Clemson’s 2024 season got off to a horrific start on Saturday, falling in a largely non-competitive matchup with the Georgia Bulldogs. And former NFL wide receiver Roddy White has one explanation for why Clemson perhaps didn’t come out and compete.
Georgia’s offense had very few issues moving the ball at will on Clemson, particularly in the second half of the game. Star quarterback Carson Beck looked as good as advertised, throwing for 278 yards and two touchdowns in the 34-3 victory.
Meanwhile, Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik largely struggled to show much growth in his season debut, throwing for just 142 yards with one interception in the defeat.
Georgia is obviously an excellent team that will make a lot of teams look bad this season. But clearly, this was not the best representation of Clemson’s skills by any means. The game caused White to take to social media to criticize Swinney’s recruiting efforts, claiming that Swinney’s recruiting problem is that he has “too many white dudes” on offense.
“Clemson got way too many white dudes on the field on offense this ain’t them,” wrote White on X. “U mean to tell me u only got one black dude out there making plays? That’s a recruiting problem.”

We haven’t had slavery for a long, long time. Our parents fought the Civil Rights battles and now there is little excuse for all this whining. Law school, med school, the House, the Senate, the Presidency, CEOs, acting, sports, you name it, there are no barriers, country clubs, million dollar houses, mortgages, all is open and available. People are bending over backwards to make sure everyone is afforded their civil rights. So can we stop all this acting like a victim?
“The European kingdoms were the players that brought them here. And that would have been hard to do if the African tribes had been unified and fought anyone that came there looking for slaves.”
It was the African tribes who SOLD the slaves. The Europeans stayed offshore in their ships, not wanting to risk catching malaria or any other African diseases.
The slaves were mostly the losers of African tribal wars, as well as any troublemakers the tribes wanted to exile. If there weren’t slavers to buy them, they would have just been killed.
“ Little hint for ya, the Irish were the first slaves in the colonies and they don’t use such excuses to justify poor performance.”
Originally, Europeans were shipped over as indentured servants, who would work for 7 years to pay their passage and get their freedom.
This changed after Bacon’s Rebellion in 1675

“ The gentry viewed a surplus of landless former servants as dangerous, as Berkeley wrote, “How miserable that man is that Governs a People when six parts of Seaven at least are Poor Endebted Discontented and Armed.”
The shift from servant to slave labor accelerated once the slave trade made African slaves available in large numbers. “
“It was the white slave owners who wanted to keep the black as slaves.”
Another little historical fact: Only 1.4% of whites owned slaves in 1840. However, 24% of blacks owned slaves.
The first slave trader in the U.S. was a black man, and slavery was rampant in Africa long before that.
Of course. Some people act like slavery was some sort of new concept incented in the colonies by white people.
I’ve had arguments with a black person who was under the misconception that only white people were racist.
...they had six straight commercials with all black actors.
What? Not a single “in your face” white woman with all those black guys? I’m shocked.
Liberals are like little children in that they think they are never wrong but everyone else is for doing the same things.
Corner drug dealers and garden variety thugs really don't care about black representation in commercials, TV shows, and movies.
Was that the Oklahoma State coach who wore a One American News Network shirt?
Looks like the black supremacist guys want more than their 12% football slots. If they used going to college for something other than football and basketball, they might not need jobs getting their brains knocked out playing little boys’ games.
Less than one quarter of the defense is White dudes. Does Roddy “too many White dudes” White blame the White dudes for giving up so many points?

Outrageous comments
It’s killing college football.
I’m at the point where I don’t even care about the Gators anymore.
Obviously Miami is going to buy a championship. If that’s college football now, I’m out!
Did they go to "Black Acting School"?
Malcolm X was right when he called black entertainers “Puppets” for white liberals.
Black people actually complained with the US Mens Olympic Basketball team had ONE white guy on the team, they wanted the team to be all black.
The blacks in Africa enslaved other blacks and sold them to the Arabs. The arabs sold them to European shippers who transported the vast majority of them to the Islands. The lucky ones ended up here. Many died in the Islands.
Be sure to remember that there were thousands of blacks in this country who owned thousands of slaves. There were at least 3,000 blacks in New Orleans alone who were slave owners. Some blacks owned large plantations and bought and sold slaves. We would never have had slavery here if it weren't for blacks.
IF FOOTBALL PLAYERS ARE RECRUITED WITH SCHOLARSHIPS-—
MAYBE TOO MANY “BLACK DUDES” CANNOT MAINTAIN THOSE STANDARDS.
