I have a friend who's a professor at a PWI who graduated from a HBCU (Clark Atlanta) she's mad about Coach leaving JSU and I asked her why didn't you take your education to go back to an HBCU to teach? She got quiet.....exactly! So I agree with Roland.
Appreciate your audience. for supporting I'll share with you some beneficial insight; let's converse with the number above 👆🏾👆🏾
You told her right😂 but they’re angry because he lied to them most people are looking at it saying that he did good things for you but think about this if you’re cousin borrowed $20,000 from you and they said they will pay you back…but instead they take you on trips and other things that equal to $20,000 or better and they say I’m not going to pay you because they spent more than 20,000 having fun with you…. Me personally I want my damn money? Do u … He lied to them a lie is a lie and I’m not a fan of College sports… Deon made a comment nobody asked him to tell those people what he said know he wasn’t going to be there to finish what he said…. It’s about the lie not him moving up. Some people still live off of your word and principles even though it is stupid the take a person word these days.
Non-sequitur. She is NOT DEION SANDERS! The fame and attention is what is needed, not some regular people pulling up bootstraps. What don’t you people see? How long will it take before we get it? I mean, are we really THIS ignorant?
@@marcelmarshall4240 so only the famous should help? Gee I wonder how the schools stayed open all these years. She told her friend right!!
@@Niatate I did not say that. I said PULL THE MOST WEIGHT. It’s obvious the person with millions should do more than the person with 100’s.
Roland you are so right. We find money for everything that we want to buy. As a black woman I see us paying a hundred dollars to get our nails done. Hundreds of dollars on white looking hair, but we can't send twenty dollars a month to help with our college students. We are still playing the victim.
Atlanta Clark university lost it's funding and was auction off.atlanta Tyler billionaire perry.tappers singer's megachurch Bonner brother's couldn't save Clark Morris brown colleges foundation from ex slaves and the first apostolic church.yeah
Martin is dead wrong. The entire conference should stop keeping to themselves and join FCS conferences, go through playoff system instead of expecting a bowl invitation to play a P5 school.
I'm not a college graduate.
I never thought about donating a dollar a month, but now it's time to put spoken word into action!
Mr. Martin, Thank You for planting a seed! 👍🏾
Why?
Homeboy you are preaching the word tell the truth it's hurt
@@registame2878 Why? Because that would be a dollar more than they had. All great things come from the smallest parts.
I’m here in Jackson and we’ve been very proud of Mr Sanders doing what he could for JSU. At this time he’s leaving with his head high and the young players did very well and he cared for them. He has to take care of himself and his family. He worked during the pandemic, he worked even when he was sick. We’re sad to see him go but we wish him luck and the very best for him and his family.
I wonder if you have that same sentiment for Marcus Garvey. Medgar Every. Malcolm X. Martin Luther king Jr. If you could live in an America without their contributions. This clown left a 98% Black school for a 2% black school. If that's not Selling out idk what is
👍 Truth! Well Stated and On Point! Thank you for having his back!
@@georgejackson5504They all sellouts🤣🤣🤣
Deion had an assignment which he fulfilled at JSU. He gave those young men the tools and love they needed while he was there. Now it's up to them to use those tools and show love to others.
Be proud of Deion's accomplishments and continue to pray for him while he's on his next journey.
GOD got you Deion.
He didn't fulfill his assignment
@@tepp4083 how so?? Jackson wanted deion to ba slave for life
@@michaeltamares7974 he had a 4 year contract. He stayed for 3. He didn't even see a full class through graduation .
Meaning, he didn't fulfill his duties
I am an HBCU alum. I am not upset. Sanders did a great job for JSU. The football program was in a slump for several years and as a result attendance was down, the program had not participated in the SWAC championship in years, and had not participated in the Celebration Bowl. Sanders honored his contract. The problem is not that Sanders left. The problem is that it took a Sanders to bring JSU alum back to the table of support. We need to support the schools that supported us. We are not supporting our schools which have been historically underfunded. Yes, be upset with the alumni that has not supported their school. We can support our school simply by purchasing a season football pass, basketball pass, or any season sport pass. Support your school. Don't look to outsiders to support your school. I am not calling Sanders an outsider. I am referring to the outsiders he brought to the table. What are we bringing to the table as alums. Start supporting your school. I can't send a million or thousands but I send money every year to my school. I purchase a season parking pass and football pass every year. I stopped purchasing school gear from unlicensed vendors. Financially support your school.
You are on the right track now if you can on twist your mind you could be a force for change we should not support barbaric N-word ”sports” and sacrifice the well-being of our children in that pursuit just because white people do it doesn’t make it right or good We should have advanced beyond that as a society long ago continue to think man maybe your grandchildren will get there all of the bridge that you create good luck
If Dion didn't do well JSU would fire him. It is okay for him to leave for a better paying job. He will be using that money to help HBCUs.
@@mbubb4626 ridic. Prime would never have been fired.
Well said.
Amen
Deion did a good job and it's time to move on. How he left is another conversation and frankly, I don't care. As a JSU alum, my money goes to the alma mater several times a year. That was happening long before DS arrived and it will continue. And, I teach at another HBCU! At the end of the day, it falls on us to support our institutions.
Appreciate your audience. for supporting I'll share with you some beneficial insight; let's converse with the number above 👆🏾👆🏾.
Period!
Ya heard!
Then those black institutions need to promote and cultivate a better attitude within our communities.
I am from London, I and deal the worse grasping attitudes from my own people, and that needs to be stomped out.
The Elder system we have bern supporting has held us back and black feminism needs to improve its own attitudes towards some of its own community. Their outlook has been appalling.
black people don't realize how much power we have if we united as one. perfect example the nfl. if every black person refused to play what do u think the NFL would do? give us what we want!
