High School Sport Teams

Chicago IL- Racism has been an issue that has concern many people, mostly for African Americans. Other than African Americans having a different color skin, white people do not want them near them. In schools especially in high schools, parents are demanding the coaches not to involve black children in their after school sport teams. High school parents think it is inappropriate for black kids to stand out more than their children. “It is not fair that my children are being placed under black kids in the school track team” mentioned Kayla House, a mom who claims her kid has to be valued more than blacks.
Mrs. House wants them out of the team; she spoke to the coaches, principal, and then took it to the school board. “African Americans develop muscles much quicker without doing weights, and my kid works out very hard to gain and earn them”, said Britney Hudson. A No black children have been gone from sport teams yet, but the Niles North High School is thinking in dropping the white kids instead, since the winners are all black, and also have the best racing times.
Also black fathers are embarrassed of watching white children on the high school track team. “It has been a challenge for white kids to run, and they can barely place fifth place in a race, whereas running to our kids comes more naturally and we always obtain all gold, silver, and bronze metals”, claimed Jamal Wimberley, a concern father. White parents are becoming scared of how black kids are taking over their children spot light. “Although we do walk slowly, we are cheetahs in the track” said another father, Marquis Williams.
Now Niles North High School is also watching African Americans on the different teams, they are becoming aware of how good they are not only in track but basketball, football, soccer, and even baseball.
