into these situations…no matter what color your skin is. That is where the problem lies. End of story.
Exactly!
You’re right. These situations we see replayed time after time on tv, if the person would just do what the cops are telling them to do, they would be alive. They might be arrested, but alive. Apparently that’s too simplistic for some to grasp.
AFan
I agree I did not enjoy Herbstreit’s theatrics. Change channel.You’re not wrong until the variable of mental illness etc is introduced into the equation and it’s a hard one to deal with and to ask people (= police) to deal with. Crazyass untreated mentally ill people who aren’t about to listen to the anyone much less the police when they’re having a charged episode. They don’t deserve to be shot they’re (usually) not the criminals the police are looking for they should just be charged and prosecuted if guilty … and then treated. And honestly does anyone want those folks to have guns? And honestly again does anyone really think we’re providing our police with the training needed to deal with these situations?? Severely undertrained and underpaid and that’s on US.
Rich white man relates to tweets of social injustice on the internet. Script says “cry here for a 90 million dollar extension”
I used to enjoy watching Gameday. Not anymore. Just tune in for the game, then tune out.
This must explain why Disney made Herbstreit their number one analyst and “leading college football expert”. It certainly isn’t his brilliant analysis or articulation.
Douchebag of the Year. @bubbaprog, too.
And the Oscar for crying to get points and get people to think Im a good person goes toooooooo. Kirk Herbstreit!
Cuck Herbie crying over social injustice? Is anyone shocked? This he/she has been menopausal for quite a while now.
You’re all going to have to watch games with the volume muted, because they’re talking about this at every game. Or not watch the games at all. Most of the players are black, so why would you want to watch?
Imagine the game with all white guys. Boring. Sleeper city. You guys should be watching bowling. Lots of white folks. And smoking cigarettes in honor of the south and your god given rights. Really rebel, be a man and stop wearing shoes in the grocery store too.
Your so hilarious…
Yeah, imagine…I might be able to watch sports without having to listen to someone b*tch and moan about “racism.” I bet some of these players who couldn’t get into school the first time around, must be because the SAT is racist.
What do we have to do to get this guy off the air? Our nation has turned our police into a branch of the military. This is not a color issue. It’s a planning, training, and strategy problem. The police are shooting all colors of people, aahhh we are watching it on TV. False profits in Waco, false cowboy in the Northwest, and why would they leave out minority races?????? This is why the NBA players association said we have to train police better and we have to obey the police better. ( and I think they meant it in that order)
Constitutionally, police are not the military. Do You see the problem. They are also not judge, jury, and executioners. I don’t want them shooting anyone ever, for what they have or my have done. Even those that have shot cops. Get them in court, maybe the police are worried about why someone acted out towards them. Therefore, murdering them is a solution. We never heard the full story of police killing their own, an ex navy seal in LA, California. He sighted corruption in the department. They killed him, burned the building and his truck and the evidence. Seems not so rare and a bit of a problem.
you watch too much conspiracy TV.
Misspelled “all tv”
You obviously don’t have any understanding of what the law says. It’s called self-defense, and the minute you want to take those laws away is the minute every officer in America walks off the job.
Straw Man and you know it – or maybe you prefer to stay on the surface. Google police without guns…
Funny. I’m not sure any one or us on here divulged our personal identity. “Police without guns.” Okay, do you think that this is Sweden, god you’re a f*cking idiot. Not analogous for numerous reasons. Even if it were, shockingly, people like you still complain about Rodney King. I mean, I don’t care if it’s a gun or a night stick bringing a strung out junkie to justice, personally. I mean, the only thing that upsets me about George is that they didn’t curb stomp him.
Might have knocked those wires in his brain back into place.
Coloradeaux-Do you think Americans will get rid of their guns if Cops do it too?! That is so funny! Also there are some that will carry guns around and use it to commit crimes! In places like Sweden are not like America and they are very little or no violence there. Also In America we have race issues and that is not a problem in Country like Sweden! Why? There are mostly of the same race and follow same culture. So, in America we have different races and cultures/lifestyles. That is why America is crashing down very quickly due to disagreement among different races and/or cultures/lifestyles!
*In a place like Sweden, which is not the same as America and there is very little violence there.
