re: Why does Alabama get so much hate

so it's exactly like those cities when it comes to crime but not job market, culture, events, history, etc.

You don't like Birmingham. I get it. That's fine. You move to Atlanta, Nashville, or New Orleans and I'll stay here. You're being obtuse if you think that Birmingham has none of the above.

Also, not sure why Demopolis got thrown in there. It's still relatively OK for a Black Belt town. Now Uniontown, Union Springs, Selma, Greensboro, etc, etc, etc are truly eye opening. The church down the street from me does their annual mission trip to Sawyerville, AL. Hard to believe places like that exist in this country. Truly sad.
