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.

I'm aware that it exists everywhere. For it to continue to be acceptable behavior in a big way within the Greek Fraternity System at Alabama is horrible. This is condoned from the top leadership at the University of Alabama and other Deep South Schools and that is why it exists. It needs to be cleaned up and thrown out with the trash. When I looked at the "Brothers Picture" it was sad but laughable. These college frats from Alabama's Delta Tau Delta think excluding Blacks from their fraternity is completely okay because they know they have past fraternity members in all areas of leadership at the University of Alabama and businesses all over Alabama including Big Alum money. I'm sure Alabama is doing all they can to sweep this under the rug as quickly as possible.

Yeeeeeah, racism is so bad here in the south, which is why we have the largest portion of the black population in the country. Nice try Bill Maher
