He stuck to the Christianity view of the world but never once empathized with the plight of young black youth.

He is a guy who came from nothing who used borderline talent to play WR at Alabama. So he doesn't at all feel privileged and cannot admit that he has benefitted from his skin color.

But he is being called on it by lots of prominent members of the black community and media. Example Example 2 Example 3 Example 4

Ultimately, recruiting is about parents entrusting their kids with you and Dabo did not do well this week.

Past Player Accuses of Racism more

This has to benefit LSU, who has a more genuine version of Dabo, right?

I could either see a Hugh Freeze-like fall, or nothing happens.

That’s the dumbest crap I have ever heard. This country is in ruins and you are worried about a man sticking to his faith?

His players know what type of person, man he is. He doesn't need to give fake sympathy and concern in order to get the public to like him like all these other sorry souls are doing including politicians, hollywood stars, etc.

Dabo is sappy, whiny and annoying, but everyone needs to stop hanging on every sound bite that someone says and trying to weaponize their words.

So a person is naturally racist because of their skin color. It's kinda weird, seems like you might be the racist one.

America is the least racist country in the world. We still have problems and issues to improve, no question, but this country fought a war to end slavery. No other country has done that and slavery still exists in many countries today.

This is the dumbest post in the history of this board. Let's not get this twisted. These "young black men" live in the greatest country in the history of the world. There is not one country in the world that has sacrificed more for the cause of justice and equality. You should read a book!!!

He was able to pull just about any recruit he wanted as well as getting numerous juniors to return for their senior year AFTER the incident happened.

Dabo had almost no decommitments or transfers in the last 5 years.

Whatever he's doing it's working.

Now, could it affect future classes? Maybe. Would be a real shame if #KKKlemson started trending.

You are as dumb as a rock and your prejudice is being exposed.
Have you ever heard of Dr. Martin Luther King?
I see as many or more African Americans giving credit to God when the make a big play.

If I was a parent I would trust a God fearing says what he thinks coach for my kid much more than a PC spouting bullsh!t artist any day!

So, are you siding with the terrorists masquerading as protesters?

And why is there a need to protest? Didn't the perpetrator get arrested for his crime? Isn't there a system of justice and a rule of law in this country that automatically takes care of situations like that one?

I feel bad for the victim, but it's not like the perpetrator will go unpunished for his crime. Hence, why the excuse to protest and to perpetrate widespread terrorism at the same time all around the country?

Indeed, what is the left hoping to accomplish by fomenting racism and widening the gap of racial disparity in this country?

Are they deliberately trying to divide the country along racial lines to intentionally weaken it? What do they hope to gain by it?

Dabo is a quality man and a quality coach. The profession could use more Dabo Sweeney's. This knit picking every person in authority is ridiculous. Take the PC elsewhere.
We are all getting tired of walking on eggshells trying not to offend somebody, some animal, some building or some monument. Cant we just all try to get along and look for the good in people, at least occasionally!

We're going to beat their (expletive) in recruiting. We're going to beat their (expletive) every time they see us. You understand that? Roll Tide what? (Expletive) you."

You can't really be serious, can you? Inventing racism out of a person not feeling guilty for NO REASON, and trying to leverage that in LSU's favor?

Dabo didn't benefit from being white anymore than I did. And I have not benefited from it at all. Black people often get jobs to fill quota's, regardless of their qualifications. Does that sound fair? Does it sounds like "white privilege"? Does it maybe sound more like black privilege?

Black people make up the majority of violent crime DESPITE being just 13 percent of the population. Think about that ratio? With that in mind, of course blacks will have more interactions with police. But the amount of black people killed at the hands of police per interaction does not support the narrative of "systemic racism". Not even close. In fact, it is closer to "racism" toward whites, if we want to sit here and split hairs.

So, what it comes down to, is black people have issues with fatherless homes (over 70% of black families are fatherless) and pervasive criminal activity that stems from the lack of stability and discipline, and some of you want to blame WHITE people for that. Black people need to stop listening to liberals telling them the world is against them, stop voting for those people, and go pull themselves up.

White people have families, too. What are we supposed to do? Work with us, or keep feeling sorry for yourselves. We can't help you if you keep voting for Democrats and blaming us for your problems. Stop telling us to listen to you. We've been doing that for decades. You won't listen to reason. And without that, there isn't a discussion, or a solution to anyone's problems. Just assumptions, accusations and continued pointless violence.
