So, should we expect to see bama players refuse to play until their President is gone before or after the Iron Bowl? Oh who am I kidding, money is louder than any racist slurs.

I suggest editing your title.

I suggest editing your title.
Yeah, because if not, Godfather will have to step down as President soon.

This hunger strike sucks. I want a cheeseburger.

Not!!! This was the biggest piece of crap I've seen since....oh, the Mizzou protests.

It's not my title. It's a direct quote.

I swear, if you don't stop stealing my material, somebody is going to get they ass whooped. Or, at least sued. Definitely threatened in a stern voice, if nothing else.

Let's identify it as such. I put some quotation marks around it.

Some of you guys need to read the Clay Travis articles...

My response to this video is So, what? What do you want? Fire all the white people working there? Not let any white kids be there? All I ever hear "I go to school where I know people look at me and judge me" and stuff like that but I never hear a proposal for alternative. So what do you want?

According to this, segregation is what they want. Black only healing space. Got it. :thumsup:

Back when I was attending school on teh Planes, I whipped into the Sonics one night and apparently cut someone off. These 3 guys in a truck pulled up behind me and threatened to beat my ass to a soda water finish. Called me names I hadn't heard before. I felt lower than a snake in snowshoes.
Why didn't I think to stage a protest? The AU President should have been fired, no doubt.

Alabama president to meet with SGA president about diversity and equity on campus
http://www.al.com/news/index.ssf/2015/11/alabama_missouri_football_pres.html#incart_river_home (http://www.al.com/news/index.ssf/2015/11/alabama_missouri_football_pres.html#incart_river_home)
On Thursday, University of Alabama president Stuart R. Bell is scheduled to meet with Elliot Spillers, the school's student government association president, about diversity and equity on on campus, AL.com has learned.
"I guess we'll speak about how we can solve this issue together as a team," Spillers said.
Spillers said the meeting is partly in response to the student protests at Missouri, which gained national attention this week. A graduate of Pelham High School, Spillers is the first black SGA president at Alabama in nearly four decades.
"I think what we need at UA is an Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion," Spillers said. "UAB has one, UAH has one, LSU has one. Every school in the SEC has one except us, and while that does not solve all of our problems, it will give us a firm foundation to build upon for the next five, 10, 20 years down the line.
"We can analyze those pieces of our past that have kept us divided for the last few decades, and honestly take them out of our community."
Spillers told AL.com that he would like to address concerns of institional racsism at Alabama to prevent something from happening at UA similar to the student protests at Missouri.

Next thing you know, they'll all want separate water fountains and schools.

You got white privilege and probably deserved it.

The only way for true equality at Mizzo (or anywhere) is to disband any group that is using color to identify themselves. AA students for betterment, gone. Hispanic students for tougher standards, gone. Asian students for lower math scores, gone. White students for (wait there are none of those)

I think one of them was Asian.

I've been called a lot of names by guys in pick up trucks. But when they yell "Row Ti, nagger", then WT commences to kicking that ass. That's a line that I won't let them cross. I do not nag, very much.

#ConcernedStudent1950 should form a human barrier around the gates and protest the white oppression.

Finally watching the video. Thoughts:
:24 - It's difficult walking through campus knowing that people ignore the complexity of your identity, and this is a problem? Does this guy (I presume this is Bennett) acknowledge the complexity of others' identity as he walks through campus? How does he do this?
:43 - Males in fraternities are driving through campus yelling the "n" word? No one has recorded this. Does this happen often? Which fraternities? How does he know that these are in fact fraternity members saying this? How does he know they are students? Someone wrote F-A-G on a wall? Where? When? Are we lumping homosexuals in with the racial issue?
:52 - It's in those horrible moments that you think, "At least they saw me!" What in the hell is this supposed to mean?
1:32 - Okay. An analysis of how black bodies are depicted in media. I understand this, but I'm not sure how this connects to the introduction. I'm not sure how this is going to connect to current institutional racism on campus.
1:35 - Yeah, it's pretty fucked up that a school would keep the building names of white supremacists and slave owners when the student body features black students. Okay, point one to the video.
1:48 - White students were kicking down the doors of black students after Obama was elected? In Tuscaloosa? Link?
2:05 - I'm no fan of the Confederate flag, but I don't agree that wanting to celebrate southern heritage is equal to an un-uttered form of the "n" word.
2:10 - Hey whaddya know, another black president has been elected in a white dominated community, but the black student is invisible and the whole institution is racist against blacks. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
2:54 - And whaddya know again, another claim of apparent racism (the frat guys didn't look at me correctly) that can't be substantiated.
3:10 - Who asked him that question? He's ELECTED.
What a shit video. Filled with unsubstantiated claims, fallacious reasoning, and emotional rhetoric. It's not that I'm denying that this is an issue at UA. Could be. I don't know. I'm not there. Just like Missouri. Black people could be tortured for all I know. But what I do see is a lack of evidence for these systemic problems that are preventing them from having a good experience at college that prepares them for success in life. Are they able to learn? Can they make the grades? Do professors support them? Do they have peer and social groups? Are they allowed to go to every school-sponsored event? What exactly is the problem? Why can't the SGA president give a concrete, substantiated piece of evidence to show that this is widespread problem that needs current attention?
But as K implied, at least it damages Tuscaloosa's reputation.

Welcome to liberal bias news. (Its only going to get worst)
Prolly not this season but next season I bet they have to cancel a game because some team will stand up for something and refuse to play. It will be found out later that there was no reason for their protest and they will have forfeited the game, which they will claim as racist.
