    Celebration Bowl

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celebration_Bowl

    Isn't it odd that of all the places on earth, USA celebrates "race". Watching this thing on ESPN and find it wierd.

    I don't understand what you're getting at. Could you please explain it?

    I think he is getting at where its weird to non americans that we have to have special things for non-white races. At least I think that's what he means.

    I'm not "getting at anything. I've stated clearly it's racist, by definition. There are people very efficient with protesting, as long as it's directed at whites, yet something like this exists? Yes yes, you celebrate diversity...and no, I don't get it.

    Enlighten me: how is it racist?

    HBCUs are cool. They have an important, interesting history. Being triggered by seeing black people celebrating their heritage is what I find weird.

    It's the de facto HBCU national title game, the Celebration Bowl (Wiki link). For anyone that has any appreciation of academic history, black American culture, or college football, it's pretty cool. Of course, we can't have nice things without someone bitching about muh racism.

    Do they highlight the history of black people and football?

    I watched pretty half-assedly to be honest. Their website sure does. Grambling won this year. Off topic, but I just noticed that Grambling's White Tiger (a movie about the first white QB at Grambling) starred Bruce Jenner and is now pretty funny:

    I have a feeling it's linked to the "black men are more masculine and better at sports" kind of thing

    Whatever your point was, you made it so poorly, the thread is doomed to be irrelevant.

    Most around the world probably don't know that there are black colleges in the US. Ergo, they have no clue what you are on about.

    I live in the US, and have never heard of this garbage.

    You get the occasional dumbassess that pull claims out of their ass for sure.

    I heard someone on this forum claim that black head coaches in the NFL are scrutinized more heavily, are put on a shorter lesh by owners, and get fired for underperformance more often.

    Rose bowl, Cotton bowl, errrrrr....

    It's not a bowl for celebrating race. The bowl is played among historically black colleges is all.

    Race is a big deal in the USA and will always be so to us culturally.

    I went through all wiki links and the evidence points to contrary, slightly different warding but..."you can put lipstick on a pig but it's still a pig"

    Super extensive research you did on an incredibly complex topic.
