You've demonstrated against black on white crime?

How do you know McClain received racial slurs thrown at him?

Don't you know, any time a black and white is involved in an incident, it's because of racism. White man holding the black man down. And it only happens in the south.

So, I checked. Yes they did...and they haven't had trouble scheduling parties or had any noticible negative reprocussions. Apparently guys are more excited about attempting to have sex with them than taking a bigoted stance...believe it or not.


Our economy is bad enough without you trying to discredit the race-baiting industry.

So calling out racism that does exist = race-baiting?

It's called "Hate" when the liberals want to call it "Hate."

Since you've demonstrated many times on Black-on-White crime, I'm sure you'll be able to rattle off 15-20 cases of a hate crime where the perp was black and the victim was white.

You're the one who have moved it off topic.
Goof ball.

Go back and read, the entire thread has been about race, across the south.

Okay, there have been a few attempts by Bama fans to get this thread off the SEC Rant for obvious reasons.

Part of this thread is wondering what the University of Alabama going to do about 2 frats who called Rolando McClain the "N" word then tried to beat the crap out of him which puts Mr. McClain's playing time in jeopardy. Should Black Bama football players be subject to racial taunts from campus frats? I say no, any behavior like this should result in a students immediate dismissal.

That is because an Alabama Frat from Delta Tau Delta called Rolando McClain a N****r. Uh, you don't think folks are going to talk about race? What's your point dude? Why don't you contribute to what the solution should be from keeping this from happening anymore at Bama instead of attacking the thread. So you think any football player from any SEC school should just ignore it and walk away? I don't think so. It needs to be cleaned up. Football is one of the best ways to bring everyone together as one team. Most fraternities do just the opposite. They are more about bringing people who like minded together. Football breeds much more successful leaders by the mere "Process" of successful team building as evident by this years Bama football team. Unfortunately this act of racism could undermine success the football team as worked all year to attain.

My point, is that there is a board to talk about race relations. Simple as that. And saying I'm part of a problem with race and that I should do this or that to make the situation better is ludicrous, since all I've asked is that this thread be moved to the correct forum. ESPECIALLY ON GAME DAY

I rememebr when Bama started three black basketball players and someone he;d up a sign re the NAACP tournament. At LSU in the mid and late 70's racist taunst occurred all the time. The stupid thing is that we never thought they were racist to years later.

Seriously

Well, let's look at this purported situation. Theoretically, Rolando beat up a guy who called him a name. Have we really devolved so much as a society that we're willing to forgive a violent act because of words that were said? If Rolando did do that, he lost composure.

I haven't read anything about this incident. Did the frat kids really call him the N word? Are they admitting this? Is there a corroborating witness? I would have hoped that we would be beyond this. Is there any chance the football player is using this as an excuse for the fight?
ETA: If they did use the N word they're some dumb arse dudes. You generally shouldn't start a fight with a LB on the football team.

Well, Rolo nearly hit some of the Deep Throat Daddies in his car, and they insulted him (probably not knowing who he was).

Rolo then gets out of the car, and more insults are exchanged, then Rolo beats some DTD arse.

DTD is already disliked by the rest of the Greek system, I doubt they could get pussy with a fistful of quarters in a nickel whorehouse.

NOLATide, go back and read my original post to start this thread. I'm asking questions not stating facts. How can a question be a flame. I'm also against and will always fight against any form of racism or hate toward another human just because they are different. Sounds like you are doing the flaming. Just contribute and stick to the facts if that is possible.

The questions you asked: “Is this a big problem from the student body at Bama? Do African American Players at Bama run into this a lot from the Frat system?”
I answered, with the facts as they relate to this incident, and to my own experience on campus at Alabama. Do you need to re-read my post? You are in fact flaming Ten Tex, when you started this post and took a singular incident in order to associate it with the larger problem of racism as being unique to the Deep South and with The University of Alabama in particular. What makes you think that this is only a problem at Alabama as opposed to LSU or anywhere else?

I named an issue with an LSU player that you did not even address. Here is another, how about when LSU tight end Nicky Savoie referred to multiple Michigan State black players as the N word during the Independence Bowl against a Saban coached Mich. State? This made major news and Saban himself commented on it. Should the white Savoie have been penalized? Does this give you concern about the LSU system that tolerates such behavior? Where is your sanctimony in regard to LSU’s actions?

My point is that you should take care who you accuse of the very things that those you support are guilty of themselves.

I knew a guy that was a Delt at Bama, he was a douche. Looks like he wasn't the only one.
