Please remind me who built the fort hill mansion by hand? Who built and sustained TGC’s wealth


Jun 13, 2020, 1:50 PM

Maybe we should name it after the folks who actually built and sustained it. But I digress- Things have not changed much when we think about how much athletes of color have brought our university in notoriety and growing applications. Thanks DeShaun and Homer Jordan and Deandre and Perry Tuttle for building this athletic house and by extension contributing to this academic institution.

Sir, you are getting too emotional & need to at least post on the appropriate sites.

And, Clemson football has done just fine for 100+ years b/4 the fine players you mentioned.

Pastor Brown I’m curious. What is your sermon about tomorrow? I’m not implying anything or being a jerk. I’m just sincerely interested in knowing what you will talk about during these troubled times?

Hopefully it’s about how Black Dads Matter since Father’s Day is approaching.

You only listed black athletes Brown. I guess we have never had any white or other athletes.

Why no white athletes mentioned- context and argument and point... come on, man!!!!!

Thank Clemson also for the scholarship that those players agreed to before they every played a down for Clemson. And Clemson still honors scholarships if they turn out not good enough to play!!!

Absolutely, and they'll honor them even if a player goes to the NFL. When they're done, they can come back. That is a huge difference between us and Alabama. They recruit 25 every year, somebody gets their walking papers all the time. They roll them right out of there.

We should thank all the graduates that have received a quality education and went out in the world and made a difference in their respective fields. These grads have gave millions of dollars back to the university they love and become mentors to help our current students achieve the dream they have set out on.

I believe the correct answer is people built them.

Pastor, I totally get where you're coming from. I'm not going to let these other guys gang up on you since their prism is strictly counterintuitive to your point.

Let the ones on here speaking about how well Clemson did in sports pre integration list the national titles, the revenue from football and basketball pre integration; I'll wait on that information. It's not acknowledging that Clemson didn't have good white athletes, it's just a common tactic to use when someone doesn't agree with you or fail to do the research and agree with what you're saying is correct.

The remarks about black dads missing is just a sample of the ignorance that all of these protests are about. Black people represents about 10-12% of our population, YET, we have an extraordinary percentage of black men in prison. I'll give the ones opposing you something to chew on: it's not our goal to go to prison. Yet, when there are systems set up against a race of people, you get pidgeon holed, then the media reports on only what they want to spew, always controlling the narrative and instead of using the brain God gave them, they believe what they see and hear.

When you don't realize (bc you are Caucasian) that just about EVERY position of power and law are run and ruled by Caucasians, you'll never sit down and think about the WHY? Why does this same race of people keep talking about the same thing over and over again?

Why are some with the same educational accomplishments, resumes, etc that our our black brothers and sisters have, still aren't paid the same wages as our white brothers and sisters? Why is there such thing as white flight? Why is there redlining? Why is it l, historically that when the black community build successful businesses, the white community find different ways to destroy them? (See Black Wall Street Tulsa OK, Hayti Durham NC, Rosewood FL, and the urban renewal/interstate and highway projects, which all ran through prominent and successful black business communities). It's bc one race wants to dominate and keep another race dependent, then slam them for not "working hard, being lazy". Our ancestors built this country with blood sweat and tears, bottom line, made America the superpower that it is today due to supplying products to the world off of free slave labor and we still to this day haven't received our money!

The rebuttal will be the same responses " Get over it", "if you don't like it here go somewhere else", etc. Are you serious?! We're not leaving when we built this nation!

For the ones stating to post on another board, there's constantly political party agendas and opinions stated on this board that has NOTHING to do with Clemson sports and no one tells them to post to another site, and if they do, it's a very small minority. If people on this site don't agree with you, you're called a liberal or reverse racist,yet these are the same ones that claim their Christianity. The Bible refers to these types as Sadducees and carnal Christians; they talk a good game yet aren't about the walk. God never created people to rule over one another, yet, the mindset of many, whether externally or internally feel that it's their God given right to be AND are better than us.
