Didn't the FSU fans start a Go Fund Me account to raise over $20 million to buy out his contract? How's that going?
If you can point to a time in our nation's history where white people were lynched at the rates blacks were during the Jim Crow era, you might have a point. I understand you are saying a death threat is a death threat and should be considered seriously on that fact alone. However, when you consider our nation's history, something like this is put into that historical context, especially when you have a white guy targeting a black guy. Hell, the guy used a picture of a real life lynching from that era with just an incredibly poor photoshop of taggart's head over it.What does race have to do with anything?
Hate is hate. Dead is dead. Why is lynching worse than shooting? Why are mixed race crimes reported in the media but same race crime ignored.
And is a Brithish black man raised in china...Asian, European or African American? And is a white man from South Africa raised in India ...an Indian, African, or European?
I am confused?
What are South East Indians? Are they Black? Asian? or What?

Well the guy said he wanted to lynch Taggart and super imposed his head onto a picture of a dead black man. If you don't see the correlation there, maybe start with the Wikipedia page about lynching and work your way forward.What does race have to do with anything?

I think you are conflating hanging with lynching.Umm. Pretty sure in the 1800's lynching was how you made someone dead so I guarantee you statistically more whites. In any case the hilarity of this is that because he choose lynching over some other method the topic has turned to racism instead of Taggert being a horrible coach. And F$U has to worry about the optics of firing Willie. Again, entirely predictable and I'm loving it! Couldn't happen to a better fan base.
actually, it wasnt the pic that did it. the pic was obviously bad - superimposed head of taggart on an old black and white photo of a man being lynched. But when ppl questioned him in the comments, including one who said, obviously you arent serious about this right? he responded with something to the effect of 'your damn right im serious and totally willing to take it to this level if thats what it takes to get rid of this guy.'
THAT is what did it. What a fool man seriously.

Why?
And if he did the ISIS knife with a decapitated head like the so called Trump Joke would that be racist?
And if he were a Christian, is a crucifixion a Religious hate crime?
He is not doing well and fans are pissed. The media makes this racist because it's part of their narrative.
SAD but it is what it is.
Very true. They're the unfortunate victim of a bad hire and a vicious cycle. I have no idea of knowing if they hired Taggart to fulfill a minority need or perspective, but they could very well be stuck with their decision. The fallout could be huge.Yikes! What a tool. You wonder how some people that stupid have made it that far in their life.
On a positive note, there's no freakin' way in the world that FSU will be firing Taggert any time soon. He can lose 10 games/year for the next 5 years and FSU will feel required to keep him to prove they aren't racist.
