looked this up. the ENTIRE state of alabama has a grand total of 2,569 haitian immigrants. as best i can tell there are no more than 100 haitian immigrants in Guntersville, a town of about 8500

“bombarded”
Also: the vast majority of Hatians are Christian
'overflowing'
"FOR THE LOVE OF JEFF DAVIS, I HEARD SOMEONE SPEAKING FRENCH!!!"
And you know, they are there legally. Because of course they are.
What a bunch of sadistic fucks.
‘They’ are legal. She just has a problem in that they aren’t white. Pictures online of her and her family scream this…ugh.
100% F’K her -
Yes, Alabama is like third world country.
Homeschooling…oh that kid gonna be dumber than a bag of rocks…like the person who wrote that.
Someone tell her to start drinking raw milk.
Dumb-ass racist. Hope she never has a good night’s sleep for the rest of her miserable life.
Well, in her defense, she probably doesn’t know the definition of the word “bombarded” and ppl shouldn’t use words they are unfamiliar with. However, more likely that she’s simply trying to cover her racism w/sheer veneer of outrage & concern. Sad that racism/xenophobia makes ppl bigoted & afraid!
For these bigots, even one is too many.
They have ALWAYS been liars. They have always said The Other is dirty and feckless. They have always been shameless. Nothing new but now the loose shackles of forced "decency" have been removed.
“I saw even one Black person, and then i died”
I'm from North Alabama. Very rural area. I went to high school with people that have never been outside of the region. For these rural folks 3500 Haitians likely feels like an invasion. Please don't think I'm excusing their ignorance and intolerance. Just recognizing it.
bsky.app/profile/posi...
Have you ever been to that region? I would bet U haven't, or if U have U didn't leave the city. Decatur is 60 m from Albertville, and 30 m from Huntsville and in between all of that is nothing farmland and churches so yes it's rural, & none of these towns except Huntsville are very big at all.
"I feel so bad saying some of this stuff, but......"
Exactly! Not bad enough to stop saying it-- and passing it on to the kids.
This Karen would feel "bombarded" by two Haitian immigrants.
I read all these this morning and just shook my head. I don’t know how you can connect with this type of thinking, especially the “saved by god” line.
It takes a village to raise a white supremist.
Somebody once does something you are afraid of somewhere in the world becomes the downfall of civilization. And becomes the downfall of civilization.
She is correct that rural Alabama often has the character of a developing country, but I’m afraid that’s a “turn on your monitor” problem for Crystal here.
"A handful of people are different from me, so we have to do ethnic cleansing".
1) I bet 'Haitian' is used here for any dark skinned person who is speaking a non-English language. Ya know, why bother getting to know. 2) I feel so sad for people who strive to make it to the USA and end up in Alabama.
She was probably homeschooled too...
The all-powerful Haitian Strategic Air Command is sending waves of bombers over rural Alabama. /s
“Bombarded” by propaganda, rather than Haitians, but won’t admit it.
Poor kid. Hope he gets to go to college, and out of state, where he might learn stuff
“Literally taken over”
I know guntersville. It’s always been a third world country.
Its just like the cat litter boxes in schools lie.
"We are home-schooling him right now."
"My buddy saw a funny looking guy once..."
"bombarded" = "I saw some at the grocery store"
Shot out of cannons or dropped from those mysterious “black helicopters”
They’re bombarded by the social media feeds they subject themselves to, I think many of these folks barely go outside
I live in northeast Alabama, about 15 miles from Guntersville. Many of the largest employers for the area are poultry processing and immigrants are the only people who will work those jobs. My wife teaches at a school where over 60% of the students are Hispanic, but are almost all bilingual.
That's still not bombarded. This lady is just upset that her kid's school and their neighborhood isn't lily white enough for her racist ass. She has her kid do every homeschool project or assignments on Trump. She is not a reliable witness, she is a "cult warrior" in their made up culture war.
Homeschooling has become a racist breeding ground. It’s a “4-fer” for magas, (1) divert needed funds away from public schools (2) raise racists in private because they’re white nationalists (3) get women back in the home as the teacher (4) eliminate critical thinking so nothing is ever challenged.
In defense of home schooling, my friend with a child with ADD had to homeschool bc the public school was one of those open schools where all the classes are in 1 big room and hear each other. He had zero chance in a school like that.
So what I’m saying is that something meant to be rare and for good has become massive and bad. (I realize the movement was started by religious freaks who thought school-teaching is against the Bible, why do you think we have such a science backlash today?!?!).
