He's got similar pics with Saban and Smart though. Every college coach has associations with these kinds of guys.
Well, do a quick inquiry on his background and you will find that he is not smart.I would think this guy is smart enough not to do this… seems staged to me.
It happens all the time. If a coach is a recruiting a player, sure, you'll let his personal coach come hang out at the practice facility and give him a hat and a shirt.

That's not true! It's a very light skinned Black person. I've been called that and I'm not of mixed race, but you're right, it does have a negative connotation.A term referring to a person of mixed race. I’ve never heard it used except in a negative manner.
You're really reaching here.Yes, but I still would like our local media to ask Dabo about the relationship and let him respond and confirm.
I really think its a question that has Kornblut all over it.
Our local media reaches all the time with our program, and Dabo has been known to plant reaching questions with certain of his media pals, when it is something he wants to answer that will benefit him and make Clemson look good.You're really reaching here.

Dabo is a big boy, makes a lot of $$$, what is the big deal if, he gets asked?

Looks like he is an equal opportunity racist.
Why intentionally ruin your income stream? There must have been a payoff somewhere.As someone who lives in the state of Georgia, I can tell you the political climate is not very different from the rest of the country, so I'm not exactly sure what you're driving at.
I think your last sentence is the most accurate description.
This guy has ridden the backs of a lot of black kids and turned on them because of their color and his hatred for blacks. Sad.The saddest part to me is all the personal relationships that were just trashed. You'd like to think on some level he actually cared about the kids he worked with. Many of them probably considered him a good mentor and friend.
Do what I do for a living. You’d be shocked at the stupid things even supposedly smart people will do or try to do. It is amazing some times.Why intentionally ruin your income stream? There must have been a payoff somewhere.
Even stupid people are not that stupid!
OK, got my attention. Enlighten us.Do what I do for a living. You’d be shocked at the stupid things even supposedly smart people will do or try to do. It is amazing some times.
Business and tax law. Everything from continuing to deduct depreciation on assets you no longer own to failing to remit withholding taxes…and sometimes worse. That’s what most of my appearances in tax court are regarding. Even had a client who attempted to claim his children as dependents as deductions although they were in their 30s and married….didn’t think the IRS would notice.OK, got my attention. Enlighten us.
I agree, with a caveat: this man’s language is extreme. Obviously this kind of racism exists, but it’s GOOD that his language is shocking to us. That tells you it’s not nearly as commonplace or pervasive as it once was. This man represents a dying breed. While I detest everything this man said, I would equally detest for people to present this as commonplace.You would be surprised about what people will say or do and what they perceive to be a same space. Perhaps those outraged by this will be more understanding to those who are subject to this type of hateful language and not try to discredit them when they us their platform to call it out.
I'd be interested to know if the author has ever played sportsI already read one article which essentially said that this man represents every white athletic coach in America, which is absurd.
That’s not entirely true. POC call light skinned people of color red as well.A term referring to a person of mixed race. I’ve never heard it used except in a negative manner.

"Lighter coloured blacks" is mixed race. That means the individual has both African and European ancestry. Maybe some native American thrown in there too.Not of mixed race. Lighter colored blacks. Blacks use the term
Not necessarily. Could be some middle eastern or others"Lighter coloured blacks" is mixed race. That means the individual has both African and European ancestry. Maybe some native American thrown in there too.
It means they are as much black as they are white.
Well, the NAACP took issue with the hunting and lynching references and is calling on GBI to investigate.The "racist" accusation gets thrown around so casually these days, it's almost become white noise (no pun intended). But this is some hardcore racist stuff. Posting a video of yourself online threatening a lynching? Yikes. Since he actually shows the girl driving the car in his video, I wonder if she has any legal recourse to sue on the basis of civil rights?
I'm at a loss. I've never heard anything so caricaturishly racist outside TV shows or movies. To think there are real live human beings in this day and age who act and think like that is apalling and a little frightening. I wonder why he would record a video of his own private musings in the car though. Maybe he was tired of hiding. Maybe he was tired of a lot of things. I don't know. I've heard some pretty terrible stuff, but this blows it all away. I thought the guy at the hospital making jokes about black people in the elevator was about the worst. I just... I don't get it. People are people. But if there are more people like this guy around who have no problem telling folk what they think, no wonder many black people don't like white people. Why is there so much hate in people's hearts?
People native to India, while dark-skinned, are classified as caucasian.Not necessarily. Could be some middle eastern or others
Still think there is financial motivation involved in some way and he is being used. He has obviously been entrepreneurial in his life, so cutting that life line makes no sense IMHO.Something about it doesn't add up and I'd love to hear an explanation from the guy, but I'm sure that'll never happen. Even the small handful of people left in America who believe the way this guy believes knows enough not to broadcast their views this publicly.
What I hope does not happen, but what probably will happen, is folks will latch onto this guy and say he's symptomatic of overall race relations in this country. Nothing could be further from the truth. His words rightfully shock, disgust and appall us for the very reason that he is an outlier in regards to race relations.

Agree with everything you stated.It will likely remain a mystery.
For his sake and the sake of all those who trusted him, my hope is that he will be struck by the awfulness and ugliness of hearing his own words. It's one thing to say it. It's another to hear it played back for you. I'm all about forgiveness, but I'm not sure what the road to redemption is here. Step 1 would be publicly acknowledging the atrocity of your words and admitting that you're racist. I don't know what Step 2 is. You can't just ask forgiveness after saying such vile things. HIs only real hope is the gospel, as this is a heart issue, but I'm sure he'd probably claim to be a Christian.
It's messed up and some damage simply cannot be undone.
Which would bring up several questions.Still think there is financial motivation involved in some way and he is being used. He has obviously been entrepreneurial in his life, so cutting that
My thoughts exactly. He's simply a dumbass bigot....no other rationale makes sense. And they do exist and probably more than most of us would believe....blocked two former HS friends on FB because they used the "N" word in several posts.Which would bring up several questions.
Who in their right mind would finance such an endeavor and the better question to what end ?
Wouldn't a consideration be given, once I pay him, I no longer own him, he owns me ?
There has been nothing but unanimous condemnation, and rightfully so.
The very simple answer could be, he has shown himself, and in his own warped reality thought these posts would be considered satire.
We are not dealing with a rational individual judging from his past.
Taylor is a former Northside Middle School teacher and coach, and in 2007, he pleaded guilty to a felony charge of influencing a witness.
He was accused that same year of stalking and harassing his ex-fiancée, who was also a teacher.
Houston County Schools fired Taylor from his teaching and coaching jobs in 2007, and he was banished from the county.

Questions worth investigating for sure.Who in their right mind would finance such an endeavor and the better question to what end ?
Wouldn't the infamous NDA come into play here?Wouldn't a consideration be given, once I pay him, I no longer own him, he owns me ?
Agree 100%! His statements are ignorant and racist. But why the sudden appearance and no history to back it up!There has been nothing but unanimous condemnation, and rightfully so.
Which makes him a perfect target as a patsy. Obviously not a clear thinker. Easy money makes people do crazy things.We are not dealing with a rational individual judging from his past.
