Ok. There’s one white person on my list so far.

I need to Google to research more.

I was a big fan of SF Giants abs a general baseball fan as a kid, so it was easy to
know about the baseball players listed..

I’m sure there must be some good musicians from Alabama, not including “Alabama” and “Lynrd Skynrd”

I do prefer Neil Young’s “Southern Man” and “Alabama” with its critiques of racism than “Lynrd Skynrd’s” response to “Southern Man”

So far Harper Lee is the most significant White person I can name from Alabama.

Maybe JC555 can illuminate me

I'm not sure if it was this thread, but Sap asked if the conservatives on here would name the top 3 things that they thought Trump accomplished during his term. NOT ONE SINGLE CONSERVATIVE NAMED 3 THINGS. It was crickets. I am actually curious why they think it was so good.

@Flip

Because I have found you to generally be reasonable. Please . . . educate me.

What are conservative values that are needed?

In my best PHX, define it :) Ok, scratch that. But I'd love to hear what conservative values are?

Now, let me start by putting my foot in my mouth and start guessing.

Gun rights - the ability to own a gun.

Anti abortion - is that really a conservative value or is it a Christian value?

Free trade - is that true any more?

Military power - is that true any more?

I am curious . . . what are conservative values?

I can't figure out what it is conservatives are trying to conserve.

What is it with these conservatives that come into politics.

Can't go five posts without causing a ruckus, and then lave in a huff because everyone is picking on them.

LOL

Umm, some of us would say it brings conservatives which is much needed in this country.

JC . . .

You think I would not say the same stuff to your face.

Sorry to disappoint. I'd say the same thing to your face.

Alabama is a piece of shit state full of welfare drunk uneducated rednecks who are supported by the taxes that California sends to the feds.

When you can't think of one thing positive that Alabama brings to the country, you know it is a piece of shit place.

When you see that the only growth is from births in state, you know it is a piece of shit place.

There is potential there because the state, once you hit Sand mountain and head north is actually quite beautiful.

The problem is good ole boys who want to suppress. When you have Shelby fighting so that Honda, Nissan and MB NOT unionize because it would raise wages, you have a fucked up representative.

When you have more churches than 7-11s you have a problem.

A state that votes to deny women the ability to purchase vibrators is a piece of shit place.

A state that votes to have state employees become pseudo ICE employees is a piece of shit place.

A state that ignores the constitution is a piece of shit place.

Has anything positive ever come out of Alabama? I can only think of one: John Lewis.

JC555,

It’s uncool in SLS to call people pejorative nicknames because of their sexual orientation.

This should be a safe space for a range of sexualities.

But I also know some people get off feeling superior to others by putting others down because of their sexuality or race.

JC555,

I did not label the state of Alabama as racist.

People are racist, not states, even if some states do have a larger percentage of people in them who identify as white supremacists than others.

Some states also are associated with defending slavery and segregation abs biting for avowed white supremacists abs anti-segregationists such as George Wallace for Governor.

Sione states including Alabama also had laws forbidding interracial marriage up until 1967 when the Supreme Court struck down such a ban.

I will judge every person from every state as an individual in regards to their beliefs and prejudices.

I feel there is some level of implicit racism in all of us. Some people are more willing to make their racism explicit.

Others, in my view, give it away by how they judge or speak about Simone such as Kamala Harris versus how they speak about Sarah Palin.

What percentage of people do you estimate in Alabama identify as white nationalists or do you feel have issues with anti-black prejudice. Answer the same question about people in California. If you want, I’ll do the same.

Ps. How do you feel about Mayor Labdrieu’s decision to take down Confederate statues in New Orleansxwheb he was mayor?

Or how do you feel about Confederate statues being removed from the US Capitol building?

Ro ri54.....who are you silly old people. Shouldn't you be having your cornbread and buttermilk by now. Lol

@JC, “ I seriously doubt those countries have tested as many as the US. ”
