To all my White Brothers.I got a book at the library of all the NFL Cards from roughly 1956-1986.I noticed in the 1950's there were only about 5/6 blacks per team and some teams didn't have any [Redskins}.Things were going along good until the late 1960's and really got bad after 1970.Now I have a question-what happened?? I can't accept that White men got so weak in less then 5 years.You don't go from Sam Huff to Mr.Rogers that fast.What is behind this Caste System?What can we do to turn things around?I want to see NFL teams with an all-White Offense and Defense.The Green Bay Packers were very White in the 1960's and were a Championship team.So what happened?We had White RB's,White LB's,White receivers and DB's and they were Hall of Fame players.Who started this "decline" of White players???

According to what I've heard (I think Jimmy Chitwood or Colonel
Reb posted on this) Coach Bear Bryant
and the SEC.
Also, of note are dominant performances by guys like Bob Beaman in the
long jump and Muhammad Ali in boxing and Wilt and Bill Russell in
basketball and Jim Brown in football. This made Americans think that
blacks were just plain
better athletes, and then the media took this myth right under it's
wings and emphasized it....But as we all know on this site, whites are
great athletes, and have advantages over blacks in certain areas
athletically. And
thankfully, we're making a comeback in sprints etc. in track, and also
in
areas such as boxing and the NBA...Basically there are whites competing
in the elite ranks of every sport except certain postitions in the NFL,
for some reason the NFL will not
accept white athleticism, it's quite ridiculous really.
Interesting though, as good as Jim Brown was Jim Taylor outrushed him
one season for the league rushing title...People forget this.

There was a "gentlemen's agreement" not to have more than 6 black players on a team in the NFL. When the blacker AFL won Super Bowl 3 and then merged with the NFL, the quota was abolished effectively and with it, nearly all of "anti-black racism" in the NFL.
In the late 1970s, the whole culture changed and people started to buy into "black athletic supremacy", along with other things. It really correlates with business' distancing from the public as powerful companies began practically making laws. As huge corporations began to act like a government, colleges recruited fewer whites to fit their ideals.
Gigantic companies, like Socialist/Communist countries, like people to be like interchangeable parts without a conscience. This fits right into the Caste System. Whites were considered unfit, based on mild stereotypes, for anything to do with speed. At the same time, these gigantic networks with molds for different peoples were not allowed to say anything derogatory about blacks, although originally they did complement white inferiority with speed to black inferiority with skill and intelligence, but political correctness ruled.
A Caste System was not originally intended to be anti-white really; whites were given skill and intelligence by huge networks, blacks were just given speed. As political correctness took over, blacks had to be considered equal to whites in all areas, but whites didn't have to be equal to blacks. This spawned the false notion of "black supremacy."

Riggins and Freedom are both correct, just on different levels. The gentleman's agreement in the NFL was pretty much in force through the 1969 season. After that, teams did get noticeably blacker and quick. Another factor that played into the changing of the league from majority white in the 1970s to majority black by the mid 1980s was the growing Big Lie of black athletic superiority thanks to the media and coaches like Bear Bryant, who effectively made it ok for most SEC teams to recruit and play blacks. The SEC by and large, had not integrated in 1970, but it would only take 3 years for every SEC team to have blacks starting after Bryant's infamous locker room exhibition that year (for more info, look here [url]http://www.castefootball.us/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=435&PN =13&TPN=1[/url]). LSU was the last to fall in 1973. With the SEC going black, there were a lot less white backs and skill players to pick from, and as they disappeared from the O and D backfields throughout the country, it didn't take long for the NFL to replicate it. Most work I've seen shows that by 1985 the NFL was majority black.Edited by: Colonel_Reb

In Vandy's case, they have kept academic standards high compared to their competition, thus mandating a lighter shade of player. However, since Bobby Johnson has become coach, he has been outspoken in saying Vandy must focus more on athletics and lower their standards so as to compete in the SEC. This year's Vandy team was the blackest ever, with 9 whites starting, 2 less than Kentucky. I sure was hoping Kentucky would be in the Liberty Bowl, now it looks like Jimmy Chitwood and I will have to bear with seeing South Carolina. I saw them on August 31st in Starkville, and don't really care to see them again, but maybe I can get some better pictures of Steve Spurrier if nothing else.
We also plan to do a little player scouting while there.