Lefty I’m not suggesting the police here in the U.S. don’t carry, just saying it works in some other countries – granted the histories and present situations are different, but Britain’s also on that list.
Yeah, let’s disarm the police. That way Rayshard and Jacob will be able to escape when they decide they don’t want to be arrested and pull a weapon. Why don’t you spend more time worrying about disarming felons and less time worrying about the cops? Ironically, when a majority of the violence is taking place in cities with draconian anti-gun laws, it’s pretty clear your perception of reality is warped at best.
Hahaha you obviously didn’t get into law school with such low reading comprehension.
Aww, Dildeaux didn’t have a response here! If that’s not what you’re saying, then why bring it up in the first place? What’s your point? You’re just trying to make excuses for your backtracking now that everyone’s pounced on your stupidity. Did they not offer any logic classes at Grambling?
Any else find it interesting that the country Dildeaux chose for this obviously eye opening comparison has a population that is roughly 95 percent white…uh oh!
Better start walking those comments back before Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton show up outside your door looking to start a riot.
I obviously state above that I am definitely not advocating for disarming the police here, and I acknowledge the countries with police who don’t carry have different situations than here. When you consistently rely on straw men to make your argument, you lose credibility (not that you had any with your proud overtly racist comments). Everything’s about race with you.
You know I think you just picked the wrong person to “argue” with- I’m definitely not who you think I am. Just like the people you’re so bigoted against aren’t who you they are.
Everything’s not about race…certainly an ironic statement from a BLM sympathizer. Not sure what “straw man” I’m relying on now.
Since you ignored it the first time, I’ll ask again. Since you are supposedly acknowledging that disarming the police doesn’t work and the analogy is inapplicable, then why bring it up? You’re full of it.
What are you going to do, tough guy? I think I know exactly the piece of sh*t you are so I’ll take my chances.
It’s all about race with me, yet you want to sympathize with a guy who molested a 14 year old girl, violated a court order by harassing his children’s mother and having contact with said children when he wasn’t supposed to, and then chose to attack the police when they tried to arrest him, all because he was black, which is really the only operative fact that computes in your tiny pea-sized brain.
What you’re suggesting is breathtakingly absent of reason and tbh either a result of genuine ignorance or intentional disregard for truth.
For starters, absolutely no one is advocating for police/military to have any interchangeability. No one.
There is zero support for police to be judge, jury and executioner. And that would include most, if not all, LEO’s.
Your attitude appears to be motivated almost entirely by extremely ignorant assumptions that are typically word-of-mouth sources.
Are you confusing real life with movies such as The Negotiator and 2Guns? I mean don’t get me wrong, I have no doubt corruption in some police precincts/sheriff offices/etc are corrupt from top down and then some no doubt have officers that should have never been officers. Idk where you live, but sounds like you need to alter the local leaders. I mean you realize that if a police dept is corrupt, then your mayor either knows and is complicit or just goes along. Won’t be mayor forever after all,
“Smoking cigarettes to honor the south.”
Wtf? Soooo…you’re clearly not Southern or knowledgeable about it. Shocker.
“God given rights”
As opposed to what? Government given rights?? If you think that’s the way to go, then you should really not even mention the US Constitution again. It is not granting you rights…it is restricting the govt from taking them. You know the whole f’ing reason behind the significance of this country’s founding and how it has impacted the entire world.
I guarantee you wear your mask, alone, in your car.
wolfman…”Obey the Police”…Great comment ! That’s all it takes to have zero violence. We must put the blame where it goes. The buck must stop somewhere…sometime
If people in America get back to GOD it will all turn around. UN-GODLINESS is the whole problem. If we do not turn around there will not be any football are any freedom in America. This is what happens every time a county turns it back on GOD. Killing babies why do you not get emotional about that. Why do you think all that is happen in America is not from pushing GOD out. Grown people decided to kill babies–that was turned around with this virus the young live and the old die WAKE UP
Coo-coo.
Exactly who is pushing God out? I see a lot of golden calves being worshipped. You know, the ones that seem to be okay with police murdering people for fun. Is that the ungodliness you speak of?
Leftists love killing little innocent babies! It’s there thing.. Black babies don’t matter
Exactly they have no trouble slaughtering babies every day…then want to bi*** about a cop shooting someone for resisting arrest…the same cops that they are the first to call..
