I guess by that logic
Peter Gabriel should not have spent the better part of his solo singing career referring to South Africa as a nation that had racism enshrined into its constitution. He said that just about everytime when he was going to sing his hit song "Biko". He didn't live there, and Steven Biko, the man who the song was writen to honor, no longer does either. So what does some washed up former
Genesis lead singer know about South Africa or how their laws should be writen?
Really?
You are comparing today's Alabama to apartheid era South Africa?
Heck, why didn't you just admit to being a
TROLL instead of posting that rambling bit of nonsense?
You're argument is the same as last time, "Alabama has a history of being racist, so all the government (and probably the residents, too) are a bunch of bigots. Who cares if it all happened
half a century ago, nothing changes with these back woods neanderthals."
It just proves that you probably never even been to the state, much less spent any time here.
Get over yourself, O Clueless One. You've been watching too much television and film. The stereotypical uncouth, ignorant, uneducated, bigoted Southerner is concoction that goes back centuries. New England newspapers that were controlled by initially the shipping and later manufacturing interests of the region have been portraying Southerners in such a manner since before the American Revolution- heck, since before the French and Indian Wars. It just proves that if you say a lie long enough, it becomes accepted as fact by people that don't know any better.
You see, I lived here in Alabama pretty much my whole life. In addition, I HAVE spent a good deal of time in SC for business, too. Not just in the big cities like Columbia and Charleston or the tourist traps like Myrtle Beach but out in the little podunk towns and wide spots in the road that make towns Aiken and Orangeburg look down right cosmopolitan.
You know what I found so surprising? They were just like the little podunk towns I grew up in and around here in Alabama. You could pick up a town in either state and put it down in the other and you wouldn't be able to tell it had happened except for the differences in BBQ sauce preferences.
You know what that tells me? Your repeated rabid attacks on Alabama are also a condemnation of your own home state. If your beloved SC has grown past what happened 50 years ago and even farther back in history, then why do you think that here in Alabama things haven't changed also?
