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? From looking at the pictures of the fraternity where the 2 frat boys called Rolando McClain the "N" word it looks like it may be a big problem. Incident Article Frat House Website There is still a lot of racism in the Deep South(Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, South Carolina) and I wonder how often it raises its head on Campus at Alabama. Anyone know? I cannot believe this stuff still happens.

Did you just move to the deep south? I graduated from Bama at the end of '05. The amount of racial tension in that state is pathetic and I have experienced it on both sides. I have lived in Louisiana too and it's really not much different. The frat system at Bama is still segregated too, isn't that kinda sad?

I live in Houston now and you can totally tell the difference. I work for a company based in Birmingham and you should hear some of the stuff I've heard from EDUCATED people after Obama won.

If you think this is just at UA or in the state of AL, you should get out more.

This reminds me of the typical frat douce with a confederate flag license plate on the front of the Chevy Z-71 blaring a rap song with the windows rolled down....

Here's the deal in the South:
If they play for your rival,
they are N*****. If they play
for your team, they are Black.
Sad, but true with a lot of
people in the South.

Yeah, I bet it occurs on a daily basis.

Depends on what you think "racism" is.

It's a great thing that poor black football players in the South have a White Knight like you to defend them against evil frat boys. Jesus effin' Christ. White and black cultures are still different in some places, there's still friction between them, sometimes people get fed up and call each other names, and sometimes stupid college kids cross a line they shouldn't cross.

This is not news. No side is good or evil here. They're just different. Live with it.

LSU students/fans are waaaaaaay more racist than people at Bama. I love how LSU fans try to make other schools look more racist.
