On April 10, self-proclaimed civil rights activist Lauren Angelica Law shared clips of the coach on Facebook. It is unclear how Law obtained the videos or when they were filmed. In the video, Tylor went on to say, “Atlanta used to be a fun place and that non-white person can have it,” and encouraged her friends to come and go “hunting.” She used the N word and calls attention to a tree where she says a young black woman could be hung.
The son of Curtis Harris who trained with Taylor says he stopped training with the trainer due to some similar red flags. He explained some of the things that the coach would say to that effect, “Like, hey. I have a lot of kids that come to stay at my house, I have this kid that comes to stay with me and I have this kid that comes to use my toothbrushes, I take this kid here and there for free.” Harris also said that “if you have to start saying what you’re doing for other people, then you’re not doing it for the right reasons.”
Since then, the videos have gone viral, sparking outrage among Facebook users with comments like “Shame on you!” and “We do not support racism.” It is confirmed that Taylor was previously banished from Houston County after being paroled for harassing a teacher in 2007. He later petitioned to have the banishment removed from his sentence. A judge also granted his request. Well, racism is not a joke nowadays, we should all oppose it. We have reached out to Taylor for comment, but his number has since been disconnected.
