These protestors claim "systematic racism," yet with only 8% of the student body being black, the student body elected a black man as their President.  Hmm . . .

The U.S. voted in a black president. Do you believe that black people in the country don't face systematic racism?

That's a nice catchy phrase, but what system are they protesting.  What laws?  What regulations?  What policy of enforcement?  Where is the system?  Yes, there are still racists in America.  But, I think we have done a pretty thorough job of weeding out racist systems. 

Rather than boycotting football for the symbolic gesture of getting a University president fired, perhaps the focus should be on these "systems" that they keep chanting about.
