I don't understand why these are political.

I didn’t think it would hurt to post.

It didn't hurt...

How old is the house? Sharecropper shack or old home place?

Some black folks are probably offended by the laid by cotton field..

Looks similar to areas south of Ellick, just north of Bunkie on LA 1.

I see no need in anyone black or white to be offended. I am white. I came from a daddy that actually worked to get nothing today. He was born in 32. He grew up poor and picked cotton himself. Had no electricity in his house at a young age and said he and his siblings were lucky to get a Apple or Orange for Christmas. This post wasn’t to bash anyone.

I can show you photos of structures that look just like that on lots next to multi-million dollar properties in Southwest Ranches, FL.

As can be done in AL... Those shacks dotted much of the south and still do in many places... As more and more property is sold it isn't uncommon to see a shack like that on one property and the very next a 4,000 square foot house...

Looks ideal place to set up a still. Good running water close by it appears. Remote.

Is there a reason behind this?

You had NO right to step onto my property and into my home, taking pictures of my house and yard, then posting them on the internet!

Maybe it will be moved to the OT so it doesn’t bother anyone.

If you look at my area in SW GA on an aerial GIS map all you see are round circles from center pivot irrigated cultivated fields. I could have made more money moving off to a big city but all and all I’m glad I stuck to my l roots and stayed home in the country.