I’m pasty ass white. I’ve raped and screwed by more white policemen, bankers, lawyers, and judges than any black person. When bark back at cops that make up lies they listen and stand down. If I was black I would be dead already. There are not a few bad apple cops. They are trained to lie and cheat. All of this must change. Police are levy fed. The money from policing is corruption. Not one dollar of citation money should ever benefit a community. And civil forfeiture, u should be legally permitted to shoot cops as they are literally robbing u. These cops are felons.
‘Been raped’
Cops protect your sorry butt every day.. shame on you! I bet you don’t even care when a black cop gets murdered you country hater
Are you mental or something?
Puke on that loser flag u fly down south. Yes, u lost. But u did kill 600,000 Americans. I believe that would be called domestic terrorism today. Grow up. Go to school. Develop a user friendly brain.
Ok you Commie…you feel better now? Get back to your antifa meeting…
Okay fascist. You feel better now? Get back to your white hood meeting.
You don’t know what facsism means.
BamaLuv…you idiot I’m not a fascist…which you have no idea what that means…and I da** sure don’t have a white hood you basement dwelling punk…get back to your Xbox..
When you call capitalism is so you call fascism because you don’t know what that is.
It never fails to amaze me how many people go straight to the most absurd accusations…Fascist! Nazi! All the while sincerely believing themselves doing something more than just proving their own stupidity.
So when you condemn BLM as a Marxist Socialist (self-proclaimed) front for cultural breakdown and how their “peaceful” protests morph into rioting, looting, and killing you make some lame reference to the Civil War? And we are the ones with damaged brains?
But they somehow, during all of black history month, fail to recognize the 620,000 who died, fighting for their freedom.
Do you think the Media and Government would lie to you? well they did, the Civil War was over Cotton, Tobacco & Taxes. if the Civil War was about slavery why was the Civil War in its 2nd year before the slaves were freed, and then only the slaves in the south were freed, the north got to keep theirs slaves.
Ok, so if BLM is fighting a war, why aren’t troops shooting back? Moron.
Invoking the Civil War? That’s your retort? My God, man, have the massage parlors not opened up yet? Hold steady until then…everything’s going to be alright.
Here’s my issue with blm if blm really matters then why do the people in their communities refuse to assist the police when murders occur in their neighborhoods? Why does everyone say I didn’t see anything knowing full well who the guilty are. Why don’t they report their children out selling drugs? Why don’t they report relatives bragging about the loot they show off from breaking into businesses? This blm crap is just that ! When blm matters then you step up and show your younger children an example of what being a responsible parent, adult, grandparent, aunt, uncle or any other responsible relative is, you shoulder the RESPONSIBILITY of being a positive member of society. You act responsible, you teach responsibility you quit being a part of the problem, you quit hiding the irresponsible behavior of your children. If you want society to accept that blm matters then start acting like blm matters. Teach your kids that an education is much better than just being a baby daddy or a daughter raising children by multiple fathers. Teach them then maybe society will accept blm.
I like your point! Unfortunately the reality of violence and other deterrents keeps people from telling on their own. Believe me the conversation has been had and wisely shut down. Shame…
I had to turn the Volume off on the Football games yesterday. due to all of ESPNs Preaching… I am sick and tiered of them call for the end of racialism without them showing any real prof of racialism. I am also surprised that SDS is letting us comment on this story, they have been locking the comments on the other BLM stories.
Never really cared for gameday.. One more reason to not watch.. Quit mixing sports and politics!!
Gatormike20…Agreed 100% +1
The odd thing about the BLM movement is that the only black lives that matter to them are the blacks that are killed by whites or the police. The blacks killed by blacks don’t seem to matter at all.
Because it isn’t about black lives. It’s about perpetuating the narrative they have been taught since birth in order for to get more handouts
What a douchebag.
Yeah, it’s “wearing a hoodie,” not the fact that poor innocent Trayvon attacked somebody because his first instinct since birth is to fight, not to act like a civilized human. Just like the rest of them. Where’s Herbie’s tears over the 14 year old that Jake Blake molested?
They aren’t afraid of cops. If they were, why do cops keep getting attacked? Want something to be afraid of, let’s talk about the other members of your own race who might shoot you for wearing the wrong colored shoe laces assuming it’s a gang sign.
