News flash...Wake Forest is just a glorified liberal arts college. What makes it different from more academically elite liberal arts schools like Williams, or heck even Davidson? The fact they play ACC sports, without such a message board like this probably wouldn't even exist. You think as many Millenials or GenZ kids would know about Wake Forest without Tim Duncan and Chris Paul? If SAT scores are so important to you, go join a Princeton message board.

Meh kids find out about Wake when there North East private school college counselor recommends they apply after they get turned down from Ivey league and elite colleges. Most have no clue about Duncan.

Not knocking wake but just saying.

I didn't realize that Dutch Deacon graduated in 1865.

I know this is a joke, but if Dutch Deacon did graduate in 1965 and he enrolled in 1961, Wake Forest was still segregated when he enrolled as a freshman and we made the Final Four his freshman year. Poor guy probably connects the two.

Sadly, you're probably right.
And, if you're timeline is right, it means he likely grew up in the 1950s, which obviously shaped his worldview.
Of course, we don't know where he grew up precisely, but everywhere then, just as now, was pretty bigoted.
This isn't the first time Dutch has posted "dog whistle racist" crap either.
The guy's a fucking dinosaur.

Maybe high school aged kids today, but in the mid 90's through about 2012, a lot of kids learned about Wake by hearing about players like Duncan, Paul, Teague, etc. Even a tragic loss to Cleveland State as a 2 seed brought attention to the school that we haven't had (except kinda sorta in 2016) in a decade.

Why not cut the bigoted criticism of others based on "your worldview"? Not everyone is perfect like you and PH are. Someone could easily call you names without wasting a breath. The racist brigade on this board loves to play the victim. Perhaps you should have attended a predominately black university which would have maybe been a better choice for you. Ignorance and arrogance play well together and you have it down to a science.

What Dutch said was racist under any definition.

" Dutch Deacon 65 View Post
Manning never recruits good white players"

There's no way around that being racist as well as ignorant and false.

No, but it is racist to say Danny doesn't recruit white guys. It's even worse when it's empirically false.

Weird to see RJ being upset about people saying false things.
 
I graduated in 65, grew up in NC in the 50's and am not racist. Just making sure no one stereotypes me. :cool:
 
Nate Oats is crushing the recruiting trail right now, but nah we’re stuck with Danny boy.
