OH MY.

From SBB:

FWIW: we think you could hear this sentiment in any number of other SEC tailgates.

Is this video supposed to be a surprise to anyone who has ever been to any tailgate at ANY SEC school? I thought the video was rather tame

Seriously? This crap actually happens? I thought it was just an immature running joke by fans of other conferences.

Give us southerners credit, at least we’re overt with our racism. There’s no guesswork involved. And yes, I’ve cringed while listening to similar conversations in Athens.

To clarify, its not something that happens most tailgates, but you probably don’t have to look very hard to find doche’s like these. Its one of those things where they talk like this only after they’ve look around to make sure no black people are in the vicinity

AJY says:

Glad someone else thought that this wasn’t TOO out of the ordinary. As sad as that is to say, growing up in the south, you can find this attitude in a varying number of places, not just tailgates. I am not saying I advocate it, but it exists. I thought this was a little mild, especially after the warning I was given over on Deadspin. The north must be a happier place.

Stacy Keibler Luvs Me says:

Huh? Dept;

How can those SEC rednecks hate the Black man so much in one instance, and once they get inside the stadium cheer and cry louder than anyone else in favor of the Black men playing for their team? Contradiction?!

Out here on the West Coast, racism is more subtle, which is probably worse than the overt racism of the South.

Me: I make fun of everyone!

Rival says:

It’s not usually displayed in this manner because there usually aren’t people with video cameras asking these types of questions.

I’m sure the questioner has a certain objective here.

DISCLAIMER: I am white and consider myself as more liberal than my metro Atlanta peers.

However, having dealt with housing issues in several communities I do agree with one of the sentiments expressed by one of the individuals (the guy who did most of the talking at the beginning).

People do get accustomed to living in certain surroundings no matter how atrocious they might become. People who live in “transitional” housing or public assistance housing for any length of time will begin to identify that area as their neighborhood. People fearing change would rather stay where they are familiar. I’m sure some members of the populace are just fine with where they live because it offers a market for certain illegal activity, but that can happen anywhere.

Anywho, I’ve seen 80 year old ladies who refuse to even join the discussion about moving (temporarily) while housing conditions are improved because it’s “their” neighborhood. I’ve seen families refuse to cooperate with CDBG projects that would give them funds to fix up their own house because they feared the government was coming in to check on other things.

And maybe those feelings are somewhat justified given history.

So the N-word guy was blatantly racist, but I wouldn’t condemn all the others for expressing their disapproval of life in the projects.

And I just opened up a can of worms….

Herbie's Raging Hardon says:

This is the exact reason I cannot stand the south. As an OSU fan, I had (for the most part) a good time down in New Orleans, however I saw so much shit like this going on and could not believe how absurd the entire situation was.

OSU and OSU fans often get portrayed as a bunch of uneducated drunken rednecks (especially by UM fans), but we have nothing on anyone from the SEC.

I agree very strongly with #15 above, how can these people have so much hate for black people outside the stadium but then support them so strongly inside the stadium? It really doesn’t make sense to me…..

Come on now, we have established precedents about the way we handle these things.

Notre Dame fans are branded as child molesters.

tOSU fans get jokes about libraries and porn.

These guys now represent LSU.

MST3K says:

The only reason you don’t see this more up northeast is a near-total disregard for college football there; replace the tailgate with a local bar though. . . . Now, I don’t know about the Midwest, but it’s a mistake to think this is a Southern problem. Imagine those guys with Southie accents, or Jersey accents, the scenario is equally plausible.

And I don’t say that as an excuse. Rather, we do ourselves and our society a disservice by pretending that the problem is regional.

Biggus Rickus says:

Herbie,

I’ve met OSU people who were every bit as racist as these dudes. As to the seeming paradox of hating black people and rooting for black people, it’s basically that racists in the south tend to dislike black people as a group but not on an individual basis (at least not simply because said individual is black).

Biggus Rickus says:

MST3K,

We also do ourselves a disservice by pretending racism only flows one way.

MightyMightyMitzu says:

Yeah, so a guy I graduated with goes to school in Flint, Michigan and says the white kids up there call the black kids “Mondays” because noone likes Mondays. Vaguely hiding your racism doesn’t make it any tamer than the South’s.

Inferior Race Question Dept:

When I talk to people and they start complaining about how bad African Americans are (low test scores, low income, jail population numbers, death rates…) I ask them a simple question;

Are African Americans inferior to Whites and other races? The answer is always “No”.

Then I ask them what has contributed to African Americans having, as a whole, those statistics. The answers then come back as being from poor families, or single parent households, poor infrastructure (schools, housing, parks, blah, blah, blah).

So, people born on second or third base should feel fortunate that they started there in life, as opposed to other people that started out not even in the game to begin with…..

…enough of this stuff….too heavy……

…where are the pictures of the women with big shiny butts?

NOLA man says:

The use of the “N” word by the one individual is deplorable, but otherwise the statements are an accurate commentary about a group of people that doesn’t want the city to pull itself up by the bootstraps. If you aren’t from NOLA, you have no appreciation for the subject matter or the context of the statements.

Rival says:

Right…’cause there are no racists out west. Can I ask your opinion on South American immigration patters?

Also, I have friends in Boston who regularly say they are “glad there aren’t as many black people up here as in Atlanta”. I don’t know if that’s demographically true, but they say it.

Anyway, racism sucks. But, in my opinion, there are specific arguments about the actions of certain groups that are fair game. Though most of the LSU group in the video seems to prefer the former.

The Dude, Man says:

A couple of things. As a white male who grew up in the fine state of Alabama, this video was tame. The main speaker didn’t say anything that i haven’t hear about a million times from almost anybody, even the more cosmopolitan types with money. Is it sad, i don’t know, that’s the way it is.

They can hate outside the stadium the same way it probably happened during roman times when gladiators fought in the coliseum. Winning is colorblind.

And please don’t act like the south is the only place where this “racism” exists. A joke told to me by some college age Germans shows the rest of the world hates other countries and ethnicities in much the same way. ” What do you call a Swede on a bike? A thief.” For those not college educated the funny part of the joke is that the swede stole the bike he is riding.

@19. Columbus, OH bastion of racial harmony, I’m sure. There are frickin idiots of every race and creed all across this great nation.

To claim some sort of regional superiority is self-stroking, ignorant, and naive. Something a self-proclaimed OSU fan should know a lot about.

Brian says:

Honestly some of the points that one guy was making seemed somewhat valid — not knowing anything about any of this. I wasn’t clear as to the woman who was filming’s purpose. If she paid so much in taxes as she claimed, then why would she want to be footing the bill for housing projects and the like?

Yea anyway, keep the political garbage off EDSBS.

AULIVESNFTWORTH,

What was funny about the video? A drunk dude shouting “Niggaz, get a job!” and the like? Yes, the link you posted was rational and some of the points the main guy was making were valid. That doesn’t make many of the statements made by his friends and himself any less racist.

Is that seriously your response?

Quick homework lesson for you: go pick up an Economics textbook and learn about “negative externalities”. Then get a History book and read about pre-revolutionary France. Then put two & two together and be glad we have social programs in place that might prevent an armed uprising by people who live in the slums & shadows. They ain’t all criminals, you know.

Then grab a Bible…
