Oh, it’s based on history and fact. The Reconstruction Era was worse for Alabama than for other southern states, because it existed out of international commerce lanes. That’s why racism and the Klan held on so long there.

Yea, seeing how there is no racism in Boston, Philly, Chicago, L.A., Oakland, New York City, St. Louis etc etc.

It always amuses me when someone from a place that has, say 5% or less black population can lecture States with 25% or more black population on race relations. It’s real easy to get along with people you never interact with or even see.(North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Utah, Vermont, New Hampshire etc). Yep, look down your pointy little noses and tell us how we’re keeping the black man down.

So the KKK is still active here? Funny, I’ve lived here all my life and never even seen a pointy hat.

Here’s something to think about. If you are a white man at least half of the country thinks you are racist. Regardless of where you are from.

There is nothing “sad” about the good folks of Alabama loving college football. Football is our nation’s most popular sport. Your statements remind me of elitist northern liberals who look down on any who like sports as worthless rednecks.