How can you be mad at a man who took his salary to help his coach’s, students, reached out to Walmart, under armor, and others to help the facility, upgraded locker room, who go to work and help the company you work for? Thanks Prime💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Stop it he knew from day 1 he was using them jsu didn't need him he need them kids think about the players he had to come there
@@memphistn7102 🙄🙄🙄
@@memphistn7102 using , go visit jackson state my step son, both in laws are all alumni. That school was in dire need, back in 2010, considered closing, not enough enrollment, yall out here commenting but if y’all haven’t visited to see what was there before Prime, he gave them a lift and it’s up to them. But let’s see who steps up behind prime, it’s amazing all this for the black man but when others do it it’s a congratulation and let’s see what’s next. We are who we are from Black Lives Matter to this we a joke and they know we can’t do nothing together, climb up or nothing, jackson water has always been horrible, go live there, but what do you do for any black organization. We help black teenage kids help to read who have adhd and who have been considered autistic, we also have a women’s private shelter who are experiencing domestic violence, so what y’all doing, except commenting.
Them kids coming there, who says they were going to the pros, they were scouted, man bye. Whatever they can do there , they can do anywhere, Jalen hurt from bama to wherever to the pros, your talent speaks for its self anywhere.
@@memphistn7102 Are you just as mad at Brett Farve for using welfare money to build a stadium at his daughter's college?
My great grandmother told me at a young age that we as black people are like crabs in a bucket, because we don’t want to see another brother or sister make it in this world because of jealously and laziness. Keep doing great work Roland
Because they don’t belong in a Bucket . When crabs are in the ocean they protect each other. Learn more and stop work that old bs sayings
I am a Georgetown Alum! Never watched an HBCU game until DEION coached JSU! After seeing Colorado facilities, I told my husband "we gotta write a check". I just sent JSU a check for $20,000! Not a lot, but I hope they can do something with it! We continue to give to our Alum as well! Our HBCUs must be on par with these IVY LEAGUE schools! We've got the talent! Why do we live this way and complain???!!!
I was blown away too. I remember when he first got to JSU and said he had seen high school stadiums that looked better than the one at JSU. The sad thing is Colorado is not even a winning program, but has those facilities were A1.
This is from the Washington Post:
Mar 24, 2021 - The governor's move brings the state closer to ending a 15-year-old lawsuit over inequitable funding of Morgan State University, ..
For those that don't know Morgan St is a HBCU in Maryland.
Some of the reasons for Inequalities at HBCU'S :
Inequalities in State funding at HBCU'S,
lack of Corporate Sponsors giving real Deals to HBCU'S for Athletic Funding...some of the reasons Why HBCU'S have lack of funds.
Integration: yes Integration...enrollment decreased less Alumni
Intergration: NFL pipeline from HBCU'S shifted to
White PWI'S getting the best football players...where do you think the loyalty & the money went, IF they made PRO.
God Bless you for the donation . Maybe, if everyone posting on these platforms would give something collectively we could make a difference . Maybe, start a Go Fund Me or a Crowd funding.
These are State Funded schools, so on Par with Ivy League is stretching it.
The Big White PWI'S have Money coming out of their "Wazoo's " and they are not on par with Ivy League Schools in terms of money.
White PWI on par in terms of Facilities, yes because they live & breathe football, I don't think that's the case at most Ivy League Schools.
Big Corporate Sponsors give Big Money to these PWI schools.
Ex: Univ of Oregon is in a 11 year, 88Million dollar Sponsorship deal with NIKE.
That's one of the ways they get money in their private Athletic Foundations.
If HBCU'S could get 5 to 10% of a Sponsorship deal like the Oregon States of College Football, it would make a big difference.
Lack of State Fundi g:
A lawsuit was brought against the State of Maryland for underfunding Maryland HBCU'S.
It took 15 years to settle.
Coppin State University, Bowie State University and the University of Maryland Eastern Shore.
See the Washington Post article.

This man deserves a standing ovation! Nothing but the truth 💯 Love and respect my brother. I said the same thing on social media and my platforms
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Send a link to your platforms
You right about standing ovation !👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
He does and the haters are plain Haters and if truth be told you know a lot of HBCU started off as white seminary schools go check that!!!
@Adarrin Smith
You always had some whites who were sympathic to the Black cause & the treatment of black folks during & after Slavery.
In some cases, the Land was donated by " Sympathetic white Land Owners " for Black's to Start their own Schools.
But, I'm missing your point.
This is my point where the Corporations, etc real money is going.
Black people who think the Black HBCU Alumni can build up wealth by themselves at HBCU'S.
FACTS:
Nike and the University of Oregon have reportedly reached a tentative agreement on a new 11-year, $88 million apparel deal.
We get nothing or Pennies.
Coach Sanders a Big Talker, who could go in any Corporate Boardroom & ask for things.
I guess someone else will have to ask for it now .
Wow!! Roland you have stepped on my toes. This is an eye opening moment! I did not see the importance of giving to the HBCU's that I've graduated from because I really didn't understand the "why" and felt that if I donated a small amount, it didn't matter. But when you explained how even $1 a month can make a difference, which is better than giving nothing, it really hit home! We have to do better and I am going to start sending money to my HBCU's. Thank you Roland!!👏🏽 I needed to hear this! I pray that people will realize the impact Deion Sanders has made to Jackson State, which is huge and not criticize this man for using his God-given talents to change these young men lives!! The question is "What are we doing to serve others?" Let's stop complaining and start supporting one another.
