It's been discussed before...but why would any minority

[Consigliere]

If you dig, I'm sure you can find similar about just about any institution in the south aside from HBCU's. Every school was prejudiced/racist once upon a time (us included). Some fought harder to keep their racist ways, and some are far more overt and less receptive to change even today, but no matter where you go you will find some prejudiced and/or outright racist people. That includes the most liberal northeast colleges.

I understand why a kid plays there. He's following top coaching. This is 4-5 yrs of his life to put him on a path to make millions. Why not go where there is the greatest exposure.

As a black dude myself, I have no problem with a kid going to play there. **** if everyone had the, "They're racist so why bother" attitude, there would be no progress anywhere.

I understand what you are saying but things are different at different places. Just because every school has A racist person attending it or supporting the football team, there are differences among the schools.

I understand too that Bama has some of the best coaching.

My point is that things are not the same everywhere, there will never be a society that is perfect or balanced. So while there are degrees of racism (school X is more racist than school Y), I think it matters that one school is so openly bigoted as opposed to others. If I am an athlete, I would not want to play for these people that feel this way. The fact that schools are fighting to keep racist ways is enough to turn me off.

I ask this question in the barber shop every week. It's a **** shame.

I'm no Jesse Jackson, but **** I would love to see just 1 5* big time recruit come out and say. You know what "I was considering Alabama but after doing some research and finding out how racist the majority of the student body is, i decided not to attend an institution with that type of reputation".

I mean **** 13 mythical National titles on the sweat of blacks and whites alike and off the field they still cant get it right. And ppl thought Phillip Sims would get a fair shake there lol. Granted he SUCKS but he was never going to be given a chance anyways.

a big recruit said this about ole miss last year....cant remember his **** name. But yeah, Bama and Ole Miss are the two most racist, sexist, and bigoted schools in the country.

"SEGRAGATIA NOW, SEGRAGATIA TOMMORRAH, AND SEGREGATIA FOREVAH."

Who do you think runs the University System in Alabama? The state and local government? The police and DA? The children of those public racists. **** doesn't change in one generation. The American South is a bastion for racism (as are parts of the rest of the US as well).

In summary, **** Alabama.

I could have sworn that the tolerant, enlightened members of the NYPD just settled another profiling lawsuit for detaining a black man and accusing him of fraudulently using a credit card when he had done nothing wrong and they had no reason to suspect he had.

I find most of the people that claim Alabama is so bad have never been there.

Seriously, we're comparing NYC and Bama.

 

[SBAMACANE]

I live in Mobile, Al and it is still pretty racist. Bama fans are some of the worst, ever!! You can take that to the bank.

I live in NE Bammer - the more rural areas around here are certainly backwater and ignorant, but I've found that to be true of EVERY rural/isolated location (lived in North Dakota for a few years... if you want to see some racist, paranoid, xenophobic muthafukkers, there's your case study.) I think the accent just magnifies the level of dumbassery.

 

[TallyCaneFan]

Honestly, if recruits read this or the westendzone boards they'd get the impression that UM is the same way. Comments that can be construed as racist, prejudiced or whatever you want to call them are constantly being made, yet these same folks love their Canes football team and players - 80-90% are Black.

Phillip Sims didn't start because he wasn't good enough. The fans may be racist, but do you think Nick Saban gives a **** what color his players are? Get that nonsense out of here.

TRUUUUUUUUE

I would agree, I think this is everywhere. More rural, less change, more set in their ways.

 

[ARJB]

Y'all realize these kids get worshipped, right? I mean, the entire student body loves them. The whole town loves them. They may be racist, but they aren't racist towards their players. And lets not act like Miami fans aren't racist as **** either.

Very true. Nick Saban wants to win, and doesn't give a **** about color.

Been there. Been to most of the South. I think nearly 40 states actually. There is racism in every single state, every single city, every single town in America. Boston is pretty bad, IMO as a Northern example.

But anyone who says its not far, far worse in the South is lying. There is a facade of tolerance that's promoted, but you get a bunch of white people alone, god forbid they have a few beers in them... truth comes out. Not everyone, but a **** of a lot more than most everywhere else. I mean, there are members of this site that in their lifetimes, we're legally entitled to make a black person get up out of a seat on a bus. Use a different water fountain. Be banned from certain businesses based on color.

This is not 200 years ago! This is less than 50 years ago.

I would love it if they did this but this isn't happening. For the most part, kids don't care and/or know to look.

I agree.

No disrespect to those on the board, I would never intentionally go to Alabama. It is part of a bunch of places where I would never go in this country. But to say that all places are the same, is not fair because it is simply not true. No one is denying that racism doesn't occur in every city but to say NYC is even similar to Bama is insane.
