‘Progressive’ racism: Jemele Hill wants ‘black athletes to leave white colleges’

Jemele Hill wants to take college sports back in time for African Americans.

The former ESPN host turned The Atlantic columnist published a piece on Thursday titled, “It’s Time for Black Athletes to Leave White Colleges.” Her misguided essay argues that so-called “white universities” are exploiting top black college athletes for profit. Hill insists that by choosing en masse to only go to historically black colleges and universities, black athletes “could disrupt the reign of an ‘amateur’ sports system that uses the labor of black folks to make white folks rich.” In other words, she wants black college athletes to self-segregate, because she thinks it would benefit HBCUs and all-black schools.