Very well said! I totally agree with your entire comment😊
EVERY PENNY AND DOLLAR COUNTS AND IT'S ABOUT THE COLLECTIVE - IF THE COLLECTIVE SAYS WE WILL GIVE $5 DOLLARS A MONTH OR. YEAR FOR THAT MATTER IT ADDS UP. WHITE PEOPLE DONATE TO BIG SCHOOL INSTITUTIONS LIKE USC ALL THE TIME AND TAKE TREMENDOUS PRIDE IN THAT. WE HAVE TO CHANGE OUR MINDSET AND SUPPORT AT THE MINIMUM YOUR SCHOOL AS ALUMNI. THANK YOU ROLAND
How could you (as an hbcu grad) not see the importance of giving to a historically underfunded institution?
@A Riz I have received calls about donating to the college but I never heard it broken down to me until Roland the low percentage of alumni giving back verses the other colleges. After graduating, my focus was to get a good job and make a lot of money so that I can afford to give back. When I hear of donations giving to certain colleges in my area, it's in the thousands. I felt that if I didn't give thousands of dollars, it was not beneficial to the college so I just didn't give. It's all about the mindset like everything else. I also though that if I go to a homecoming or get involved with activities at the college, that's giving back. Hey! We all live and learn and the most important thing is that now that I know, I am going to start giving back and not be part of the statistics.
@@TasiriHixon Totally agree. It's the mindset!💯
You have a point Roland. I've definitely not been giving to the Alumni association over the years. That will change! Thankyou Brother!
Appreciate your audience. for supporting I'll share with you some beneficial insight; let's converse with the number above 👆🏾👆🏾.
Oh they needed this… So many of our people have been so brainwashed to the receiving of handouts that some miss real life blessings… Deion Sanders was a blessing to the SWAC. I believe he did what God had him to do and that being an example, motivator, encourager and so much more that those naysayers give acknowledgment or can see… And it’s definitely not about money with a person such as his self…. This is a prime example of the problem with our culture and it is freaking draining for those that understand. “DON’T TALK ABOUT IT BE ABOUT” MY BLACK PEOPLE!! Elevation always and will forever be applaud!! Job well done “Coach Prime”..
Same here bro! I don't as well and I'm going to do better. We all have to do better! 👊🏽
Also need to emphasis on when alumns giving back and sometimes money is misappropriated by university officials and doesn't go to projects that they are for. Sometimes this deters others from giving also because of issues related to this. Friend of mind stopped giving over the years to his HBCU/alma materbecause of this. Couldn't see where money was going!
SMDH.
Coach Prime did an amazing job to help this school. Props to him and pray God continues to bless him !!!
He was there for a season. God elevated him❤
Coach Prime pimped Jackson State for a better job.
@@rlm5657 why use the term pimped, he was offered an opportunity to coach elsewhere and offered more money...Deion would've never earned a decent wage at JSU, maybe a few endorsements, bye uncle Ro-Ro. Trump balied out HBCUs because the colleges were falling into financial ruin, were becoming defunct. Now through the help of government these great institutions will forever be with us.
He pulled attention from HBCU coaches that have been working hard for years, never getting any attention and a lot LESS $$$
He said that!!! It’s the fact that Deion is leaving that school and those students and coaches, BETTER than they were before he came! He made an impact and woke up hope, tenacity and drive in them! Beautiful! ♥️ I say keep following Christ Deion!
Deion gave his own money to JSU, Time and Dedication.
How if I knew I was using them
@@memphistn7102 have you contributed to any schools, your community or black businesses?
Deion had to give his own money because there is red tape with university and endowment funds. Sometimes you just can’t drawdown money on demand
@@memphistn7102 this man gave his own money to get a new field at JSU and probably other things… Something he DID NOT and SHOULDN’T of had to do. BUT HE DID! Most coaches would not have done that. He coached and moved on. It happens all the time. I wish he stayed but such is life. HIS life!
@A Rose
Check out the 60 Minutes Interview or Just Google it.
Coach Sanders did give his OWN money..he went to Walmart & Asked them to pay for the practice field
He did give back part of his Salary.
I think he has a Net Worth of 30 to 40 Million $.
He was Ok..It was a Nice gesture.
After all, he had NO other offers other than JSU taking a Chance on him as a College Coach.
Giving up half or all of his $300,000 JSU Salary to now get $5 Million at Colorado.
I think his Gamble paid Off.
Deion is a Florida man from Ft Myers, Fl. I am proud of him and the moves he made at JSU. I wish him much success in his new venture. Much Love.
Roland is so real. Thanks for making it make sense.
Excellent points made Roland, I’m a graduate of JSU class of ‘95 and I challenge all my Jacksonian’s to donating $25 a month to Thee I Love. This challenge is not only for JSU but to all my fellow HBCU’S! Thank you Roland for always keeping it real and giving a perspective that should never be forgotten!!!
Also need to emphasis on when alumns giving back and sometimes money is misappropriated by university officials and doesn't go to projects that they are for. Sometimes this deters others from giving also because of issues related to this. Friend of mind stopped giving over the years to his HBCU/alma materbecause of this. Couldn't see where money was going!
Or maybe get Nike to give them several million dollars. Let’s face it, we can’t compete with dollars, so you will have to come up with a better idea
@@davruck1 why should Nike give them anything, always begging white folks for something.
Wow, Roland! Your words are inspiring. I'm proud of the work that Coach Prime did at JSU, and was glad he stayed for three seasons. I'm a proud FAMU grad, who gives but I can do better!!🧡💚🧡💚🐍 🐍 🐍
Thank you Roland,we needed this kick in our azz. We must support our own,or we will never been successful as a people. Your point is well put.
