Many college basketball teams these days are effectively segregated, i.e., all-black. This includes many teams in the NCAA tournament.

However, as the tournament progresses, the proportion of integrated teams, i.e., those with significant white players, increases. Last year's Duke-Butler final was the perfect illustration of this.

I, for one, have always believed that the best teams are integrated. Why, in spite of the patent evidence, do coaches persist in recruiting all-black teams?

Jack Armstrong, welcome to Caste Football! Last year's NCAA final was much different than a lot of recent championships in that White players made up a sizable percentage of the players. The answer to your question lies in the persistent belief of many coaches in the big lie of black athletic supremacy. This myth is being exposed more and more, but the powers that be, along with the media, want to see White men believe they are inferior, so they steadily push non-white athletes on us and build them up. Hopefully the truth will win out over time and the Caste System will die.

Colonel Reb,

Very true. Way too many marginal black players at best. The vast majority of which cannot shoot.
Duke yields white friendly teams year in and year out and wins. Recent mid-majors such as Gonzaga have
had success with "less talented" players. Lots of Cinderella teams are usually very white. Hopefully others are seeing this too.

If a team from a mid major conference wanted to win, what they would need to do is recruit the under-hyped white players.

Every team in the past two decades has tried to copy the Fab Five, forgetting that they never won the NCAA championship and, in fact, lost to traditional, white friendly teams (Duke and UNC).
