re: Reggie Jackson said Bear Bryant once called him a "n..... boy"

I wonder if the word was used more in the 1960s or today. I would guess it used more today.

This is easy. It's today. Rap didn't exist in the 1960s.

uhh...White folks are what 60% of the population...they were using the word a ton in private and public, and black folks still used it amongst themselves...it was said far more in the 60's

especially the rural South

Here’s where people go wrong with this. White people especially poor white people who grew up in rural areas were around black people their whole lives. It’s the people who lived in the cities who were more segregated and interacted with black people rarely. People like Bryant and Pat Dye were around black people from the time they were little children. This idea that rural areas were more segregated isn’t based in any fact. Atlanta and Birmingham were far more segregated than the rural areas of Georgia or Alabama.

Of course he said it. He was racist as hell.

The weird colored states voted for a segregationist.

Populist, not segregationist

Reggie understood that Bear wasn’t trying to be offensive. Things were different back then. I saw a black kid outside the fence of the city pool looking in at all of us swimming because he wasn’t allowed in there and never thought a thing about it. Does that make me a demon?

The idiot that wrote this article on.al.com thrives on racist rant articles to drum up his readership. Roy S. Johnson, a black racist. I highly doubt the Bear said that