Appreciate your audience. for supporting I'll share with you some beneficial insight; let's converse with the number above 👆🏾👆🏾
I never understood black folks propensity to blame themselves for having a different opinion.
So how does selling out help us?
I didn’t attend an HBCU, so I admittedly have no connection to any of them, but knowing the rich history of HBCUs and the contributions they’ve made to society, as well as the difficulties they have had throughout the years, seeing a figure like “Coach Prime” come to an HBCU was definitely exciting, and I felt as if we would see a renaissance of sorts for HBCUs nationwide.
I think people expected him to stay much longer and encourage more coaches of his caliber to link up with other HBCUs, and kind of facilitate the shift of influence towards HBCUs. No one thought that this would be the short-term thing that it was.
That said, in the short time that “Coach Prime” was there, NO ONE can say that he didn’t plant seeds. No one can say that he didn’t lay a foundation. No one can say that he didn’t leave a mark. The question now becomes, “How will JSU and other HBCUs build on this?”
When you talk about foundation...make sure you do your history
The person that made a difference for the HBCU is..
Eddie Robbinson,Sr. and how he made Grambling State University a "Powerhouse" making the HBCU a house whole name.
During his coaching career, Robinson compiled 45 winning seasons, including winning or sharing 17 Southwestern Athletic Conference championships and nine black college football national championships. He was winless in his three NCAA playoff appearances. Enormous publicity attended Robinson's record-breaking win with Grambling State in 1985. And he accomplished that where it was one of the reasons why the NFL drafted black athletes from HBCU and go on the win Super Bowls. Sanders had nothing to do with that.
@@ljsmixbox44 Deion helped REVIVE what Coach Robinson did. He's been dead for decades and, coupled with PWI schools mining the same athletes that USED to go to HBCUs, resulted in less talented rosters and hence a lesser product than was supplied before. Coupled with OUR abysmal financial support back to those respective institutions, it's been a freaking struggle. Deion, who DIDN'T go to an HBCU, brought the attention back and it’s better for the brothers who went there. He did well.
@@studlyload 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Thank you !
@R Brown
He said he was going to bring it back.
But did he stay,
Not Forever, but at least long enough to accomplish what he said he wanted to do after 2 &1/2 seasons . I said half because of Covid.
He made HBCU'S hopeful, once again since integration changed the HBCU'S NFL pipeline .
I think people were hopeful that he would keep getting some of the Top talent.
Now, just like when racist Univ. of Alabama in the 70's decided that they had to get them some Negro Athletes after they lost to USC . USC had Black Athletes.
Now , it's like 1970's all over again, & he's taking the best with him..AGAIN.
Perfectly said Roland. "We" always talk about what everybody else should be doing and yet "we" sit our well rested butts down and do NOTHING. My motto is put up or shut up. If you're not going to be a part of the solution or help out in some way, move out the way and sit in silence. I hope Deon's transition goes well. I want our people to WIN!!
As an HBCU alum, and professor with 20 years of teaching experience at HBCUs I wholeheartedly agree there is not enough alumni support, and just attending homecomings is not enough. Another good point made was the need for HBCUs to recruit in their surrounding communities for various types of students not just athletes, however, I do have some disappointment not in Coach Sanders but in the outcome of his leaving because I like others saw his tenure at JSU as a movement vs. a moment, but I still wish him well and will still support the change and uplift that HBCU's need not just in athletics, but academically, and financially.
PREACH ROLAND! Us black folks can't get out of our own way. Thank you for your 100% accurate insight about Coach Prime.
Employers should prepare their employees to move on. Good job Roland. 🎉
This is one of the most powerful speeches I heard in a long time. Thanks Roland!
THANK YOU ROLAND. THIS WAS MUCH NEEDED. GOD BLESS.
You are so right Roland. This is the very conversation I had with my Soror just yesterday. This is why I am working with a network of Black entrepreneurs and the Milken Institute to launch our global initiative to elevate aspiring Black entrepreneurs around the world.
Write me👆..
Dion gave three years and left a blueprint for the school to continue to be successful. This man has his own life and life goals.
From that Logic so did Dr. King. So why has no one made that type of progress for black ppl???? What if he had $ell out Sanders mentality of only doing a portion of the work and leaving. What if he took the buy out??????. Ppl Kee saying he left a Blue print. No. He was the Blue Print. Why??? Bc of his stature. You can't just go and find another all timer to Coach. Whom actually knows how to Coach. You do know that man is in the conversation for Greatest Athlete Ever!!!!!!!! Let that sink in.
@George Jackson I think that's a lot of pressure to put on 1 person. No 1 person is an island. And maybe that's why. Or maybe the Dr. Kings of the world don't have the support Dr. King had. Support systems are important for building.
I’m never going to be disappointed in anyone making a decision to better themselves!!
Write me👆.
Great words of encouragement and importance to support our community and universities and businesses that no one has suggested to black alumni and all. Thank you Sir!!! Praying that we all will have a giving heart to support one another!!! Blessings all!!
Preach Roland... I dnt go to a HBCU, but my son did, and SC State was good to him, so I donate to the school once a year. They gave him a chance, and his advisor stayed on him. He believed in him, and my son graduated on time with honors. Freshman year was rocky😂😂 of course, but he got it together due to his advisor and professors... I felt like they really cared about their students. Magic Johnson donated $3M to the business program years ago too.
@TEXXT ME 𝟳𝟴𝟲𝟮𝟱𝟴𝟴𝟮𝟯𝟲 hey cuzz I have serious question can you point me in the direction where I can send something to the survivors of the Tulsa Massacre
I'm in total agreement with your comments. Tell the truth, shame the devil.
I'm so glad that he took time to work at JSU. His legacy is great! God bless him in all his endeavors. God JSU !!!

