And UK is the racist program???

[Cawood86_rivals]

Really? You think I'm going to read some garbage like that? Good grief. You just know K had some of his lackeys suggest an article like this. Just pathetic.

Read the first couple of sentences, no way I would read the rest of that crap. Plus too long of an article to waste my time reading about suckass Duke and coach Ratface. And Duke Sucks!

I would say Hampton University is the most racist College.

Dont know what all of u are talking about. I think its great that coach krsewliski is breaking down barriers and utilizing black players now. Hes way ahead of his time especially being the first coach to recruit multiple one and dones.

The only city I have ever been refused service in a restaurant due to the color of my skin is Durham, NC.

RIP BIG, Anniversary of his death just passed

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen
How's everybody doing tonight?
I'd like to welcome to the stage
The lyrically acclaimed
I like this young man, because when he came out
He came out with the phrase
He went from ashy to classy – I like that
So everybody in the house
Give a warm round of applause for the Notorious B.I.G
The Notorious B.I.G
Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for him y'all!

Never heard of that until today. Thanks for saving anyone the research.

I still don’t know how, in today’s world, K gets a pass on the fact that he openly and obviously recruits white players even when he’s able to recruit the top 10 so effectively, and there aren’t many white kids there.

He’s got 3 top 10 picks this year, to go along with a few unknown white kids from wherever.

He’s the only guy who can walk into a gym of 100 black guys and pull the top 3, while somehow finding 2 hidden white guys that “fit” his “system”.

For years the excuse was “It’s Duke, academics, system”. Now that they have worse academic standards than anyone, what’s the excuse? He’s still doing it.

I have no problems with a team full of white dudes. White guys bring their own elements just like anyone else. But in this day and age, how does he, of all people, get away will it? And why do black people seem to totally overlook it? Just seems weird given the ways of the country today.

If Kentucky had as many white guys year in and year out as Duke, it would be a topic of conversation on ESPN. I can see it now, “is there a racial element to Kentucky’s whiteness”


Or did K really believe Jack White, Baker, and O’conell fit in perfectly with Zion, Bagley, Barrett, and Carter?

K prefers the image. I just wonder why people of today overlook that but can’t overlook a white guy eating a taco?

All good points but, when I think of Div. 1 programs that, in this day and age, seem just a little "too white" I automatically think of Wisconsin and to a lesser extent Notre Dame and Purdue. Maybe I'm imagining things but, those 3 programs (along with Dook) always seem to have a bunch of white dudes.
Obviously in a perfect world the ball don't care and the number of white guys vs. black guys on a squad shouldn't matter. But, we don't live in that world and such things almost invariably garner the attention of a sports media hell bent on creating storylines wherever the opportunity pops up.
Except apparently in the case of Dook and a handful of other programs.
For Dook the same media that hounded UK fans when OTS left to take the Minnesota job, is apparently creating fake anti-racism articles to paint that program in the best possible light. I guess ESPN has now taken the role of fulltime Dook apologists and PR firm.

Not to that guy's mother last year that compared playing for Dook to being a slave LOL.

She was at countdown to craziness this year. Her comment was about the NCAA. Not Duke specific
