He drank, he cussed (sounds like a lot of plosters I know) & he was with the times as far a segregation went.... But when the racial barrier came down, you can ask any black man that played football at Alabama under Bryant. They will tell you the Bear Bryant was like the Daddy they never had.

As far as wife beating.... Never happened.

Now troll along, nothing to see here.

False. Bear Bryant was nothing close to racist.

Much respect for the man. I think I even teared up when his death was announced.

For years, Bryant was accused of racism for refusing to recruit black players, but he merely said that the prevailing social climate did not let him do this. He finally was able to convince the administration to allow him to do so after scheduling the Tide's 1970 season opener against a strong University of Southern California team led by black fullback Sam Cunningham. Cunningham rushed for 150 yards and three touchdowns in a 42–21 victory against the overmatched Tide. After that season, Bryant was able to recruit Wilbur Jackson as Alabama's first black scholarship player, and junior-college transfer John Mitchell became the first black man to play for Alabama. By 1973, one-third of the team's starters were black.

Helps if you know the reasons, basically it wasn't his doing but the 'Bama admin and the state's population (i.e. fans) attitude as whole towards blacks.

Ahh ok, I was wondering what was up with that tweet from Brantley saying "Corch Muschump has a stink fist."