This is the type of clarity and facts we need on a consistent basis. Now everyone has to look in the mirror before opening their mouth. We should be proud of Deion for making use of his fame and skills to help raise the profile of HBCU athletics and inspiring our young people. He showed how it can be done even as he was personally going through some very challenging times. Salute.
Real Talk... Roland said a mouthful. That message needs to be repeated on an ongoing basis. Our problems are going to be fixed from the inside-out and not from the outside-in. It reminds me of the book, " Black Economics" written by Jawanza Konjufu.
Well said Roland, i'm from England & i'm always trying support my own . Still need to do more.
No truer words were spoken. Roland is right. Thank you brother. ✊🏾💪🏾❤️👑
I respect your opinion because U were there supporting. All this Fake outrage and half these folks can’t Name 5 JSU PLAYERS. Name 5 HBCU players or hush please.

Name five CAU players. What’s that got to do with anything?
@@maxx_thedragondominator Black people love to deflect.
@Phil Jones
Amen to that.
Roland got a job to do...I just hope he's not giving his money to TxA&M...they sure don't need it.
I'll say it before anybody attacks me: YES I know people can do
whatever they want with their money.
I literally had this convo with a friends wife who graduated from Howard U (HBCU). She was complaining about Prime leaving so I asked her if she's ever donated money back to Howard. She said no. End of discussion.
Many of us do though . So that’s a misconception and frankly bad information from Roland . He grew up right next to university terrace . Many of those hard working people gave and give money to Texas Southern. A historical HBCU in Houston . The fact is that these major programs aren’t mostly funded by alumni. They are funded by foundations comprised of corporations , trust endowment owners , and high net millionaires . Seen them work up close
WoW! That was powerful!
@@MrSosa1969$5 per household per black family 1x a year across America donate to 2 hbcu can make a difference.
That's unfuckinreal 🙄
We are so lost and backwards. Our own worst enemies. Your entire theory is backwards. Deion is WEALTHY. So….what you all say is be selfish. You see..the people that OWN all the banks, and real estate, and control government, and institutions, and schools and the ENTIRE ECONOMIC system…they WORKED TOGETHER and shared. They built. We always say ‘well , what are YOU doing?” to defend wealthy Black people who take advantage of poor Black people and their hope, which is what DEION did. The GOD he always mentions blessed HIM over so many people, because clearly God plays favorites, and since God does…it would only make sense that the blessings be passed DOWN to those NOT BLESSED, not to expect those NOT BLESSED to give the little they have. Deion was building momentum with the ‘calling’ to level the playing field’ he said that GOD put upon him, but the real CALLING was white approval and white status..not building with his people..carrying the load because he was GIVEN ABUNDANCE…aka MORE THAN HE NEEDS. We are selfish, people like YOU prove it. We fail because of that…not because of slavery or any oppression. Hell, it is clear that we were easily enslaved because we are selfish, and did not work TOGETHER. You cannot conquer an entire race of people unless they are operating as individuals. We are the ONLY race that has been completely conquered…and I now can see why. Selfish. Get ‘Yours’. “You don’t owe anyone anything”. “Do for Self”. All those idiotic beliefs that fly against the face of REALITY, which is working together as a group is the only way to build. We do not do that…so as a collective, we have NOTHING. Deion has money, but is still needs to have his master give him an opportunity because his people cannot. It’s embarrassing how ignorant and backwards we are…as a community.
We always want a reason or excuse not to stand together..or help one another out ...this is major issue in our community.
Why stand together with people who don't think like you...
Thank you speaking the truth.
Real talk Roland! You are spot on!!! I am happy to see Deion move on because not only has he has left JSU much better off, but he has been afforded an opportunity that not many (if any) African Americans are even offered. Blessings to him, his career and the future of JSU and its football program.
Roland Martin thank you. As usual you broke it all the way down. We have to hold each other accountable! We all can support the black community in a variety of ways. It is never up to one person!
Hell I'm impressed with what he did in just 3 years! He left a blueprint so someone needs to have the intestinal fortitude, grab that plan and run with it. Salute to Coach Prime!
White folks laughing at us again.
Deion leaves. Black people fighting black people.
He sold a dream then walked away.
Lesson learned to my people.
Do not believe these so call messengers from God.
GO FOR SELF.
You are speaking the truth Roland! I do not believe Deion is a sell out! Not for one minute. I am happy for him.
Thank you deion for all you have done, actions have always spoken louder than words.
Thank you Roland. I needed to hear that. I am a 3rd generation HBU graduate and will commit to financial support my College that I love so dearly.
No one should be upset with him....Life goes on.... I'm happy for him!!
Appreciate your audience. for supporting I'll share with you some beneficial insight; let's converse with the number above👆🏾👆🏾.
We have the talent. They have the money.
Our elites sell out then blame the average black person.
White elites never turn their backs on their people.
That's the difference.
Roland you being down in the trenches at JSU with your platform speaks volumes. You have created a ripple effect at a crucial time. Black people are watching and feeling that vibe to commit to HBCU's. Thanks for being an example and for showing others that all it takes is 1 to start a movement to invest in these schools. Financially, being present, and most of all letting the schools/community know people are noticing this important issue.
OUR ELITES SELL OUT. THEN BLAME THE 9 TO 5 BLACK.
