I originally intended this to be my 1000th post, but I unwittingly responded to two other threads and got up to 1,001. Either way, I still wanted to commemorate the occasion for reaching this milestone.
Caste football is the only website I have been visiting for this long. Back in 2006, I was really getting into college football. At one of the games I went to, I was actually shocked by the number of white receivers that warmed up before the game, but didn't actually get any playing time. In fact, there were probably only 3 black receivers suited up for the game and 2 started while the other rotated in. There was only 1 white receiver who rotated in, about about 5 who probably only got in on special teams if at all. These were probably walk-ons. Then I noticed that the team my school was playing (these were big time college football programs), and I noticed how they had several white receivers, at at times whites would be 10 of the 11 offensive spots on the field. Prior to that, though I didn't have a strong belief in it, I assumed blacks were better receivers and running backs, and that whites were better at O-line, QB, and some of the defensive spots. I never believed blacks were superior athletically, just that for some reason they were better at certain positions.
That's when I started to google search for white WRs, RBs and corners. Which led me to this site. I lurked for a while, interested mostly in the posts that debated the reasons for the lack of white athletes at these positions, and especially in posts which described white RBs that had steller careers, but were overlooked, like John Dergo:
Dergo ended up receiving an athletic scholarship on the wrestling team at the University of Illinois, as he was an undefeated state champion. Which leads me to wonder how many other stellar high school athletes who had everything coaches are supposedly looking for, are either playing FCS, D2, D3, NAIA or are D1 in another sport, or like Hunter Furr, lingering away on a FBS bench? How many other high school running backs had their hometown crowds riled up on Friday nights, have their pictures hung on the wall of the local delis, but have now graduated college, working 9-5 or maybe even working at that hometown deli, when black athletes of similar or even lesser accomplishments went on to play in front of crowds of 100k plus, and were given a free four year job training program and exposure to the NFL?
This leads me to where we come in here at Caste Football. Dergo was in high school just as CF was launched, and barely known even to those interested. Coinciding with the rise of CF has been the proliferation of the supposed importance of the star rating system used by Scouts inc., ESPN, and Rivals:
Caste Football has served well as an outlet, a free-speech zone if you will, were we can speak our voice to each other without fear of reprimand or social repercussions. The time is nigh that we take it to the next level. As others and I have suggested, we need put on our helmet, button our strap, and get in the game of activism.
First, we need to identify what we want. I'm pretty sure all of us want to see white representation in college football and basketball, NBA, NFL, and sprinting to increase. Furthermore, we want to see more white representation among wide receivers, running backs, and all defensive positions, but especially cornerback. We also want to dismiss the false notion of innate black athletic superiority (IBAS), and the converse notion of innate white athletic inferior (IWAI). The belief in IBAS/IWAI, combined, I call FRAB-False Racial Athletic Beliefs.
If FRAB were decreased, white participation in the aforementioned sports would increase, and as those increased FRAB, otherwise known as Bowden Syndrome, would further decrease.
There are two ways we can both decrease FRAB, and increase white participation. Both involve leading people to the CF blog and discussion forum. The first way is for our talented writers to churn out articles both highlighting the accomplishments of white athletes, as well as the pitfalls that white athletes face, which is the caste system. That is in process and I hope it continues, with fresh relevant articles that often generate comments in the triple digits.
The second way is to arm up and engage in guerrilla information warfare. This is done having a rapid response team here that will comment on relevant articles outside Caste Football where DWFs may be making erroneous comments. This is also done by leaving Caste Football calling cards so to speak.
Leaving the calling cards can be done in three ways. One is to purchase the official Caste Football business cards .
If too many business cards get ordered, than let's get our own made and leave them wherever possible. Assume a certain percentage of the cards will be destroyed, and hope that one in ten who gets their hands on them will be moved to check out the site. Every mention, every utterance of Caste Football has its purpose. There might be some people who have to hear about CF a hundred times before they come.
The other way to leave calling cards is to do so on the internet. Every chance I get to comment on FRAB internet posts, I make sure to leave a link (which are usually allowed) to Caste Football. The more often this floats out in cyberspace, the more people who will come over and change their beliefs, and then more people who will go on informing others. We can always anonymously sign up, leave the comments with the link to Caste Football. We can even go on craigslist in different cities and create posts with links to Caste Football, and even have days where several of us engage in a link bomb, much like what Council of Conservative Citizens did on New Years Day.
I never believed it took 10% of the population to believe something for a change to be made. I felt that you only needed 10% of the people to do believe to actually step up and continually do something on behalf of those beliefs, and then society will change. As Margaret Mead said:
Lastly, I saw a great idea at Unamusement Park which we can expropriate for our own purposes. The blogger has created a series of pro-white or otherwise informative fliers that are easy to print out, with pertinent information both alerting people of black crime, and encouraging people to be proud of their ethnic white identity. We can come up with our own fliers that either explain white discrimination in sports with situations like John Dergo, or even Danny Woodhead who didn't even get invited to the NFL combine, as well as the accomplishments of white athletes. A link can be placed on the bottom. We can then print out hundreds of these fliers in low-ink, which still look good, and place them in free-newspaper inserts, on seats of busses at universities on game-day, car windshields at sports events, university bulletin boards, or even tape them on the inside of bathroom stalls at sports bars and sports events. If you are afraid of being seen, just stick to the more clandestine stuff. Expect a lot of the stuff to be thrown away, but that you WILL indeed reach a number of people. I will work on make a prototype flier.
If we do this, we can and will make a difference. Although it's hard to quantify, I believe we already have.
Thanks to all those who post with great information here, and who have already had discussions on the internet, with friends, family, and DWFs. Even if they didn't believe you at the time, it surely gave them something to think about. Who knows when someone might join our side of the fence.
Thanks to Don Wassall for keeping this site up, as well as to the other admins and long-time posters who keep this site fresh and interesting. I am the eternal optimist and always feel that we will at least get back to a late 60s/early 70s level of white athletes in NFL, NBA, college football and basketball, and sprinting. I feel that a lot of bad, twisted, logically falacious, and self-destructive ideologies have been believed and allowed to persist throughout human history. I believe that ultimately, the light will shine through and expose what's wrong, and that nature and society has a way of correcting the things that went wrong. I believe Wes Welker's success from 2007-present has done considerable damage to the caste system, as has Toby Gerhart's 2009 Heisman worthy season at Stanford, and Peyton Hillis' rise as a star running back in an age when the concept of a white primary ball-carrier had disappeared years earlier.
I look forward to many others reaching this milestone, and I myself look forward to joining the ultra-elite at some point and hit the 10,000 post mark!

