United Nations official visiting Alabama to investigate 'great poverty and inequality'

[D3thr0n3d K1ng]

What are you even arguing? Seriously, what are you arguing?

I'm not the one that was laughing at these people and saying let them die. Of course the libs in here were saying that assuming they were White Trump voters.

When did anyone mention race aside from this post?

Its the conservatives that cant back up their own zhit policies which cause this saying dumb stuff like "Well its because Alabama is filled with libruhls" LOL yeah right

Are you drunk? Go read the thread.

Who said Alabama was filled with liberals? What in the Fook are you going on about?

Source?

Just look at the comments in here. Lot of people celebrating a red state has bad poverty

hiya headkicktoleg,

actually, Alabamans themselves, along with their former Governor, think the nature of their State is a laugh riot.

Gov. Robert Bentley told the Alabama Association of Regional Councils Conference, "Our education system in this state sucks," according to video posted this morning by WSFA TV.

The AARC is an umbrella group comprised of regional councils to coordinate economic development activities, according to the group's website.

The crowd laughed and applauded in response.

Governor Bentley goes on to say how he's going to tackle this problem.

Bentley then goes on to resign under the threat of impeachment for multiple felonies and ultimately pleads to misdemeanor charges for improperly using campaign funds for his own use.

what a state!

You said people said inner cities are poor because they are dumb. I didn't. Up to you to prove this.

I'm not hurt. I'm not the one that's been reduced to personal attacks. Something you do a lot. Along with say things you can't back up.

Maybe Mio can help you

Usually the criticism is less ignorant/dumb and more savage/uncivilized/lazy.

But, I didn't say any of that particularly: I merely said that inner city problems are misstated just as pejoratively as Southern ones, despite their causes frankly being more obvious and excusable imo.

Look at the several posts in this thread alluding to this.

Youre telling me you didnt read them?

Some people really don't care about money or the latest I phone.

People are different. Learn to accept it

who the hell is talking about cellphones? Everyone thats ever lived on the gulf coast cares about having reliable AC, clean tap water, a house not crawling with roaches, and roads that dont break a rim. and im sure the folks that DO care about money outnumber the ones who dont, by a substantial degree.

Looks like struggle is back lmao

Yeah good call False. I was thinking the same thing

How do we fix it? Alabama and Mississippi need complete educational system overhauls and they need actual economic opportunities for their residents. They have shit tier schools and few jobs with any upward mobility. This runs across the state, all counties, all demographics.

Tried that. You can provide all the money, provide the best education.

And it seems it all comes dowb to family structure, there is an epidemic in some communities where fathers are abandoning their children .

That's an interesting perspective because Delaware and Alabama have the same percentage of fatherless children. West Virginia and Rhode Island are almost the same as Alabama. Yet they don't have the same problems as Alabama.

Perhaps you're missing the core problem? Which is that Southern states made a concerted effort following the Civil War and again following the Civil Rights Era to assert their independence from the federal government by not providing services to their residents, especially in public schools. Over time, it has hollowed out those states' ability to prepare their entire population to be competitive on the economic stage.

It shouldn't be surprising that many southern states are in the bottom quintile when it comes to early education.

For comparison sake, both Rhode Island and Delaware are in the top quintile for early education (yet the same rate of fatherless children) while West Virginia is right there with Alabama.

So what you're seeing down there is that what was originally a method of defying the federal government has led to long term intellectual and economic impoverishment of the entire state that hurts everyone who lives there.

I've seen similar things in rural Ohio. Many people are on welfare and work shit jobs they hate to the point that they need opioids for pain in old age. Heroin is also HUGE here.

Yet they're all against welfare and free-loaders.

Can we build a wall around Alabama instead of Mexico, it would be cheaper

Actually when you thought we were speaking of White Trump voters you called it a shitty state and worse. Guess you are as bad as all these "other" people you say(but can't prove) talk of inner cities like this.

Like I've always said dude. You are the other side of the coin.

So is it or is it not a shitty state??

It is always near the bottom if not the Bottom in scholastic testing and a state full of beggars because they are always claiming more federal aid than what they produce in federal taxes. basically I am (and every other tax payers in states that give more than receive federal taxes)paying for their shitting management year in and year out..

Why were they defying the federal government?

 

[panamaican]

Why were they defying the federal government?

Because they were bitter and angry over losing a war.
