@CoachHILLdaGURU Doesn't matter. If he doesn't show up to workouts all summer, then he shouldn't have priority in selecting what he wants.

[Mike Ihejeto @MikeFromTheBay]

@CoachRC23 @STSBreeze It was a joke.

[Mike Ihejeto @MikeFromTheBay]

You probably a bad coach yourself. 🤷‍♂️

[Select Training Solutions @STSBreeze]

Some of yall are just really bad high school coaches. You Only know how to coach one type of kid because your personal biases and stereotypes don't allow you to connect with those kids that don't meet your lens. This is why kids don't stay with your programs. You never evolved.

So many Black boys have been killed in Chicago by other Black boys.

We barely see their names. No nationwide calls for justice. No people posting heartfelt videos about them.

The moment a Black boy goes missing and ultimately loses his life after being seen with his White friends, now we all of a sudden know names, want justice and are obsessed with holding people who may or may not be guilty accountable.

Are we kidding ourselves. This is why people don't take Black America seriously.

The ONLY time we want justice is when we think a White person did something wrong to a Black person.

That's sick.

[Mike Ihejeto @MikeFromTheBay]

Maybe they actually don't have those types of kids. Therefore, you're just assuming.

[Rudy Alvarez @CoachAlvarez62]

A run first/establish the run type of offense is overrated. Learn the art of passing the ball.

“We don’t have those type of kids” comment is also something coaches say cause they’re either lazy or don’t know how to properly teach QBs and passing game.

Give me the 15-0 BackUp over the 5-5 starter! Winning ain’t NEVER Won, and I don’t want a guy who has developed and accepted a 5-5 mentally.

[Jeffery Mead @the_jefferymead]

Too many black people are feining for something that has to do with white people so they can cry racism and talk about slavery and the past.

Like this video.

That’s goofy behavior. They ignore the real problems and focus on what’s convenient to the narrative they want.

[Jeffery Mead @the_jefferymead]

The 4th of July should be celebrated.

This is the greatest country in world and it offers more opportunity to black people than any other country.

You don’t have to love the fact that this country was started with slaves.

But you also shouldn’t ignore the institutional foundations that were laid in order to allow us to now have more opportunity than blacks anywhere else.

[Jeffery Mead @the_jefferymead]

@TifahCrump777 Y’all care about “black lives” until that black life is taken by another black person.

Then it’s crickets.

[Jason Whitlock @jasonwhitlock]

Victor Wembanyama is a punk and possibly the most protected player in the history of sports.

[Jeffery Mead @the_jefferymead]

@zellieimani 1. We don't live in an anti black country.

2. I also noticed how neither one of the situations you mentioned here were black on black. Which is where most of us are actually murdered.

I guess it's only good for the narrative if other races are involved.

[Mike Ihejeto @MikeFromTheBay]

Well, yeah, because they have goals of their own. They're not going to be there forever. 🤷‍♂️

[Coach John @Sauce_MacKenzie]

Every successful HS coach needs a strong right hand man that will be loyal to him & never undermine him. If you look at some of the best programs, they have loyal, smart Number 2 guys. WHO DONT WANT TO BETRAY THE HC. Too many assistant coaches with personal agendas

[Breiden Fehoko @BreidenFehoko]

Abdul Carter in a nutshell.

“I want Jaxson Dart to stand up for what he believes in”

*Jaxson Dart stands up for what he believes in

“I’m going to criticize him cause I don’t believe in what he believes in”

You can’t fix stupid in this country.

[Mike Ihejeto @MikeFromTheBay]

@coachkaitkeat That all sounds sweet until it's time to pay the rent and bills. You need some sort of compensation to get by, especially in this economy we're living in now.

[Michelle Maxwell ™ @MichelleMaxwell]

God bless this man for spelling things out for these students. Don’t get things twisted kids of all backgrounds&races aren’t showing the same respect to authority figures as we did. I don’t know who is at fault but I am grateful this man is taking the time to open their eyes👏🏻👏🏻

[Mike Ihejeto @MikeFromTheBay]

Who cares? If the kids like the term, use it.

I thought this was about the kids. 😂

[Dillon Ray Martinez @DillonMartinez]

Again. It is never acceptable to equate sports to war.

“We’re going to battle tonight boys.”

No you’re not.

It’s a cheap and disrespectful way to hype up your team.

[Jason Whitlock @jasonwhitlock]

You left out a key word. "White." As soon as a WHITE player introduces the President.... Black players and people are in the habit of criticizing/dictating/correcting the behavior of white people while maintaining no standard of behavior for black people. God complex.

[A Gene Robinson @AlBuffalo2nite]

Interesting comparison… but people are intentionally missing the deeper issue.

Nobody is angry that young Black graduates are joyful after earning diplomas. Most people actually love seeing young people succeed. The concern is optics, discipline, and whether modern culture increasingly normalizes chaos in moments that historically symbolized dignity and transition into adulthood.

There is a difference between exuberance and disorder.

Buffalo Bills Football fans tearing down goalposts after a championship is also immature chaos. Conservatives criticize that too when it becomes destructive. But stadiums are literally designed around tribal emotional release, alcohol, noise, and spectacle. Graduation ceremonies are supposed to symbolize achievement, composure, self control, and readiness for professional life.

That distinction matters.

What some people are reacting to is not “Black joy.” It is the growing cultural tendency to turn every formal moment into performative spectacle instead of reverence, discipline, and honor. Many Black Americans themselves are saying this privately because they want their children perceived as serious, capable, employable, and prepared.

And here’s the irony…

Previous generations of Black Americans fought through segregation, humiliation, and genuine barriers while still carrying themselves with immense dignity at graduations, church services, military ceremonies, and public events. Suits pressed. Families proud. Conduct measured.

They understood presentation affects opportunity.

That is not “acting white.”
That is understanding civilization, perception, and self respect.

The deeper question is:
Does culture elevate restraint, excellence, literacy, discipline, family structure, and achievement…
or does it reward impulsivity and spectacle?

That question applies to everybody.
White.
Black.
Hispanic.
Asian.
All Americans.
