I will put it to you this way. I will believe the people that were good enough to play for Kentucky and played for neighboring school like Louisville and what they thought of Coach Rupp. Was the Texas Western program in the Deep South? I guess Oscar Robinson never played southern school when he was a Cincinnati either or any other Black player at that time? There is a term that I have heard all my life as it related to race relations. “Up South” and “Down South” are terms used by many Black people at that time and still today. Just because Black people lived in the south did not mean they had that much of an easier road.

Peace
