Is U of Alabama a culture shock for out of staters?

[LucieTheLakie]

And in the spirit of “keeping it real” here, I want to share the following article. I’m sure the responses will be all over the place, but this is “life on the ground” for many UA students:

Three students of color at the University of Alabama aren’t waiting for a professor or administrator to facilitate a conversation on race. They’re bringing the issue straight to their fellow students. Seniors Amanda Bennett, SGA President Elliot Spillers and A.J. James produced a brief video, directed by fellow student Patrick Maddox, highlighting the racism that they’ve experienced on campus.

I’ve seen a lot of very supportive posts on FB and some truly nasty ones as well. But this isn’t just UA, this is the U.S. of A. today, like it or not.