I for one went to a HBCU. Parents went to a HBCU, and great grandfather help created one . This is bigger than football and financial gain . I see why some are upset about him leaving . SWAC, HBCUs in general need that economic and perception uplift he brought . He was notable and charismatic enough to sway major donors and plays to these institutions. LSU for example has TAF- Tiger Athletic Foundation. I work with UT (Texas ) Athletic Foundation on some things . They basically pay coaches and programs . It takes years to build that though . Years. With what Deion was preaching, and he was , they thought he’d be the one to usher this movement in. Be the catalyst or let’s say that high profile sustainable executive presence to encourage others

Ok so if he brings more black students to Colorado being the pro black man he is, that’s not a win win? I just think it’s selfish of the black community to act like he is so wrong, and clearly ur gonna be biased toward him by your background
@@darrylharrison9154 exactly, because thats what gonna happen...
@@darrylharrison9154 aren’t black students already in the program? Did you see the players already at CU?
@@darrylharrison9154 no it's not a win-win to continue buying/taking/using our best and brightest to uplift and resurrect wealthy institutions who have a mission to prevent HBCUs from getting anywhere near their level.
It's a win for the person who hit the lick and a loss for the blacks that had once in a lifetime rare leadership in place. It's not easy to find leader to be so well connected and have a voice big enough to create cohesion among blacks for the cause of uplifting our status AND a true commitment to fight for it until a foundation has been set, not just show the blueprint and leave.
It's a loss because he told us we didn't need them and not to run from the challenge and we bought it...then he showed us that he needed them...wtf
This is Roland's greatest video. I have gained a lot of respect for him.
ROLAND thanks a million for what you said because soooooo many ppl needed to hear what you said and how you said it!!!!! im tired of ppl with a following that are tearing dion down but refuse to look in the mirror and just refuse to critique themselves for example (JASON WHITLOCK)…roland thanks for being a voice for our BLACK COMMUNITY!!!!💯
Thank you Rowland for keeping it real. There is no other way to serve it up!
Our elites sell out then blame the avg 9 to 5 struggling blacks.
Let's be real. He sold a lie. Good Luck Prime.
You taught a valuable lesson to the black community.
Don't listen to the so call messengers from God.
GO FOR SELF.
Now THIS... is a WORD for the BROTHERS AND SISTERS to meditate on.
It's not about finding a new football coach to lead the institution . He leads the football team. WE lead the lead the institutions. Or do we🤔? You get me fired up Bruh. Thank you for commitment to purpose. Respect Big Bruh.

Awesome, Mr. Martin! Without a doubt, the wheels are in motions from the points you exposed. It is on US to keep US on top and moving forward.
You preached a good one!
I will send a check and make sure I support BLACK more often!!!
Amen! I can’t wrap my mind around why folks are so upset w/ Deion. I come from a “cup is half full approach” and look at all he did in the short time he was at Jackson State.
Oh, for the record, I currently work at an HBCU. I worked at one prior to working at this one. Combined, I’ve worked at an HBCU for more than 21 years.
He used HBCUs for better opportunities.
Let's be real.
We have the talent. They have the money.
They have unity. We don't.
This brother is so real💪

Well said, thank you for speaking to our issue in the black community, " supporting black HUBC, and black business!
Thanks

You are so right and keep up your good work. YOU ARE A STRONG BLACK LEADER
Roland you are sure right about this failure of alumni not giving. I didn’t go to an HBCU, I went to University of Maryland, University of Colorado at Denver and Colorado Christian University. But my Grandfather went to Howard University. As a grandchild of an HBCU alum your message has even convinced me to start giving monthly to an HBCU which will be Howard where my grandpa attended. I hope the alumni giving goes up
The avg salary for a Black college grad is 50 thousand. Their degree does not hold the same status as White grads.
Our elites sell out then blame the avg 9 to 5 black.
Him leaving sends a valuable lessons.
BLACKS GO FOR SELF.
Why do you feel pressured to give?
I just wanna add this; Job well done, Coach Prime! Best of luck in your new roll at Colorado! I know some are trying to bring him down for doing what ANY OTHER COACH has done, which is to elevate their career and the careers of others. Let’s think about this for a second:
1. Coach Prine came to a school and a conference NO ONE was talking about.
2. ESPN and others were mentioning/airing them on the national stage.
3. He brought in over $185 million in value to the program and the community.
4. He donated most of his salary back to help the school and the program. So it wasn’t about the money!
5. He left a model and a blueprint for what can be done to build up HBCU athletic programs. After he’s gone, that should continue!
6. He delivered TWO SWAC chips, an undefeated season and did what he said he would do in THREE YEARS! What else do you want?!
So like MOST coaches do, he’s moving on to a better situation for HIM and his staff, and leaving said situation 1000% better than he found it! He was supposed to stay there? Isn’t any coaches desire to elevate themselves and others? Might I add , he allowed Bethune-Cookman to used Jackson st's facilities when they were in town because they had nowhere to practice. What Coach on any level would do that for their rivals?
But, yet again, we see someone’s desire to do better for themselves as a slight against us all…who taught us this? It's kind of like the Willie Lynch syndrome.

Make sure you do your history.
The person that made a difference for the HBCU is..
Eddie Robbinson,Sr. and how he made Grambling State University a "Powerhouse" making the HBCU a house whole name.
During his coaching career, Robinson compiled 45 winning seasons, including winning or sharing 17 Southwestern Athletic Conference championships and nine black college football national championships. He was winless in his three NCAA playoff appearances. Enormous publicity attended Robinson's record-breaking win with Grambling State in 1985. And he accomplished that where it was one of the reasons why the NFL drafted black athletes from HBCU and go on the win Super Bowls. Sanders had nothing to do with that.
