Alabama and Racism

[Cash]

As a white boy growing up on NW 189th Street in Carol City in the 1970s, I had friends who were African-American, ******, and Ecuadorian and understoood that America was a melting pot. I loved Miami. It was paradise. As an adult in a Trump America I see how far we have to go. I know the Republican loving Cubans will bash me and that is understandable, but Alabama bothers me the most. I see these tie-wearing, white shirt donning, racist from the worst state in the union cheering on their "boys" and claiming superiority above the rest of America. 99% of the fans wouldn't be caught dead at a party with the players from their Crimson Tide team, yet they cheer them on like they are at a **** fight. Maybe I am being over-dramatic, but it is kinda strange that the most racist state in America relishes the fact that their 'boys' rule the world of college football. I hope the kids from the 305/954/561 can see past this hypocrisy and return the U to the glory of the past.

Your statement is prejudicial in its own right.

I'm as independent as they come but what's become clear this election cycle is that Libs can stereotype whoever they want and think nothing of it.

What do you mean they can stereotype whoever they want? Like Bannon?

They call any black republican an Uncle Tom.

If bannon is racist then so are the Clintons, Hillary did call blacks super predators in the 90s

I thought this was a message board for the Canes?

What does Bannon have to do with it? Isn't a bigot a bigot? Not to libs who try to squash any other opinion other than their own and then spew bullsh!t like the opee's comments. You're as much of a problem as the white supremacists if you justify BS generalizations because someone hurt your snowflake feelings.

Not only that but OP paints soFla in the 70s (and I am assuming prior decade) as some sort of harmonious and diverse community.....that's not what I was told by many of the blacks I knew who grew up down there during that time. OP must have been raised in a bubble....lol

I grew up there in the 70's and 80's and while my predominantly ****** area was unscathed, truthfully, I grew up in a bubble. There were major police brutality issues we couldn't imagine going back to the Arthur McDuffie killing. The same bad shît goes on today all over the country.

Let's be real. Not every person in Alabama is a racist, but a lot of those ****ers are racist. Let's stop with this bull**** and call a spade a spade.

 

[mirednmediocrity2]

OP i get what u sayin bruj of course most people here gone dismiss cause its no such thing as racism & opression to them but as far as recruits they treated like gods in Bama

No one dismisses racism. Read what he said, he labeled all of Alabama racist and claimed all Cubans are republican. and being republican is terrible why? Diversity is cool unless its intellectual diversity, noted.

The most racist people I've ever met are from the Midwest. Even Mississippi and Alabama are not as bad as southern Ohio and Wisconsin.

Lol, another guy who thinks he understands why the majority of Cubans are republicans....while basically stereotyping everybody who lives in Bama as a racist

You know these PWI set a lot of these very heralded and regarded black athletes with white women. They do it for a reason. Btw I don't give a **** who you ****. You are crazy or naive if you don't think the PWI set these players up with white women as a way to try and control them. IMO when a black athlete leaves their neighborhood, I know they are not all poor, and hit it big . . . they are less likely to return to their community and invest to make it better when attached to a white woman.

So here it is:

Black posters who have lived in an urban setting will agree with me.
White posters that value social justice will agree with me.
The uninformed will think Im nuts.
Those that think the poor are poor because they are too lazy to do anything will think Im nuts.

Im white. I teach in an inner city school because I believe for too many kids in the area I work, their teachers are their best hope to move upwards socially.

Ok. I see what point you are making. A bigot is a bigot. OP went too far calling an entire state racist. Got it.

I have a good friend from Alabama and she is far from a racist. That said, I'm an independent and I don't like Trump. I have personally witnessed people exercising their pent up white rage in a racist fashion, emboldened by this election. It's real out there dude.

Funny stuff. It can swing to the ridiculous for sure. I just understand what OP is saying.

I guess you could say the same for BLM, no? Look, I'm not the guy who's going to be taking sides with rednecks or say that they don't exist but ignorance lies on both ends of the spectrum. Trump may have got some white people all fired up with "white rage" but there were also white people like me who got sick of being called racists becasue we don't fall in line with the liberal agenda and agree with some of his platforms. So again, just because you witnessed it in your bubble, I witnessed a bunch of white people thinking, "i'm not ******* racist, angry or xenophobic." But I sure was labeled one.
FWIW, I live in NY.

I don't like her either. She's full of shît.

FWIW, I've never believed that it was fair to label someone a racist strictly because they don't support Obama or anti-woman strictly because they didn't vote for Clinton. There are people like that but there are a good many people who simply disagree with their agendas and it's as simple as that.

People are too quick to label folks. Having said that, some people deserve the label they get. You can't, for example, denigrate an entire nationality (Mexicans) and expect that folks won't think you're a racist.

I was checking out Jerry Jeudy's Twitter last night and I saw where fans from different schools were pleading their cases to him to convince him to play for their schools and some Bama dude told Jeudy to go to Bama because "the people love you there, Jerry." Jeudy responded: "They don't love me, they just love my future."

These kids see what it is and taking what [MENTION=14457]Liberty City El[/MENTION] said, in essence, that racist angle won't work any more than the we love you angle will. They'll do what's best for them.

At least JJ is smart about it he knows. I bet he feels like *** it ill use them too

I really would love this kid to be a cane just to send bama a msg two years in a row. The best player u want from sfla u cant have

The most racist people I've ever encountered were UM students from the northeast. In Alabama, blacks and whites work together and actually get along. Quit acting like it's the 1800's.

I'll believe that when I see a black governor of Alabama and two black US senators representing Alabama in DC.
