White amerika and its white religion have participated in our destruction, and they have done so while yet claiming to be righteous purveyors of the Christian love ethic. This reality should tell us that we cannot cave in to the pattern of belief that mandates our powerlessness and then calls it a crime to fight back against abuse. Let us be starkly aware that as we waste time debating among ourselves on the merits of fighting back, the culture-bound immuno-depressant disorder that plagues whites with the most extreme of contradictions continues to mutate, thrive and victimize us unmercifully with a spiritual terrorism that produces in us post traumatic stress responses.
Mark Taylor has made a living off of the talents of young Black football players, promising to take players to the next level and get them a shot at getting into D1 schools and the NFL. Of course, this is riding on the talents of the players themselves who, at most, receive a bit of a tailwind to push them on their journey that they could have received from any of the many competent coaches and trainers. Well, that work should be coming to an abrupt close after videos were leaked showing who Taylor really is behind the façade.
•
In the videos, Taylor showed how comfortable he is saying the n-word, repeating it throughout. He joyfully brought his conversation to the territory of racial terrorism and hate crimes. Instead of any hesitation with his bigoted behavior, he did it all with a dramatic flair. Now, Taylor is about to enter the consequence zone for his bigoted behavior.
•
This is a new low for Taylor, but it’s not his first time in the spotlight for negative behavior. He lost his job as a teacher in 2007 after stalking a woman and was jailed 2 years later after being convicted of domestic violence.

We really need to be more shrewd as a people. We have excellent Black coaches and trainers. We have everything we need within our own people. There is no reason to take our funds and funnel them outside of the community only to be subjected to all the hidden racism of bigots like Coach Taylor.