@@ljsmixbox44 huh? Who compared Eddie Robinson to Coach Prime????? I was talking about Coach Prime. However, that is a nice copy and paste statement you made you just added to it, to try to make it seem authentic. Lol I simply googled your statement. Which is an indicator that you don't know your history. You just Google Coach Robinson, to try to make a point , that wasn't even the subject of discussion. Lol Willie Jefferies had the power house before Eddie Robinson, who also was the first black coach to leave an HBCU for a Division 1 PWI. So address that as well since you are giving history lessons to a person that knows history. Lol However, family, I wish coach Prime the best and I still support JSU. ❤️💪🙏
@@d0x5j0 Agreed! I went to SCSU during Coach Jeffries last season on his first successful run before he went to Wichita State and made them relevant. Program continued successfully after he left…and he came back home and did it AGAIN. Building solid foundations are the key to success IF those who follow take up the mantle. If.
@@studlyload boooooooom 💪❤️🙏💪
"Don't worry about the "speck" in Deon's eye when we have a BOULDER in our own" . That's the ESSENCE of what Roland is talking about!
Write me⬆️,
There you have. Roland you keep it 💯 thanks bruh. For your leadership big homie.
Thanks Mr Roland for all that you do
Facts plain and simple!
Appreciate your audience. for supporting I'll share with you some beneficial insight; let's converse with the number above 👆🏾👆🏾.
Mr Roland Martin thank you for an timely, excellent and thought provoking speech!❤
Write me ⬆️.
Martin, my daughter is leaving NCAT because she can't cover her portion. She graduated with a 4.0 weighted GPA. She was nominated in HS by her principals and teachers to be on the superintendent board and other groups to have a seat at the table to discuss diversity in a white school district. She had a great 1st semester at NCAT. Her grades were excellent. She is a journalism/Marketing school. People like my children need help!
Explore outside scholarships online and seek books with scholarships. Take out loans because school debt doesn’t stop you long term. Get an apartment off campus with friends to lower the on campus expenses.
Speak on it, Roland, and thank you for putting things in perspective for folks.
Roland you are 💯 right
I didn't go to an HBCU I graduated from East Carolina University however you made a lot of sense Roland and I'm glad that I listend to your message this morning.
I'm going to start sewing into HBCUs.
I feel like you get it
@@careysimmons7690 I truly do and I discussed it with my husband. I do support black owned businesses, but not HBCUs.
Nothing against them I just never thought about sewing into them However, listening to Roland was meant for me to hear for sooooo many other reasons and I receive it.
I'm a hbcu alum. Division one football was and is his dream. Thank God this brother helped these kids along the way to his dream. It is incumbent upon us,.. the black community, to pick up the mantle and support hbcus and keep them in the spotlight, just like prime did!
I've said that same thing the other day. Preach Roland Martin!
As usual, Roland is the TRUTH!
Come on my people we gotta support support Black.
I thank you so much for this episode. Doesn’t make any sense for a person not to support their own people. Pay up, or shut up.Paying doesn’t always mean monetary. At least volunteer, or give what you can. If LV, Gucci, and all other’s can have your money or attention. At least a few of your people should be worthy of the same.
You're Speaking 100% truth. I didn't attend an HBCU, but I made sure that option was clear and available to my children. My daughter went to Xavier University of Louisiana. She graduated and makes good money. There's no way she can't contribute to her alma mater.
She does make 6 figures. She not a millionaire. Let's be real.
The avg black person cannot compete financially with white folk.
We got the talent. They got the money.
They win we lose.
@@itsonyoufosho I would take the time to explain what Roland Martin was saying, but you've obviously consumed too much Kool-aid. I'm glad founders of HBCUs didn't share your outlook.
Whew!! Roland said a mouthful! As an hbcu graduate I agree with everything he said and unfortunately I'm one of the ones he's talking about because I don't give back to my school. With that being said I have to do better. That's why I'm not saying shit about Deion lol. Wish him the best and hbcu alumni please do better as well!
Truth! I am with you 100% brother Roland.
Roland Be Rollin....I always SAY!!!
I'm a JSU grad. The admin was garbage when I was there. Unorganized and not supportive of the education process and they dropped the ball so often while I was there I don't think any money I would send would be used for the betterment of the student. My JSU experience was great but it was due to the help of students and staff that were also being screwed by the administration. I don't know what it's like now but then it was bad. So don't ask me for money when you didn't treat me well when I was there.
Right Roland and some of these people haven't even been to an HBCU to realize the magnitude of the lack of resources at some of these schools. I'm an HBCU alumni and I get it and I understand. I'm always looking for promotion and elevation and Deion is no different. Cudos to him and God bless him on his next journey! I never ever thought he would stay forever! He even said if he gets approached he will definitely look at it, just like ANY other coach would.
Amen Bruh!! Practice what we Preach!! This "Crab in a Bucket" mentality will be our downfall.
The "Crab in a Bucket" narrative is beyond tired. I see a whole lot of white folks from the Trump administration stabbing each other in the back. Are they not crabs in the barrel... I guess white people dodo don't stink. Deion Sanders boom box gets stolen (it was returned that never gets mentioned) we want all of Jackson put in jail. White dude goes into a black church and kills nine people, we giving him hugs.
Posted a comment mentioning that crab mentality. That is problem at its roots.
Thank you Roland. This makes so much sense. Send this video to all our HBCU's so they can get them Alumni dues.😌😊🤔
Amen Roland
I'm happy for coach prime for him moving forward on his coaching career an giving these young men wisdom an giving his time an money back too jackson state .
Deon is good. Deon helped.. . I never received a scholarship from none of the Black colleges and universities after I graduated from HS. I was a great student and I was athletic and noetic too. I did not know Wilberforce, Spellman and any other Black Colleges. I supported Wilberforce U. after I graduated. I also believe in supporting international universities too. I feel you Roland.
Write me ⬆️.