Racism is always wrong but stop with agenda. This is completely staged. Also, racism exists on both sides of the spectrum but only one group of people gets called out for it. Doesn’t matter what color you are, racism is wrong.
I understand how bad this has gotten. But one thing I don’t like is the hate going to all the Police. You have to look at the Police that committed the horrible crimes as individuals. Not as a group.
Isn’t that almost what racism is? Disrespecting one group because of their culture or race? People putting Police men in that category of hate are no worse than people who are racist imo because their criticizing one group (police) just like racist people are criticizing one group because of their skin.
No one should be judged by the color of their skin. Nor their job. I want to say every life matters. Why can’t we just use that? Because every single individual life matters despite skin color, despite our jobs, despite our culture. Every life matters.
I’m shocked they kept the comments open on this one. I don’t really watch ESPN anymore because they’ve decided to jump into the world of politics and report the news almost as much as an actual news network. It’s a joke really. You used to be able to escape the often toxic culture surrounding politics by tuning into channels like ESPN. I respect their right to have their own opinions, but nobody is willingly tuning into Herbstreit to hear about social justice. Nobody on either side of the aisle wants to be preached to by a multi-millionaire living a life so disconnected from the vast majority of Americans.
^^this^^
Your kids didn’t attend Montgomery Bell Academy, the richest school in Nashville, while getting to ride the bench to a ring due to their namesake?
Kurk Hurbstreibbtbt is heretofore a pansy.
At least we have Jason Whitlock.
Everyone who wants to see a horrible example of police brutality, google Daniel Shavers. Then ask where was Kaepernick? Nevermind, Daniel was white, so it doesn’t count. Last year 8 unarmed blacks killed by police…..19 whites. Explain??
Doesn’t fit the narrative…the past 5 months have all been about November 3rd…if they get Orange man out of office all these bought and paid for protest will end…if Orange man wins it’s only going to get worse..
But Orangeman bad
Christ why do you guys leave the comments open on any of these articles? Even the apolitical ones are almost always taken over by these trolls. It would be nice to get some sports news updates about a topic I enjoy and not have to be reminded how toxic the culture of this community is
You’re so full of sh*t it’s not funny. You don’t have any issue being reminded of “how toxic the culture of this community is”, you just don’t like reading any opposition to the BLM movement. The headline of this article couldn’t have been more candid about its political tone. What does Kirk Herbstreit crying about BLM have to do with sports, other than that sports themselves have decided to adopt the plight of the SJW? If you didn’t want to get into it, you could have simply avoided the clickbait. But that’s the point. You’re being disingenuous. Your only issue is people who don’t support Kirk’s blubbering comment on an article about Kirk’s disingenuous blubbering.
You’re so full of sh*t it’s not funny. You don’t have any issue being an SJW yourself, you just don’t like reading any opposition to the altright movement. JamGator couldn’t have been more candid about his political tone in his first sentence. What does JamGator crying about trolls like you (and your multiple accounts) have to do with the altright movement, other than that you yourself have decided to adopt the plight of the SJW on random sports websites? If you want to convince people to be racist, you could simply go to infowars. But that’s the point. You’re being disingenuous. Your only issue is people who don’t support your blubbering comments about your cowardly blubbering from behind the keyboard.
Do you even know what an SJW is, Dildeaux? It’s funny you call anyone at all out for being a troll after inserting yourself into a thread you had not previously commented on for no reason other than to respond to my post, though I appreciate your use of NPR buzzwords such as “alt-right” and “racism.” Difference here is that I’m not complaining to the SDS mods to shut morons like you up, despite the low intelligence of everything you say. Take a deep breath, go listen to some NPR and go pound your partner up the @ss.
Keep supporting Jacob Blake. Good to know that you support a child rapist, but hey, if he’s black he can do no wrong. Like having the get out of jail free card. If you’re black the rules don’t apply.
How many selfies do you have with your mouth open and do you watch Rick and Morty?
Thanks for proving my point troll
Mmkay. Go listen to some more NPR. I’m sure you’ll be safe from anyone calling out the BLM movement and you can stick to hearing about the heroics of Lebron James calling out “white privilege” as he drives back to his own predominantly white neighborhood.
