No Service to Illegal Aliens

[QUOTE=jcb;473007][QUOTE=bassin_bug;472993]

I know AL and MS quite well, and it is BOTH blacks and whites that are the problem. To say it's just blacks is incredibly narrow sighted.[/QUOTE]

To "know" AL and MS 'quite well,' is rather interesting, to say the least, since you don't live here. How well do you REALLY know the people in these states? If you drive a truck across the state, come to visit your in-laws once a year, or come on vacation, or get your info from newspapers, you don't know half the story.

I don't know if you are black or white, if you are married to a black or white, and I don't give a happy rotten rat's butt if you have a house full of kids that are mullatto. I'm not narrow sighted, I SEE what is happening in my town and THAT IS THE PEOPLE I WAS TALKING ABOUT.

I know the folks in those two states "quite well", is the best way I can put it. One in AL, a banker, who told me about talking with a county official once who was asked why there were fewer black folks in his county than surrounding counties. His answer: "cause we don't want 'em here". The other, a family member in MS who bragged to me once that he charged black folks up to twice what he charged white folks for the same work, and then went on about how stupid they were not to figure it out.

Bug, I don't know you or the people around you. I do know that your statement "racism is alive and well in AL and whites are not the problem" is, on its face, ridiculous. As I said, there is racism on both sides.

I will say, though, that if you're a white victim of racism in AL or MS you might have to bag your own groceries or wait a little longer to get your 3-piece chicken snack with red beans and rice, as you said. If you're a black victim of racism, you might spend a few years longer in jail, lose a couple thousand bucks to a repairman, or get a cross burned in your front yard.

I will also say, there's no reason to single out AL and MS on this topic. I've met some of the sweetest people I know down there. There's plenty of good old down home racism alive and well here in KY.

You know TWO people, one in AL and one in MS but their comments don't do much but tell a few lies or show what a lowlife they are for being dishonest. You need to stop watching old movies from the 1960s about southern racism and Martin Luther King. Racism occurred in other states outside the south during the same time frame. We don't live in those days, they are finished and behind us. If you knew anything about our laws, you would know the penalty for cross burning isn't a mere slap on the hand; it's almost as bad as a homicide. There are also laws against price gouging and all the victim has to do is report it. The first thing is to KNOW in advance what a repair job will cost him and if he doesn't like the price, just say "no" and walk away. Don't let the repairman gouge him and then piss and moan about it. Frankly, your comment about cross burning is a lot of BS. You need to pull your head out of your butt and enlighten yourself.

Dishonest? Lies? No, racism.

Bug, if you really believe what you're typing, that the only racism now in AL is racism committed by black folks, and that for white people, racism is "behind us", you are living in a fantasy world.

Progress has been made, but racism is going to be with us for a long, long time. No matter what state we're talking about.

Just so you can get your facts straight, cross burning is considered a hate crime and some have been federally prosecuted. Read about all these cases and see how many you find that were committed around the United States rather than in Alabama. Cross burning didn't just start with the KKK, it was in existence long before that, I think in the late 1800s to early 1900s, and in other countries around the world as well.

[url]http://articles.latimes.com/keyword/cross-burning[/url] There are at least 5 pages of this information. See how many times Alabama is mentioned.

This is my last comment on this subject. We have lost the thread which was originally intended to tell about my county refusing service to illegal aliens.

There's no errant fact to "get straight". I said if you were a black victim of racism you might get a cross burned in your yard. It's happened many, many times.

Another fact for all these self proclaimed civil rights affirmists,The National Headquarters of the KKK has more recently been located in Louisville,Ky and in Indiana than in Alabama or Mississippi.
If you think there isn't a higher percentage of Black Racism toward Whites then you better check crime figures,there is a way higher percentage of Black on White crime than in reverse.With a much higher population of White people I find that just a little unsettling.
If that doesn't convince you answer this question: Who would be safer,a Black man walking through Alabama at Night or a White man walking through a housing project on the west side of Louisville?

The same people on this thread crying about racism and bigotry have and can be quoted making Bigoted remarks about HillBilly's and rural people in their very own state.
