I have been watching a special on A & E about the KKK & racism in the south. I have to say that I am humiliated by these people that designated Alabama a "white state" and all gays, jews, and blacks should go elsewhere. I have lived in Alabama all my life and I just want to let people who have never been here know that not everyone feel this way. In fact, I personally have never seen any racist acts in person here. Therefore, I strongly believe that news broadcasts and such pick out the worst in Alabama and televise it. I couldn't tell you how many times I was humiliated by someone representing AL on the news talking about hurricane Katrina and thier trailor blowing away all the while having no teeth, holding a cigarette, 9 mos. pregnant, and talking in the most southern accent I have ever heard in my life. Bottom line: there are plenty of happy African Americans in Alabama, and we are not all rednecks. Just because we love hunting & football, does not make us stupid. Anyone agree???
