26% black as of last census

way higher than the national average

that's probably 30% by now

considering migration patterns

6th blackest state

yes, 6th blackest.

btw mississippi is actually worse in all the things people shame alabama for

and it's the blackest state in the nation

at 37%

alabama just became the meme southern state because it's easier to say

mississippi is its own set of problems

and there's that stupid song

SWEET HOME ALABAMA

alabama is heavy white trash swamp life

so it's more readily in the public consciousness

you sound like you dont live in the south my man

actual redneck states are like

west virginia

kentucky

tennessee

indiana

maybe ohio

w virginia redneck? mmmm no

the rest sure

bruh

where do u live

it's the archetypal apalachian state

wisconsin

have u even been to any of these places

yes

except for ohio

and teneesee

not sure what part of w virginia u went to lol

are you sure you're not thinking of virginia

the whole state is basically a DC suburb by now

except for the western third

west virginia is deep appalachia though

for sure

same with western maryland and eastern ohio

ohio's pretty redneck

especially in the southeast