I agree that it is not bombarded and was disagreeing with her comment. The immigrant population for this area has increased over a 20 year period, not overnight.
I grew up in Missouri and there were only 25 Black AMERICAN families with a total of 16 school age kids in my town of about 10,000 and my neighbors thought there were “ A LOT” of us around
Exactly.
It reminds me of Manhattan…
"I saw one just the other day...they're EVERYWHERE"
I grew up in the suburbs of NYC which were whiter than a virgins sheet and if a black person even drove through our town people would call the cops. Seriously.
Translation: More than one.
You’re too generous. Pretty sure the only comfortable number for someone like her begins with z and ends with o
that’s a lot of weasel words for them to just say they hate black people
Just like there's an "invasion" at the southern border.
"I saw one non white person"
also the Haitians did migrate to Alabama legally. a southern white lady hoping to go back to the good old days is definitely code for resegregation
They had to throw that “legally” bit in there because they know they sound like Nazis.
That was my thought, too. “I have no problem with legal immigrants, except for all these Black people here legally.”
And never mind that the Haitians ARE here legally.....
She saw one dark skinned person, and decided that was too many. She wants to live with the “values she grew up with”, which means “none”.
"I saw a Black person and it was really scary. I could have been mugged."
If she can see a Black person, there are too many of them!
Bombarded means there are any at all in her book
“I saw a Haitian immigrant in the woods talking to Satan” Nothing ever changes
What kind of name is Kuruvilla?
Well felon trump is going to clean out the legal Haitian immigrants from Springfield, Ohio on the first day!!!! Obviously made up the story to stir up his base and the fell for it. The felon sent all the hate towards this group of people. In order to feel powerful he needs to hate denigrate people
"i want my kids to grow up with the same values that i had growing up" says the white woman from alabama whose "values when i grew up" were just straightup jim crow 🙄
Pretty sure the problems with her kid’s school have zero to do with any Haitian immigrants. In Alabama.
Great just the kind of person you want homeschooling her son…today’s lesson plan is how to blame a few people for everything wrong in my life
“I want to go back to the way it was” maybe she should just be honest - “ I don’t want any Black people in my rural Alabama town.” Good god, what kind of society have we become? It is horrifying.
Fuck the NYT. As always, they love to quote people who a quick google search always reveals something deeper.
These "statements" look as if they've come from a troll-farm, produced by paid teams of influencers.
Ah yes, all that illegal immigration from THE ISLAND NATION OF HAITI
The reason Alabama is a like a 3rd world country is because of Republican rule for the last few decades.
Crystal Whitaker saw two Haitians and now she is obsessed.
The hate is rampant. Has to stop! The gop are sheep…
The people profiled are utterly delusional. I particularly liked the guy who thinks being in "the roaring twenties 2.0" will end well.
Translation: I saw a black person who might be Haitian and now I'm mad
So many details of this speak for themselves, but having it all right here and knowing this is just a regular person. That this is how most of these people legitimately see and process things. It's terrifying.
Alabama is ranked 45th in education nationally. So much for those southern values and Bible Belt mentality.
I think her home education for her son is watching fox news all day everyday
Definitely. Or listening to her.
No wonder they give us Senators like Tuberville.
Alabama, the most advanced civilization the world has ever known, the cradle of education. If we can't protect Guntersville, is there any point of even having an America?
"they're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats, of the people that live there"
Dear sweet @jamellebouie.net. Facts have no place in their fiction. Bombardment to them is seeing 2 of “them” at the grocery store, another at the gas station and another picking up food in the same week. Logic, reasoning and kindness is not their strong suit. Shame. Backwards ass bòbòt.
So, is she homeschooling her son to obsess about Trump or is she homeschooling because all they teach in the schools is Trump?
I bet all 100 of those Haitian migrants are there legally.
She forgot the eating the cats and dogs trope.
Maybe the southern ones are allergic??
For the average hick, “as long as it’s done legally” is a euphemism for “as long as you do it with my personal permission.” It’s an incantation born of fear and suspicion, not an appeal to the rule of law.
What is your definition of a "hick"?
See above picture of rubbish left behind by Trump supporters, who complain about people not cleaning up after themselves, and imagine it in a rural setting.
The definition of “hick” is just like the definition of “pornography”: you know it when you see it, just like that pornography you love.
Man, feel sorry for her kid!