You can spend a lot of time being indignant about a system that ignores the talents of a high school running back who has rushed for 2,801 yards and scored a state-record-tying 51 touchdowns this season. You can spend a lot of time wondering how college recruiters could be so thick-headed as to ignore a kid who ran for 366 yards, scored three touchdowns and intercepted two passes in a state playoff game two weeks ago against Joliet Catholic, which was ranked No. 1 in the state and No. 4 in the nation at the time.
He stands 6 feet and plays football at 187 pounds, runs a 4.5-second 40-yard dash and has a 4.8 grade-point average on a 5.0 scale. But whatever it is that college recruiters want, he apparently doesn't have it.
Dergo ended up receiving an athletic scholarship on the wrestling team at the University of Illinois, as he was an undefeated state champion.

Nevertheless, too many college football consumers treat the star rankings as if they are the holy writ instead of somebody's guessing game.
Which is why, when it comes to college football recruiting, if all you see are stars then you will often miss the real picture.

white lighting: Come on people. I know times are tough but this place is home. Don Wassall is the man responsible for this site. Imagine how we would all feel if it shut down. Don provides the funding out of his own pocket. Buying cards and also donations are what is needed to continue to fight the castesystem. It is some of the best money that you could ever donate. We are making a difference slowly but surely.
Please guys. Help out the site. Thanks.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.
Lastly, I saw a great idea at Unamusement Park which we can expropriate for our own purposes.
