No tax would be increased by removing the language. That is a lie or just another innacuracy.
Has EVERYTHING to do with establishing the Constitutional basis for levying or not levying a school tax at the state level. Has NOTHING to do with the language which is now obsolete and irrelevant.
But right now the sons of Alabama are dishonest, lying, racist tards. That was a key part of 3d's point.
I have lived in the south most of my life. I have travelled all over the country, but prefer the southeast. That I have not offered any evidence of Alabama's progressive side does not mean it does not exist. I simply learned not to try and argue with those so ignorant as to believe the stereotypes of southern culture.
If you choose to believe the stereotypes that will be your own problem.
They are progressive like the National Socialists were. That is, they are progressive towards white people.

The removal of the language itself would not result in a tax increase. But apparently the bill includes numerous other items that would increase taxes or would have a detrimental effect on the people of the state. Since the segregationist language has no effect on life in Alabama, there is no need to accept the other bad pieces of the bill in order to pass a bill that does nothing.
If you fail to present any facts to dispel the stereotypes that will be your own problem.
If you actually believe stereotypes, you are too ignorant or too hateful to learn anyway.
I don't believe you are right. Do you have any proof or are you just going on what Dixie has claimed. That would be a dangerous thing to do as the man shows no integrity or concern for the truth. He once again went into knee jerk mode, shoved his foot into his mouth as hard as possible, is now in the process of trying to back his way out and is at about shin level. He's actually showing signs of improvement as he made several of the corrections before I had to rub his nose in his many mistakes again.
Referendums usually attempt to stick to single issues. This one seems to and the opposition is not about any tax increase. The opposition is about the fact that they are attempting to replace the section by restating some of the language that was added by the racists in response to desegregation.
They way to shed the negative perception over the past is not by providing cover for racists.
Oh, so not progressive towards anyone but white people?
Nice cop-out.
Not a cop-out at all. What stereotypes do you know of that are actually accurate? If you want to buy into the bullshit, go ahead. I have argued against the stereotypes numerous times on this forum. I have posted facts and figures about the south. It changed nothing. So I am no longer wasting my time on it.
I have read more than one article on this bill, but didn't the one posted say blacks were opposed to it as well?
And if the segregation issue has been remedied, does ammending the state constitution yet again, actually do anything?
So the fact that you failed (like your Confederate forebears) means you surrendered (like your Confederate forebears)?
I family came over just after the Civil War.
So if you want to defend belief in stereotypes, by all means do so. I believe them to be signs of ignorance and hate.
Just in time for Jim Crow and the founding of the Klan?
What you believe and what you can prove may be two different things.
Want me to post some more facts about the South?

Are you insinuating my family was involved in either?
Having lived in the south most of my life, it is not my belief but my experience that tells me the stereotypes are a joke.
I am sure you can post plenty of facts showing the south in a bad light. The same can be said for any other place as well.
