Just curious....Hubert's time w/media yesterday seemed smooth until he lit up twitter. It was a statement I felt wasn't relevant. Thoughts?

Hubert's unusual presser?
- Thread starter hart2chesson
- Start date
Probably looking to avoid alienating people...especially his wife.
What a weird response. Not exactly sure what he was thinking there.
This will make Kessler come back for sure.
Seriously not that big a deal, if a bit awkward. Was he asked about it?

White Wanda makes nanner pudding. Maybe this is his way of saying his white wife can too.
If he was asked about it, I wouldn't take another question from that reporter.

He was asked about his thoughts on being the first black HC at UNC MBB.
Gill that could have very well been it, keeping everyone in his family inclusive. See nothing wrong with that, if it was Hubert's premise.... OFC

. OH I KNOW WHY! lolJust an absurd question to ask in this day and age. Reporter should be banished from pressers.
I have no issue with that answer. How is that weird? He's simply not being tribalistic. There are many African-Americans who don't want to constantly harp on the fact that they are black and strive to create racial harmony rather than exacerbate tribalism.
That's not a political statement, for I do think racism is a problem and we are still feeling the effects of racial segregation. Ironically, "race" is actually a myth, entirely a social construct.

A lot of you are the missing the point. There was no need to bring up his wife or her skin color. His statement seemed like he was proud his wife was white rather than just saying he was proud of the person she is. Basically saying he's proud to have a white wife can make it seem like he's proud that a white woman chose him as a husband. It can come across that he looks at her in a higher regard because she is white.
I can see both sides of this. Either way it was an odd response to the question.
Shouldn’t be a question, so stupid. The USA has several diverse backgrounds, we’re all Americans and race shouldn’t be the narrative here.
I don't remember this commercial. Anyone recall this one? Pretty good stuff.

The answer is odd. I don't think the question about being the first black coach in UNC history is, though.
Odd thing to say but I think he meant well in what he was trying to convey. Who knows but I am feeling gracious today in my reaction lol
Is guru gary -7 a reporter? Could he have credentials with all of his contacts ? Just a thought. OFC
I see it as a totally valid question. The first for anything is noteworthy. Duke's first title was noteworthy.
As for his answer, who knows. Maybe he was just alluding to the concept that 2 people from different races, backgrounds, whatever, found each other and have a successful relationship and didn't let anything get in the way. Not as easy as it sounds.

I really fill coach cackles is gonna keep us filled with great material. In time he could pass hof coach roy williams in blunders. OFC
In this era of identity politics, you almost have to bring it up.
Yea, if you want to keep on with this white black bs forever, but yet cry wolf when you lose in this competition? Bs lol. not surprised
Is Gary still posting at the THR? I was banned in '16 and haven't been back, haha
A mostly white flagship university of the state hires its first Black coach is a big deal especially at a blue blood school even if it is the Cheats so the q was legit but going out of his way to mention his wife is white seemed a tad peculiar
