Just because you’re black doesn’t mean your opinions are correct. BLM and antifa are political organizations that are Marxist and anti-American! Anyone with two brain cells that is even remotely objective knows this to be true. There are even people on the left and many Black people that do not support those organizations. And if you think the majority of Clemson fans support this BS you are sadly mistaken! I guarantee you 70 to 80% if not more of Clemson alumni and IPTAY members Do not support this BS! Let Dabo get too far out over his skis supporting BLM and you will see people telling IPTAY to take a hike! This is all political nonsense! Black people in America have it better than anywhere else in the world! Black people in America are not being oppressed and black people are not being gunned down by the police! This is main stream media and social media propaganda and hysteria! But there is zero statistical or other data or evidence to support the claims of BLM and antifa. Are there racist people in America? Yes. Because they are racist people in every country and every culture. Black people in America are some of the most racist people on this planet. There have been polls were even Black people vote that they are the most racist people in America. But America is not a racist country. Not anymore. And America was not founded on racism. And there is no such thing as systemic racism. That is a made up term after the laws were changed and America was no longer supporting institutional racism.

White privilege doesn’t exist. That’s propaganda. White people have an advantage because we are the majority of the population. Try being white in a black neighborhood or in a black business. Try being a white American in France or Asia. There’s no privilege when you go to those places. There are more poor white people in America than the total number of Black people. There is no privilege to be in white. The only privilege in America is economic. Stop drinking the Kool-Aid!

I think many Whites may disagree my friend. I have many friends that are white and I understand that systemic racism(if it exists at all) is actually against whites from my experience. Is it harder to make it if you start lower on the totem pole .... YES... but that goes for ALL poor white, black and brown people. As far as systemic racism (ie stacking the deck against you because of the color of your skin)....my white friends faced tougher admission standards to get accepted into college. They had less scholorship opportunities because of the color of their skin. They faced a much harder time landing a corp or govt position only because they happenned to have been born white. I remember when I would take my white friends into the city to the Clubs, I saw how they were treated just because they were white even though they were with me. I remember being embarrassed about it and we never went back. Once at my house, I recall my Mom telling me to walk them out to their car when they were leaving the house one night just because they were white and she was concerned for them.. Yet, when I would visit their homes over break I never felt concerned in that way nor when I went into a “Mostly White” bar. I may not have grown up “In Privelage” (meaning with $) like they did but they certainly don’t have “White Privelage”. Thats just my experience and I know everyone has their own set of experiences that shape them and I respect that but I think we are all equal in Gods eyes and we should all try harder to look through that lense.

Dabo has done basically what every coach has done, just shut up and follow along. Which is fine, it's his program

I'll just say the money I spent previously on Clemson football, its hard to justify anymore. The excitment just isnt there for me anymore. It's clear Dabo and his program have decided to support an organization i think are dead set on destroying this country as we know it

He should apologize to every cop he hurt with his comments


Just my opinion

Re: We're making national news now


Sep 15, 2020, 8:25 AM

Lets really pout some thought into this. The players want to speak up for a cause they believe in whether you or I or anyone else likes it or not. Dabo is simply supporting his players. Whats he supposed to do... say he doesn't share his players beliefs? Wouldn't make for a very successful program with that kind of disconnect between the coach and players. Every motion that the football team has made has been peaceful in nature. Unless something happens that isn't peaceful, he has no good reason to speak out against it.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: We're making national news now


Sep 15, 2020, 8:41 AM

Using your logic there is literally nothing the players could say that Dabo wouldn't have to support. Overthrow the government? OK. Tear up the Constitution? Sounds good. Kill all cops? Sure, you can run a 4.4. Saying he "has no choice" means fielding a competitive football team is more important than having beliefs you won't throw out the window the first time its professionally uncomfortable. Nothing brave at all about selling your soul to appeal to players (or potential players) who support a racist, America hating organization. Quite the opposite actually.

Actually I call BS on that. Double says his job and his calling is to build men. To build men of character. We’re going to find out whether he really means that. Because as a Christian and as the coach he says he is rather than letting these players and these kids believe BS propaganda he would be teaching them the reality! He would show them the video tape of Marcellus Wiley calling BS on BLM! He would show them videos of One of the truly great Americans, Thomas Sowell, explaining in detail with rock solid proof and evidence that everything the left, especially the far left, believes is total BS and propaganda! He would show them videos of Larry elder and tons of other successful black conservatives and Asian conservatives and Hispanic conservatives and immigrants from other countries that know what real racism and real injustice and real prejudice and real communism and socialism look like and explaining to these kids why they are by far the luckiest kids in the world and that they are living in the best time in the best country to ever exist in the history of mankind! If Dabo is the person he has always claimed to be he would not get out over his skis on this BS and at some point will start pushing back and educating his players.

If the players are supporting BLM the organization then Dabo has the responsibility to teach his players what BLM stands for. He says he wants to mold them etc. he owes it to those players to educate them, if he does that and they still are behind the organization then so be it.

To disagree does not equal: To look down upon or to hate.

I disagree with the BLM Organization's stance and I believe it should in no way be associated with the Clemson football team.

I fully support the player's right to calmly and peacefully support their position. While I think there needs to be a multi-directional conversation, I have empathy for what they are feeling and I have no issue with them expressing it.

I think our team and players are smart enough to come up with a way to do this that does not involve using a sticker that represents the BLM organization.

The admiration pedestal Dabo has been placed on since performing a truly miraculous turnaround in Clemson football fortunes has gotten somewhat smaller with his handling of the BLM issue. His focus to help ALL Clemson players regardless of race is without question and he indeed loves his players even when administering corrective discipline. As a coach who focuses on detail, I think he failed in not thoroughly vetting the BLM organization and what their goals are. His capitulation on stickers or any other media showing support for BLM just diminishes his stature further among some fans. Make no mistake, dear ole Clemson has become a liberal bastion like most all universities with their snowflakes and safe places. Dabo must operate in that environment and he does.

The players have the power and the platform, Dabo cannot stop this movement, Clemson football isn't winning anything without African American players, they wanted helmet stickers and they got them, and if someone said no then the players wouldn't play. Nobody cares about fans with hurt feelings, this is all about the players and they are on the right side of justice and so is BLM.