Jesus reading your comments on this article alone it’s obvious what a bigoted POS you are. That, or your just trolling for laughs, in which case you’re still a POS. In either case, you are exactly to whom I am referring to when I say “toxic culture.” Living with all that hate is sad. Believe it or not I actually do feel sorry for you, and hope and pray you can find some peace. A heart full of hate will send you to an early grave.
I know, I too am literally shaking right now
“Bigoted”. Okay. I know common sense has no place anymore; hence why you want to make child rapists like Jacob Blake martyrs when they get shot after attacking cops. I feel sorry for you. You spend your life so afraid of being called a “racist” or close minded that you’re literally incapable of anything resembling independent thought. Take the corporate argument for “diversity” for example. People like you like pontificate about how diversity exposes us to “different points of view.” Really funny how a group of people so dedicated to being against stereotypes can assume that by virtue of being black, you have a different world view.
Really sucks being called out on your sh*t, doesn’t it?
This guys a multiple account Social Justice Warrior (yes it goes both ways troll) who’s never made a football comment here, has other accounts that have been removed, and is just trying to stir it up at election time at the marching orders of someone who knows they can manipulate his feeble mind. Worst type of unAmerican unpatriotic scum out there.
It’s funny you calling me a bigot despite people like Walter Williams, Brandon Tatum, the Hodge Twins, Thomas Sowell, Candace Owens and others have expressed similar view points. Now, I know, they’re just a bunch of uncle Toms. But at the same time, after telling us all that white people can’t understand and dismissing the views of a bunch of black people seems…dare I say…hypocritical?
I wish we could bring back the draft so that we could assign Dildeaux Tigah to be our permanent IED tester. Cal it natural selection. Funny a guy who doesn’t even know who Breonna Taylor is despite his support for BLM is just hilarious. The fact that idiots like you can vote is horrifying.
Truly amazing how Dildeaux can call anyone out for “not posting about football” while also supporting the Kylin Hills of the world. Isn’t that just fascinating.
Yikes. Yes you are obviously a bigot. I don’t know what you think you’ve “called me on” but what you have shown is that you are hopelessly out of touch if you don’t think that someone who comes from a community where they are 3 times more likely to die during childbirth, where they experience unemployment at a disproportionate rate, where they possess a disproportionately lower amount of wealth, where they are disproportionately underrepresented in government, where they are twice as likely to have experienced poverty than their white counterparts, and where they are 2.5 times more likely to be killed by police, would have a different world view than a white person, you’re incredibly ignorant. If you believe that all racial groups are in fact equal, then you must recognize that racial disparity is the result of racial discrimination. If your response to those statistics is that “black Americans are just lazier, dumber, and more prone to criminal behavior” then you are a bigot. But I get the feeling from you’re previous comments that that is exactly how you feel.
Oh my god you can’t be serious. Does the grip of white guilt really have you that bad? Let me tell you, first of all, I have watched black students get special treatment at every stop. In law school, the black professors somehow always gave them the best grades (go figure). They got scholarships despite having, at best, questionable academic credentials. They paired off and did their own thing rather than integrating into the community at large. Now, today, you want to continue preaching this narrative of mistreatment. Despite 40 plus years of the welfare state and social programs designed to supposedly help blacks, there they sit at the starting line. When are people like you going to start holding them accountable rather than continuing to blame someone else? Why is it that literally every other minority group in America has progressed besides blacks?
“Disproportionately represented in government?” First of all, you’re a racist because you assume that someone represents all black people by virtue of them also being black. Second of all, they make up roughly 12 percent of the 435 house members so please explain to me how they’re “disproportionately represented” despite comprising 13 percent of the US population? Why don’t you stop listening to MSNBC and start engaging your brain?
And you’ve been called out on the fact that your recital of statistics has no logical causative link whatsoever to racism other than the fact that you claim it’s happening to black people. Funny. If the world is systemically racist, why isn’t this phenomenon happening to Asians? What about Indians? And by your logic, if having another brown person in congress equals you being represented, Asians and Indians are far more underrepresented than blacks. You’re a phony. A race baiter who does nothing but regurgitate the nonsense the public education system has engrained into his head, with no ability for independent thought.
Maybe the black students are just *smarter* than you hahahaha bet that burns your little white hiney
Lol, no. Not really. What do you make? $65? Lol you’re such a joke.