Amen
Deion will only be at CU a few years if he wins. CU is a resume builder. This is what coaches do. Succeed and Get Promoted. Just like most professionals want to happen.
Mel Tucker left CU for Michigan St., had one good season and got $90 million.
True and he'll end up leaving CU for FSU if not the NFL. I'm kind of shocked some people legit expected him to be at JSU for his entire coaching career. I'm just glad he was there as long as he was. I just don't get it.
Deion Sanders football resume was already set in stone before he got to JSU (took a pay cut from what he was making as a NFL analyst on TV ) to help uplift that program find success. Now would we even be talking about him if he wasn't successful and was fired?
I don't always agree with you, but Roland, that was AMAZING and eloquently TRUE!!, WELL SPOKEN
All of this!! Thank you Roland!
The man took over a trash program, turned it around, list 5 games in 3yrs, and won 2 championships in his 3 seasons. The rest is on the school to hire the right coach who'll maintain the culture Prime gave them. Don't get caught up in the coaching hype while letting Herschel win an election. Priorities vs Distractions, folks.😂😂😂
That’s not hard to do when you got 5 stars playing against throw aways
@@FourZLogistics that's the elephant in the room no one will talk about. What Sanders did is phenomenal. Now at CU, he's up against other tier one top 5 players who are hungry too.
JSU and HBCUs would ride/die for Sanders win/lose/draw because the love is REAL. At CU, the boosters don't give a d*mn about your calling, he's got 3 years max to turn it around.
@@miketony2069 very true... although he only will have 2 years.
@@FourZLogistics North Carolina A&T was able to win 4 straight Celebration Bowl Championships and MEAC conference championships without 5 and 4 star athletes. JSU can definitely still have that same success without 5 and 4 stars athletes. They have a new stadium coming, have new football practice facilities and locker/film room. They have tools to definitely win.
If you think Jsu can sustain what he started you're a fool. Those 4-5 star kids came to play for him not Jsu. He didn't give them any culture, HE was that culture. And pretty soon everyone will forget he was ever there. Jsu is done.
I swear Deion the most talked about man in the media right now 😂😂
Write me👆..
I wish he never came. This has set back HBCUs further than ever. No athlete will come to play. Deion had us and walked away.
White folk wins again.
I so agree with you! I graduated from Louisisna State University. I wanted to go to Howard University. I had a perfect high school GPA and a high ACT score. I applied to Howard and Howard did not give me one dime of scholarship money. I even travelled to Howard the summer before I would enroll and after visiting them they still didn't offer me any money. LSU did and I followed the money. Deion gave back and he did what is good for him just like many of us who went to PWI's.
Write me ⬆️.
@@pinkywhite222 Where do you want me to write you at?
@@LFoster8026that’s a fake account trying to spam/phishing. Don’t engage.
They didn't give you a Scholarship because even as a Private Black College they only have so many Scholarships they can give .
The only problem we have is we don't trust ourselves.
And we feel that white is the answer. Whatever job we want, as long as we associate with white people. We can get what we want.
MLK said be proud of who you. Thats where we lost ourselves.
Roland talk angry alot.. and I think the reason why he's not on CNN is because they are not putting up with his attitude.
But then he gets on here and trash black people..nah man that's messed up on his part.
I guess he forgot about the Black Wall Street in Tulsa where it was a riot
masquerade of hateful white men that destroyed a black community.. from churches houses businesses and even killed a lot of black people within 3 days.
Thanks for the truth, same as believing in yourselves
Hmm now this was a sermon that moved me to action. Thank you Roland 👏🏾
First of all, this man KNEW what he was getting into from the pay to the condition of the facilities when he came. He sold my school and ALL HBCUs a dream about creating a table of equal value instead of begging for a seat at theirs but the FIRST chance he got he cut and ran. This was all strategic……he sought out the school with the largest stadium and fan base for maximum exposure so he could leave. Nobody was giving him a shot until he proved he could recruit 5 star talent bc even if he was undefeated and didn’t recruit well they wouldn’t care about him but now that he’s a threat during recruiting season all the offers came.
He SPECIFICALLY SAID ITS NOT ABOUT THE MONEY BUT ABOUT A LEGACY FOR ALL HBCUs yet used that as an excuse to leave and take most of the talented players with him! This is a slap in the face……he basically told us that one of our best sports institutions isn’t better than their worst……Colorado is a failure but he’s just happy he got the seat he claimed he didn’t want.
Write me👆
Thank you! This is the truth talking here. Our ppl are so lost.....
You are delusional. JSU does not have its own stadium. They Trae to the Vet. Ticket sales are pennies. It is eyes from TVs, internet and social media exposure that brings the big money. The Coaches are not the decision makers to get the HBCUs athletics eligible to compete at the next level. You have to send that energy to the Conference Commissioners, bowl organizers and administrators. Pleas research for the facts and do not ap3ak out of emotion. This is BUSINESS. The HBCUs need a complete overhaul of the good Ole boys network in our community and each individual needs to give to the students. Volunteer and mentor as well. Coach Prime is just a football Coach. WE don't need a savior. We need self motivation, individual responsibility, integrity with character. Stop the ENTITLEMENT mindset.
@@jacquelinestokes7707 first of all JSU has owned the Vet for 10 years now. Coaches and athletic directors make the big decisions on the direction of the sports programs. Why the hell do you think they pulled out of the SHC contract, built new facilities and totally revamped slogans on everything to iBelieve. It was under the direction of the coach! Try doing YOUR research, take a reading comprehension and grammar class before you try to insult my intelligence with your infantile mentality.
Ya’ll dreaming thinking those PWI’S were scared of that 🤡 He pulled one 5star recruit and aint that good to begin with.
