I don’t think you get why they don’t play it anymore. It has nothing to do with “dixie”
I think it’s more of a “rape culture” thing. Or at least you have a stronger case for that. So get your microaggressions right.
They also don’t want “frick” chanted throughout the stadium.

The "fvck Auburn" version is relatively new.
Before everyone just sang the same ole "on beer" and "all night" version. Apparently that wasn't enough so they added in "against the wall" and "fvck".

Why do you think they had an African American in the video?

Because he's not just some random black guy he's a senior football player who has been posting on Twitter about playing Dixieland Delight for 3 years.

One of the many reasons college football is so great is due to stuff like this
Alabama-Dixieland Delight
LSU-Callin' Baton Rouge
West Virginia-Country Roads

Unpopular opinion but I think the song is dumb. It’s not even about Alabama. It’s about Tennessee.
And it’s redneck as hell, especially the long fiddle part that every stomps around for.

I understand. But you're completely nuts if you think the original impetus for playing this song had nothing to do with racism.

I know what impetus means, thanks.
I dont even remember when we started playing it. I'm not sure what a song about riding around drinking and kissing on a floozy has to do with racism except for the use of the word "Dixieland", which is used in reference to the young lady as a Dixieland Delight aka a Southern delight.
The word Dixie is used in the context of the general South. So, no, I don't really buy that.

Have an African American in the video? Racist.
Don’t have an African American in the video? Racist.
Isn’t it kind of racist that you just assume he’s a token?
I didn’t watch the video and don’t give a frick about the video.
What is racist about the song? The only thing I can see you pointing to is the fact that the word “Dixie” is in it. Which isn’t racist but even if I conceded that it was, you have zero case for racism being the reason they pulled the video.
“Dixie” will still be in the song even if the students clean it up (which they won’t because that’s the whole reason the song is popular). So let’s look at the parts of the chants they no longer want interjected into the song (in bold).
Spend my dollar (On beer)
Parked in a holler 'neath the mountain moonlight (Roll Tide)
Holdin' her up tight (Against the wall)
Make a little lovin' (All night)
A little turtle dovin' on a Mason Dixon night (frick Auburn)
It's my life (And LSU)
Oh so right(And Tennessee too)
My dixieland delight
So what is racist about the bolded chants they are wishing to remove from the song?

Token black guy that has been openly and publicly begging the University to play a supposedly racist song.

Change "depressed" to "a wealthy 44-year-old man with a big truck and a hot MILFy wife" and you got me nailed.