And what are they smarter at? “Axing” questions? Lol
You guys know Jamal’s dad? Neither does he.
I’m going to make an educated guess and say because of bigots like you being a pervasive problem in this country. Prove you’re not a bigot and read “Stamped from the Beginning” and tell me that the research and theories of that book do not hold up.
Jesus I don’t know why I’m engaging with you, you’re beyond help. 5 to 1 odds you’re a Russian operative trying to sow dissent, 2 to 1 you’re just a troll getting his kicks by being a POS
A liberal’s kryptonite…logic and personal responsibility. Didn’t realize my kin controlled New York, LA, Chicago, Seattle and Portland, where the government has established subsidized ghettos and generational poverty is the norm. I know reality is hard.
You nailed it Jam, Russia is back at it and this tool is doing their bidding for free. He only responds to further his racist narrative.
lol, sounds like a conspiracy theory. When Trump wins in November, the two of you should kill yourselves. Seriously, turn up “that’ll be the day” as loud as it’ll go.
Because they make up 3% of the Senate despite being 13% of the population and I don’t watch my news, I read it. AP, Reuters, BBC, real news and journalism
That’s a retarded statement considering the senate polls the whole state. Name a state in which blacks comprise the majority? Oh. None, well, okay then. Unless of course in your world you believe black votes are worth more than white votes (as an apologist I assume you do). Not to mention the absurdity of assuming that someone who is the same race is representative of that person’s interest. By that logic, Pelosi is my girl because she’s white. God you’re stupid.
But it is good to know that even a liberal like you believes that dem representation of blacks is inadequate unless the politician also happens to be black. See the irony of you accepting your party’s own failure there? Why should they vote for Biden when a white guy wont possibly do? Maybe they should put Mr. T up as a 3rd party candidate to represent the black contingent.
Buddy you’re more of a liberal than me. I’m a full blown leftist, radicalized by b@st@rds such as yourself. South Africa pretty much still has Apartheid in place if the enduring inequality here ever starts to wane a little too much for you. I’m sure they could use a racist lawyer like you to keep the “inferiors” in their place. FYI I’m currently in law school myself at an HBCU, in fact, hoping to pursue a career in civil rights law. Engaging with a garbage excuse of a human being has confirmed that for me. Again, praying that you find some peace in this life. Lord knows you need it
LOL. So you got what, line a 110 on the LSAT? Way to write your name correctly!
Aside from mental retardation, the only other reason for you to want to go there is to be only amongst your own kind, something you’d rail against whites for. But hey, when FAMU gets to the Heritage Bowl, they can again claim themselves “black national champions.” Hypocrites.
Civil rights law, eh? Watch out, for Morris Dees was cannibalized by his own kind. Don’t think I didn’t notice your lack of argument for what I said, because you have none.
But don’t worry….big firms like the one I work for will still come and recruit you because they’re scared of FAMU crying racism, despite the majority of kids who go there not knowing English and having a sub-75 IQ.
I chose FAMU because it was close to where I already lived and I got close to a full ride there with my 176 LSATs. And FYI, the lowest score you can get is a 120. Shocking that you couldn’t even get that right
It was hyperbole. If you were interested in actually making money as a lawyer you wouldn’t go to a school that, but for being historically black, would have had its ABA accreditation pulled. But notice how my stereotype was correct. Hahahahahahaha
And don’t give me any bullsh*t about being close to home..,home must be somewhere near Orlando…Gainesville is a short 2 hour or so drive up north. If you couldn’t do that my only guess is you didn’t get in, and sure as h#ll didn’t get a 176.
Nah I got in and a good chunk of money to go there, but I’m not going to drive 4 hours round trip daily when I already own a home 20 minutes from FAMU lol and cracked a 176 first time around, just cause you struggled with a sub 150 score doesn’t mean others can’t aspire to greater things
Hey fakelawyerboy I dare you to tell us the “big firm” where you work…
Oh, still hiding behind the keyboard?
Coloradeaux not gonna lie took me until just now to realize you’re a Rocky Mountain Tigah and not saying you’re a two color tiger in French lol
Aww, 5 digit salary…has to suck so much being you. What law school did you go to? Oh, you didn’t go to one? That’s what I thought,
What do you even do for a living, CT? I’m going to bet my $170I/yr salary that it could be done by a 10 year old retarded na g g er.
