Right there with you wile. In 1981. I was a HS Freshman on the JV team. We started out 4-1. All white team. The varsity had one black player and he was a RB. He wasn't cutting it on the all white Varsity team so they moved him down to JV. I was the starting RB and guess who got replaced by the black RB? Me! I still got to play RB, but had to alternate with the black player. I went on to rush for over 1,000 yards. Not a lot of yards by today's standards, but again, he got half or more of the carries once he was moved down.FTR I have been aware of the Caste System since 1988 before many of you young fellas were more than a gleam in your daddy's eye. A buddy's HS team had one magical athlete that got feted by the cucks while the better player probably had to go roof houses out of HS instead of a ride like the magic athlete got where he promptly failed to impress the Big 12 defenses with his running abilities. (Big 12 I remind you)
To be honest, he was a pretty good RB, but I was just as good and one year younger than he was. I also started at safety.
When he was moved down, the starting FB and I went to the head coach and asked if anything was going to change with the starting backfield, he said no. He lied to us and that's when I started to become aware. In 1981, a 14 year old freshman in HS. In all likely hood I probably was aware even before that, but that just smacked me in the face!
