With all due respect Mr. Jackson, that guy was not your friend. No friend would ever use such a word. All respect to Mr. October.

Just another Alabama hero! Bear Bryant folks…as long as Blacks were running his ball, making him comfortable and reassuring him he was in charge he could tolerate us!

Wow! Reggie Jackson is telling the HARD truth about his experiences. This type of racism happened/happens all the time, especially in Alabama. I am just glad Reggie Jackson doesn't mind having these "uncomfortable" conversations out loud. It needs to be heard! 👏👏

The fact that he’s clearly naming names places n dates is key to the facts of his experience.

Bear Bryant saw nothing wrong with saying what he said that is really a huge part of the problem

Why are we surprised? There’s a person you work with at your job right now that says the same type of things about you. This is America.

I'm a 75 year old Black man and didn't have to wait 50 years to know that Bear Bryant was a racist. He just had that look about him.

To believe that someone is less than you based on race and color is ignorant.

This is how America was during those times. Especially in the South, this is why they did not want Blacks in any sport because if they did let them play they would be dominated and they did not want to compete with that.