At FAMU, do you even do the Socratic method, or do they just hand you a coloring book and have you watch School House Rock? Hahahaha. I’m going to die laughing
CT, name a member, any member of the AMLAW100. Oh, you don’t know what that is? Of course you don’t. Why don’t you head on back to your Xbox? I hear your friends are heading to REI tomorrow and can get you an employee discount,
CT, your low IQ makes a lot more sense now. LSU isn’t what most of us would call a “good” school, but it seemed pretty far out your league. You’re not an LSU Tiger (I know, spelling is hard). You’re a Grambling Tiger hahahahahaha
That has to be tough…imagine not just being from Louisiana where the average IQ is in the single digits, but then having to go to Grambling where they regularly have to check and make sure kids aren’t totally brain dead…but I’m sure you made it onto the world renowned beep ball team. What was your major? Street chemistry? Did you make a lot of chains during arts and crafts time?
Yeah. Sure you got into Levin…if my choice was having a useless degree from a clown college or not going, I’ll go with not going. Stetson and even Barry are less horrible than FAMU. Barry is also in wh-orelando. But you got a 176. Sure…and Jeff Bezos is my uncle. Hahahahahaha.
And what was the name of that “big firm” you work for again? Oh yeah that’s right, you’re just a keyboard coward who would never dare espouse your views in public because you’re *scared*. We all know absolutely noone would hire you in a million years if you said any of the things in public that you’re saying here, so you’re lying about something. How’s it feel walking around all day knowing you can’t say what you really feel in public? Hypocritical coward.
BTW I make more in one hour than you make in several days mwah!
So basically I’m a “coward” because liberal trash like you has effectively silenced the entire population and forced their will on everyone by threatening their livelihood. Okay. Go back to your five figure job, loser. I’ve had to listen to this diversity nonsense for years. While I may not openly rail against it, I just silently refuse to participate in any of it knowing full well that it is bullsh*t.
And maybe you should keep it up, threatening me, then I’ll just do what your liberal friends do and suck on the public welfare teet and you can have the joys of supporting me and my family. But hey, you’ll at least have the self-righteous satisfaction of knowing that you eviscerated racism. Moron.
Great, now we’re getting somewhere. You’re obviously ashamed of yourself, or you wouldn’t put out an anonymous opinion. And don’t blame it on how politically correct non-racist society will judge you harshly – if you were as tough as you want us all to believe, you’d have no problem being yourself in public. Maybe you’re smart enough to realize the incongruity of your actions, and what that points to with you?
If you won’t say it publicly, why type it not just keep it to yourself? I was always taught not to be ashamed of who I am.
I’m not ashamed of anything. You’re full of sh*t that political correctness has nothing to with the censorship mob culture. Businesses these days can’t even get by without making a statement in support of BLM and anyone who says anything against it has to face the consequences. You’re a hypocrite. I’m not sharing my identity with you because I don’t know you. You think that makes me a coward yet I don’t know your first and last name or home address. Don’t call out others for something you yourself are not willing to do. Like I have said in the past, those who know me personally know how I think and feel. I don’t hide it. The fact that I’m not willing to share my identity with a douchebag liberal troll who very clearly is only on here to try and assert his own sense of morality and self-righteous douchebaggery, I say it on here because it’s about the only outlet where I still can. I know it really irks you lefties that your culture of censorship has not yet come up an answer for internet anonymity. You are completely full of sh*t about “being open and honest with everyone.” If your employer told you to take your political views and stuff them up your @ss, you’d shut your mouth too because, as it turns out, even a creature as stupid as you still needs to be able to put food on the table to survive. And before you try and tell me that you can’t be fired for your political views, think again. I know you think that your views are virtuous and therefore not in the same category as mine, but it turns out, political views of any sort, are not a protected class and your employer can fire you if they don’t like what you say. I know you didn’t go to law school, but here’s your free legal lesson of the day.
Now why don’t you and your 17-year old Tacoma take a trip up to the REI store. I’m sure you’ll find some hippies who will commiserate with you and nice new “eracism” shirt to make yourself feel better.
