My hat is off to those yesterday who said this didn't sound "right"........especially the person who claimed that "men" in Alabama didn't drive cars......lol.......
That was a lively thread! Sure made my afternoon at the office. I live in Alabama and can attest to the fact that there are pockets of racsism. But I don't think it is necessarily more prevalent here than other places and I am convinced that racism works both ways. Jesse Jackson and his ilk have contributed to widening the gap between races - I mean - look at all the names the black population has had to describe their race - negro, black, african-american - to name a few. It seems it would so much simpler to call everyone Americans.
Bump to that.
I have lived in West Georgia most of my life, not but 25 miles or so from the Alabama border.(Fireworks!)
Whilst I'll agree that there are some country folks in Alabama, I also know that more than once the person who stopped to offer help to me stranded on the interstate had Alabama plates on their car.
