Is Alabama counting all black residents now or are they still doing that 3/5 thing.

3/5th wasn’t an Alabama thing.

Most blacks that move from other states will tell you they’re treated a lot better here.

You might try reading the U.S. Constitution to see if that will cure your terminal case of the dumbass.

You are too cool for school.

“That 3/5 thing” was at the insistence of non-slave states.

You have successfully, with no prompting whatsoever, proven yourself to be an idiot.

You misunderstand the purpose of the 3/5 compromise. It was demanded on the part of states with low slave populations so as to decrease the political power of those with higher slave populations by reducing their population counts. As such, Alabama would naturally have been opposed to it.
