actually crazy more people aren't talking about this. black mayor runs for office and wins but gets locked out of city hall by the son of the last mayor. apparently this town has just been handed down from father to son since forever. crazy openly racist stuff, really shows the failure of just 
ing.
I haven't been to very many states, mostly just up and down the eastern seaboard, but Alabama always kind of felt like the most aggressively, old-school style racist out in the open.
