Breh I have been down here for like a few years and the racism is a bit casual and knee slap, versus Georgia's abrasive Onyx bald head aggression, and South Carolina's capitalistic fukk them "nikkas" but if they got the money they can fukk my wife racism.
It's a more "bless your heart" stigma, versus foot on neck cactastic type of demeanor.
Pleasantly surprised by such ordeals as it was embedded in my head that Alabama was demonically racist due to its past history.
Yeah, while the racism here is notable, cacs will at least smile in your face down here, I feel like if I went somewhere like New England, I’d get mean mugged all the time up there
. Most white folks here are like “if you don’t mess with me I won’t mess with you” types.
It also helps that it’s a lot of black people that live in Alabama so you’re more than likely gonna be around other black folks most of the time, particularly in places like the big cities and the black belt area. Now if you black and going somewhere like Cullman? Good luck, that’s one of them sundown type towns.
