I thought Georgetown was an all black school growing up. No whites on team or coaches for that matter.
Thompson was succeeded as head coach by a guy he recruited to Georgetown who then spent 20 years as his assistant

Short version: No, not remotely.
Long version: Thompson was unabashedly who he was; he never backed down from a fight, from being confrontational, and being opinionated about race.
That said, John Thompson was a coach first, and an inveterate competitor. He had little time for media distractions, unless they were helping him recruit, then he'd tolerate a tiny bit of circus.
