It well known in the black community that Auburn is the worst school to attend for a non athlete.
Out of all public schools in the SEC they probably have the lowest percentage of Black students. I not sure now since Mizzou and A&M joined.
They also graduate less than half 50% of the Black players on the football team as opposed to close to 100% of white players.

I don't pretend to know what happened in this situation with the AU players, but bringing up The University of Alabama's past isn't going to do any good. UA has owned up to its past transgressions, and continues to do so in trying to make amends.
The Machine would like to make a point of order in objection to your premise.

do you have facts to back this up?

I would guess Ole Miss, but I'm not sure.

Henry M. Carter, of Atlanta, says his daughter Shanice Carter, 20, and his son Kenya Carter, 22, were called N-word and his daughter was called a "bitch" by two members of the Auburn University football team, while at a McDonalds in Auburn on early Saturday morning.
I'm sure these two fine people never said anything to the players.......

Why do black people hate white people and refuse to go to school with them?

That's proof positive of something, but it has nothing to do with the football team.

The Machine also blocks anyone not like them. Not just color. Regardless, I was making a point about Foster Auditorium (the image posted in this thread) and what UA has done with the site to commemorate what occurred there. Or the memorial for slaves that were housed on the UA campus before the Civil War.

Seems like a legit source
The source might not be impressive but the actual audio of the interviews with the father, son, and daughter is linked at the bottom of the page. Granted, it's just one side of the story, but there is no question as to what they claim happened based on the audio. Until AUPD or the players choose to repsond, that is the only side of the story that is available.

I see you compared something that happened over 40 years ago to something that happened less than 40 DAYS ago.....

Niether the players nor the APD will say anything.

Don't act like you've never said it

I think the Red Bulldog Club is behind this. They sent these Georgians to get evidence of racism so that they can use it in the recruiting of Adams, Foster, Matthews, and Lawson. Pretty slick move. Just kidding!

Auburn should construct a commemorative memorial to amend this issue.

Very cool... carry on then.
I was just getting my ultra-defensive Auburn snark on.

LOL
That is such a BS way to illustrate black opportunity at Auburn. I promise you that the white players are not afforded any services/guidance beyond what is universally offered to all players.

And one of your players tried to run over another UAT student because he dropped the "N" bomb.

Well let's see... one father on an internet radio compares to this...
---------
Recent flaps over racially offensive language at the University of Alabama fit a pattern that’s dogged the state’s flagship school since it was integrated: Missteps along the path to greater diversity and inclusion often make more of an impression than positive strides do.
Months after the university unveiled a plaza and clock tower named for its earliest black students, the campus was swamped within the last two weeks with unwelcome attention after a white student was disciplined for yelling racial slurs at a black student. Days after that incident, more racial slurs were written on a campus sidewalk in chalk.
But it’s student foibles that garner the national headlines, such as when a parade of white students in Confederate uniforms stopped in front of a black sorority house in 2009 and angered alumnae gathered for a party.
Most galling to some is the fact that Alabama’s Greek-letter social organizations remain segregated almost entirely by race, not by rule but by preference.

These are RECENT...

I fail to see where a 3 yr old incident in Tuscaloosa has any bearing on what an Au player was accused of uttering a racist epithet in the last month or so.
