I just read through this thread. I saw the racial stuff start, though "oh boy, I'm going to have to delete a bunch of crap" -- and then you guys went and had a perfectly civil, decent discussion about race. It's a VolNation Miracle, you guys. Thanks.

If you ask me (which you haven't, of course) so-called racial pride is just plain human stupidity.
There's one race (i.e. species) It's called homo sapiens sapiens. It includes variations marked by different physical traits. Not unlike species elephant, which include/included pygmy elephants, African elephants, Asian elephants and so forth marked by varying physical traits. Environmental stimuli forces physical traits upon a species, we call it adaption. If I recall right, rats, chimpanzees, and humans are the only species that engage in organized intra-warfare with justifiable cause. Justifiable cause involves limited food, limited space, or other survive related pressures. However, humans began instead to be motivated by exploitation and outright greed. In humans this leads to hatreds and artificially justifying of hate. Which creates behaviors that end up being self-fulfilling prophesies, thus a loop for the hate and hating behaviors to perpetuate by both the haters and hated, who become haters themselves. Eventually, the attitude and behavior gets politicized. Which is an exercise in downright stupidity by all parties. I would suggest you become familiar with something called the process of social equilibrium. Most sources gloss over the concept but there actually is a list to show the relationship and process between the oppressor and oppressed, whether inter-tribal or across social stratas.

"Dear Butch Jones Tommy Thigpen and Martinez. I don't care if you tell recruits I'm not welcomed or I've been banned from UT. Let's air the laundry out. I have been cleared by the NCAA of any wrongdoing. Let's tell theae recruits the truth you fear me. This goes back to 2011 when NO Memphis kids wanted to go to UT and it's my fault. Yes I hate UT, but wouldn't tell a kid where to or not to go. The kids can see for themselves of your track record. Martinez has been run out of Georgia Oklahoma State and Auburn now you think he can win at UT NO! You should have kept Coach Dooley at least he didn't cheat and lie to the kids. So when you want to bash someone you might want to realize I have friends around the country that listen to me and no I have norhing good to say about that place in Knoxville. Look at how many Afro American kids have signed with UT that have been dismissed. All are not bad, but the culture in Knoxville isn't good for a Afro American ? with Jayson Swain and 3 others."

Somebody needs to go on the youtubes & do a dramatic reading of this! Please somebody do this!

Too much gobbligook. We don't live in that we are all one species world. We're human beings with free will. That's means you're going to have cultures and subcultures and within those groups there's going to be problems. The civil rights movement was necessary due to the climate of that time. Laws had to be changed so that we could be inclusive. Its not black and white like back in the day but we are still going through growing pains as a society. We are multi cultural now and that's hard for some to accept. I know blacks that are racist towards Hispanics but have white friends. That blows my mind. Anyway I stand by the claim that there is nothing wrong with White pride, Black pride, Mexican pride. That's not the problem. The problem is those individuals that corrupt in that group and get others to follow suit and think like them. Its ok to be proud of your particular race. There are those that study this for a living and say the same. Race, ethnicity, culture is a beautiful thing man. (puff puff pass fool)

Bravo my friend. That was elegant, riveting it showed D'Vinner with a certain pinache. The tone and reflection when you said Afro American brought tears to my eyes. Loved it. How do record one?

Do you know specifically why his site is down? Have there been other people contacting his sponsors. It would seem that running a 7on7 in TN those same sponsors are probably UT grads and to hear him steer kids away borderlines on r$tarded.

No, I don't know for sure. But I do know when he hurled his accusations at Volquest and Hubbs for using the website to pay recruits is where this mushroomed for him. Quite a few VQ posters took the initiative to contact those sponsers regarding Twinkie tits. Who knows what they said. But you got to read 2 of the responses from a couple of companies listed on his website. I was going to copy and paste more, but the thread was deleted on the Rivals main board. The thread was very reminiscent of his exchange on VN last year but times 10. I think Byron realizes his 15 minutes is about up and this was his last attempt at being relevant.

He gets a new freckle if he would do it.

I would rather listen to Kenny or Boomhauer reading it.

Why do you feel compelled to have devoted enough time to learn little details about a guy whose "15 minutes are almost up"?
Click to expand...


This guy has been tied into several NCAA investigations; he obviously has someone that listens to him although never seems to get caught himself.

If he starts throwing ish our way it could be trouble given our recent run ins.

FWIW - he was on 3HL last summer about this time and gave a lot of information about what was happening at Miss State. The guy is a weasel and a rat - says that he is the only way to source talent from Memphis - what a joke.

I was around during that time and was a product of that pride. That pride did not lead to hatred. I say this again. Its behavior that led towards the racism. The Black Panther Party although well intentioned was not black pride but had a belief that they were better than whites. The Klan felt that they were superior to blacks. I was taught under the King methodology that I was EQUAL to whites and to not discriminate. My father preached that in the pulpit on Sundays and at home.My best friends growing up were white and we would have done anything for each other. Yet I still had a sense of black pride that enabled me to learn to get along with everybody. Its about behavior. Can we move off this topic now. Can't we all just get along? Don't we all bleed Orange? D'Vinner Sucks!

Because I can. Besides what little details are you talking about? Public 2 day rant bashing UT fans, the coaches, the football team, the ex players, etc.?

I mean we are on a UT Internet message board where we discuss all things UT. And in this case, recent news about a guy the NCAA investigated hurling threats at our football program.

My suggestion is if you don't like it go back to the pub and talk about some emo crap that you deem important.
