An Alabama Negro in Queen Fry's Court

I don't know what you mean but he's from Georgia


He meant to say "Albany Negro".

Anyway, just watched that whole show, and by the time he got to the Sex and the City 2 stuff he was in my top 3 favorite stand ups. The final bit about his father though pushed him straight to number one.

An Alabama Negro in Queen Fry's Court

@quantumushroom, sounds to me like that's 5 different ways of saying slavery.

1. Economic and social differences between the North and the South

From the site you cited:

[T]he southern economy became a one crop economy, depending on cotton and therefore on slavery. On the other hand, the northern economy was based more on industry than agriculture.

So, the Southern economy was based on slavery, the Northern economy wasn't.


2. States versus federal rights

As I said before, the origin of this concept was the schism over slavery. The South wanted to be able to hold slaves, and the North wanted them free. The compromise was the concept of "state's rights".


3. The fight between Slave and Non-Slave State Proponents

Hey, that one's obviously about slavery.


4. Growth of the Abolition Movement

Uhh, that one too.


5. The election of Abraham Lincoln

From the site you cited:

Even though things were already coming to a head, when Lincoln was elected in 1860, South Carolina issued its "Declaration of the Causes of Secession." They believed that Lincoln was anti-slavery and in favor of Northern interests. Before Lincoln was even president, seven states had seceded from the Union: South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas.

And yes, Lincoln said otherwise. Amazingly enough, the South projected all their worst fears and prejudices on a well educated, liberal, African-friendly President from Illinois back in 1860 too.

Thanks @dotdude for the update,

Alabama fan wanted in post-BCS sexual assault on LSU fan arrested in New Orleans


http://www.nola.com/crime/index.ssf/2012/01/alabama_fan_wanted_in_sexual_a_1.html
Brian xxxxxx, identified as the Alabama fan who pressed his testicles on the neck of an unconscious LSU fan in a Bourbon Street burger joint after the BCS Championship Game, was arrested by New Orleans police Thursday night after driving to meet police. xxxxxx, of Smiths Station, Ala., was taken into custody by New Orleans police about 10 p.m.

Detectives met xxxxxx, 32, at his attorney's office in Mid-City and then took him to Central Lock-Up, where he was booked with one count of sexual battery and one count of obscenity.

Earlier in the day, Russell County Sheriff Heath Taylor, who said he is a second cousin to xxxxxxx, said he personally spoke with the NOPD sex crimes detective handling the case about whether to arrest the man or send him to New Orleans for questioning.

Although he'd heard about the video -- which has created a firestorm on the Internet -- for a couple days, Taylor said he watched it Thursday morning at the prompting of other people who suggested the University of Alabama fan was his relative. The man in the video indeed appeared to be Downing, he said.
"So then I went out there and looked at it and was, like, you have to be kidding me," Taylor said. At that point, he called Downing's father and told him to bring his son to the sheriff's office.

Aren't they speaking with US accents?
Let me see if I get the argument correct. "Candy or food, you choose. We're giving out candy and you know you like it. So screw real food and eat some candy with us."


Nope, those are Canadian accents. The normal crazy accent that people talk aboot is by and large from Canadians living in Quebec or on the east coast. Much the way not all Americans have an accent like those from in Virginia, Alabama or Texas.

@longde

Yeah, I'd bet money that non-partisan conservativism boosts life outcomes relative to liberal temperaments.

Isn't most of the nativism of conservatives actually about culture, rather than ethnicity? Conservatives don't care that Herman Cain, Michelle Malkin, Bobby Jindal, etc. etc. aren't white, but they do care when someone doesn't have proactive attitudes or views themselves as separate from the rest of society.

Also, isn't it in every American's best interest to limit mass immigration of unskilled workers while globalism and ever-increasing automation are decreasing the need for unskilled workers? Liberalism did turn California into officially the dumbest state in the country, with lower scores even than the states we make fun of, like Alabama, so this seems to be a priority issue.

Scenes include (in order of appearance):

Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest
Mono Lake
Joshua Tree National Park
Alabama Hills
Lunar Eclipse of December 2010
Monument Valley
Salton Sea
Tuscon, Arizona
Jeju Island, South Korea
Yosemite National Park
Petrified Forest National Park
Death Valley National Park
Horseshoe Bend

Wow... One upvote (Including me...) I officially have no idea what counts as funny on the sift... If an Alabama kid proclaiming that "America Don't Poop" isn't funny, then I don't know what is.

this tornado then went on to devastate area of Alabama and Georgia

Why is the Church of Scientology being investigated for "abusive behaviour" when many individuals in the catholic church rape boys and the church gets little in the way of an investigation.
Because no one thinks Scientology is a real religion, except Scientologists of course. If these accusations were coming from some Baptist church somewhere in Alabama, believe me the authorities would be just as sleepy-eyed as they normally are.
