Stop perpetuating stereotypes of the good folk in Alabama.
I didn’t say anything about racism being confined to Alabama, but as I recall, it was a state in the Confederacy with a long history of this kind of crap. [Reply]
Dude, I am a rioter. I am an Antifa member. I am a communist. I am rooting hard for a depression and can't wait for a stock market crash because it will make Trump look bad. Hell, I'm every shitty thing (T) think of (D)'s are. I am every shitty thing our extremists are. I am stupid. I do not have a job and when I actually do have one it's at McDonalds. I've worked there as a fry cook over and over and over with no drive to be more. I live in my mothers basement. I knock off gas stations all the damned time. I am a gay evil scumbag soyboy marxist globalist beta male elitist. I cry over every little thing. My only ambition is to gain power by what ever means necessary and those means are usually evil and I should kill myself because I am.
I'll let the (T)'s fill in the rest because there is a 100% I have missed many traits.
But while we wait for that, reconsider your outrage over generalizing. [Reply]

I think all "stereotypes" have a "reason" behind them. But I'll bet you won't be accepting of your own comment there when the "reason" doesn't fit your narrative and/or political agenda. [Reply]
I was married in to an Alabama family. The stereotypes were true inside that family. When my ex-wife and I would travel to see them I would make sure and play some early 90's rap as loud as I could pulling on to their property. They did not like that. [Reply]

I read his post and just thought... you realize what you just said right? :-) [Reply]

That's exactly what I thought. Sort of shows his mindset towards certain groups of people. [Reply]

It's just an outlier case anyway. Every state has these extreme cases of disgusting people. The good thing about 2020 are these people are singled out and their reputations are destroyed and they have a difficult time making a living.
Took a trip to Panama City for my HS Spring Break in March 2000. Drove from KC to FL, passing through Alabama, of course. The one thing about that trip I will never forget is stopping at a McDonalds off of I-65 somewhere in Alabama and walking into a place that looked like it was still straight out of the 60s. Lines for white folks and lines for black folks. And the people in there just went about their business like it was a normal as could be.

We go through Alabama when we travel back to Missouri by car. They think we are "one of them" and let their guard down.
75% of the time traveling through AL when we stop for food, gas, hotel etc. we have at least one incident of blatant racism said to us or to someone else. They don't care if we hear their comment. Because we are lily white we are viewed as one of them. TWICE they have said to us, "we would have been a lot better off if the South would have won". [Reply]

No it has to do with accessibility to that area. It is very restricted. Your bias and lack of critical thinking ability is showing.

Every area has a dark past if you look. Liberal utopia Los Angeles has an abhorrent history of racism. The Zoot Suit Riots just barely scratches the surface of its fine résumé.
The KKK is not small or tiny in size. Alabama should not be the first state a person thinks of when it comes to the KKK or vice versa. That should be Arkansas since the National Headquarters and Grand Poobah is located in Harrison Arkansas and has been for over 50 years.
