Make them play you at running back.
He can't. We know that white players don't have that kind of leverage. Sure, a black prima donna could b*tch and moan and get what he wants- although even that has its limits (see Terrell Owens.) He can hope and pray for a shot at the taboo position (a very risky move,) do whatever they want (playing at safety wouldn't be so bad, really,) or go to a different (read: smaller) school. It's up to him.

What is wrong with these colleges when they force MVP High School Running Backs to play other positions.
We know.

I hope he holds his ground and demands a shot at running back.
He's not in a position to demand anything.

They have several other incoming freshman running backs and one of them is only around 5'6.Yet because he is black,they want to keep him at running back.What a joke.
It is a joke, a cruel joke. That's why white athletes need to be educated. They need to know what we know. It would be great if they could find this site, especially the recent article about this very topic, otherwise they probably won't have the knowledge to make a wise decision. Maybe they'll get lucky and land in great situations, like Mike Hass. Think about it, what if he had been a walk-on at USC or Miami instead of Oregon State? He probably would've sat the bench for his entire collegiate career. Instead he has become the best WR in the country. This Bolasky kid needs to know where he should go to maximize his chances of getting a starting job- preferably at his best position, but even if it's at a different position, he needs a fair opportuniy to play.
We call it the Caste System for a reason. White players better know their place, and either
intelligently resist it, or accept it.