Yeah, political correctness has nothing to do with it. Yet you and your underlings use the words “racism,” “sexism” and “homophobia” (kudos on that one. What better way to diffuse any argument than to label anyone who doesn’t agree with one’s lifestyle choices to have some sort of affliction, made up by you) as weapons to force your will on society such that merely questioning policy motives will be destroyed. Way to completely shut down the opposition to your side. And then people start to grow deep-seeded feelings of resentment and douchebags like you act like you somehow don’t understand why that is. Really?
And why do I do it? The fact that I know how much it bothers a little douchebag weasel like you is justification enough. Picturing your distraught face and anger brings a smile to my face.
Can’t believe SDS is permitting comments on articles dealing with “social justice”, must be low on clicks again. I’m not sure what’s more fake-his trotting our the debunked hands up Mike Brown theory or the crocodile tears.
If this article ran across the country in the various regions of Saturday down south I wonder what their comment section would be like. Didn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that the most venomous hateful attacks on Herbstreit would come from the fan base of the Southeastern Conference. I’ve been a southerner all my life and some of you are absolutely embarrassing. Why don’t you worry about the eight or nine Independent News sources that have confirmed the horrible things your cult leader is saying about our military. Go Gators
Delandman, glad to see a fellow Gator show an ounce of d@mn sense
Fellow gator…just as I thought…minority scholarship for undergrad but, not dice for Levin…ya had a bad day, your minority scholarships ran away…
my man I’m as white as they come lol
And I got into Levin no problem lol just already owned a home in Orlando and wasn’t gonna sell it so I could move back to Gainesville
Oh! You got a minority scholarship to go to a tier 4 law school! I knew those! Got
money to attend U Are Probably Black.
Wow…you took a scholarship to go to FAMU…I’m trying not to die laughing. What do they have, like a 30 percent bar passage rare? Hahahahahahahahaha. Yeah, you got into Levin, sure! Hahahahahahaha! Was your other option Florida Coastal or Nova Southeastern? Hahahahahahahahaha
I’m sorry, a white guy that goes to FAMJ…you must realize at the end of the day, you’re where and you’re not going to get any jobs by virtue of being a white guy who goes to FAMU, right? Sorry, no affirmative action for that. Oh my god, I’m going to cough up a lung.
Thanks for the centrist, rational tank. This site needed someone to be the moral authority and I’m glad you could nominate yourself.
*take

White guilt runs deep. For the record, born and raised in the Midwest. In fact, for most of my life in that stage directly south of where poor Jacob Blake was shot on his way home from volunteering for the orphans. Turns out, I just have a d@mn low tolerance for bullsh*t.
But your right, I’m so much more concerned with the president pulling funding for an editorial magazine than I am about the media falsely reporting that the cops shot Jacob Blake after trying to break up a fight rather than the reality, which was that the cops were called to the scene because Jacob was violating a restraining order. Or the fact that people like you continue to defend the perspective of protesters who keep painting graffiti promoting violence against police officers. People like you have no respect for law enforcement but suddenly I’m supposed to believe you have this deep respect for the military? Smh. Just another example of the left trying to stir up another controversy to destroy the credibility of its boogie man. Meanwhile, Kamel-toe is out there telling an alleged sex offender how proud she is of him.
I remember after 9/11 how sports was something for everyone to lock arms and enjoy together to take a break from all the world’s sadness and tragedy.
Gosh, that was a long time ago.
Herb seems to be angling for the a d job in oxford
By the way….if any black kids are getting snuffed over their Nike gear…….it’s not by a white guy…
Academy Award.
For those complaining about the comment section being locked on some articles and preventing “debate and opinion” here is your reason. 2 dudes take over with their slap fest and make the section pointless.
At one point I was actively complaining about comment sections being disabled. The comments on this article make it difficult to continue to make that argument. I don’t support censorship and am wary of private companies squashing speech, however some of the children in this comment section are patently ridiculous.
There are not enough ways to despise that guy…
For those sympathizing with black LIES matter, answer me this simple question: at what point exactly will we be square and I can stop listening to people b*tch and whine about “racism”. You have no answer to this question because the truth is it never will. It’s like listening to a bunch of petulant children whining about how the other kids got more ice cream, constantly. It must be nice knowing that your circumstances are never your own fault.