Crystal Whitaker should feel right at home. The Moronic Monarch has claimed that AMERICA is a third world country. Why is she all pissed if some of her neighbors are from a third world country if she is from one?
Rural Alabama has a lot of variety, and I don't think I have been to Guntersville specifically. If I have, I don't remember. But if Hatians there are speaking in dialect rather than standard English and have a lot of junk around, sounds like they are fitting in pretty well to most of rural Alabama.
Crystal just wants to goback to a time where her husband could openly hit her when she speaks out of turn or in a manner unbefitting a cultured lady. Crystal should just move to the UAE.
I'm afraid I'm going to need some kind of evidence proving, with a detailed explanation, that Alabama has not been a "third world country" for most of its existence.
I grew up there and the answer is yes for many parts of the state. There are sections where wealthy white people live that, do not appear to be third world however that is precisely how the third world operates.
Mountain Brook. Vestavia. Old Leeds Road. The elite who hire people who homeschool because they are racists. Hire them to be servants.
Fairhope, Daphne, most of the Eastern shore of Mobile Bay, parts of Mobile-ditto.
I was talking to someone from Alabama and they told me to ask them a hard question. I asked them to say the alphabet. They said "KKK. Bet you thought I couldn't do it, didn't ya?" Your probably not going to get any evidence anytime soon. 🤣🤣
If you're in a city, you're good. 30 minutes in either direction and you are not. Guntersville is 45 minutes outside of Huntsville.
So she counts like most Americans: today.yougov.com/politics/art...
Would you want to live in Alabama? I don't even want to drive through.
99% of conservatism is just being an asshole. The rest is just lying about some arbitrary past that never existed.
I think 100% asshole with the lying part just rolled right in there. I always wonder were they born assholes or did they learn & practice. ‘Cause they’re so fucking good at it.
It’s just easier to make shit up and to get angry/violent than it is to think and empathise
Agree
But they was lookin at me funny!
Listen to song Lynyrd Skynyrd "sweet home alabama" and neil Youngs "Southern man" Perhaps Nina Simone youtu.be/Bn6DKuEleUg?...
“I mean, every paper he writes, every project in school, everything is about Trump.” Woman, you are this child’s teacher. YOUR’E the one assigning the papers and projects.
People here in Bama are horribly ignorant and hateful but oddly polite to your face. Meanwhile, they will vote away your rights AND theirs if their preacher, buddy, boss, etc tell them it will own the lib or restore Xtian values.
Bigots are not christian!
You may have missed the entirety of Western Civilization as well as a good deal of Eastern Civilization.
Human primates are not ‘real’ christians because of their bigotry. Religions are just fronts so people can practice bigotry & oppression. It’s a symptom of psychosis, caused by extreme indoctrination!
That is an explanation I can endorse. Why our Founding Fathers, despite their many faults and vices and sins, sought to keep religion far from the government.
What surprises me, is that I'm not even American, and even I know that. I just keep getting the quote from Lethal Weapon 4 in my head: "Bring me your tired, your poor... ...your wretched masses, yearning to be free" I'm not sure if it's from the constitution or not.
It’s a poem inscribed on the Statue of Liberty
Thanks
“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” This quote comes from Emma Lazarus’ sonnet, New Colossus, which she wrote for a fundraiser auction to raise money for the pedestal upon which the Statue of Liberty now sits.
Slight segway, doesn't that technically mean the sonnet and thus the Statue of Liberty is "woke"? (I honestly hate the term "woke" for clarity, especially the way it's been butchered to mean something else.)
Didn't know that. Thank you.
Replace ‘Haitian’ with ‘black’ and her real intent will be clearer.
She’s probably homeschooling because her son was expelled for attacking black kids 🙄
Wait what? Their kid is obsessed with Trump? That explains quite a bit here.
It’s not about the immigrants. They have to find a group of people who are unable to fight back and defeat them. They will be winners and they will be able to project power. This is what the knucklehead followers need to see.
Interesting because my daughter’s boyfriend has 40 Haitians in his department of 55.He said they are the kindest, hardest working, most dependable people in the company.He never mentioned any of the things that person from Alabama mentioned.It’s almost like this person from Alabama is a RACIST!!!!
What?! Racists?? IN ALABAMA????
That can't be right! Not the state with over 360 lynchings?!
😮 that's not nice to infer she's racist. Even if she probably is
Alabama… Say it isn’t so…
Good Ole Fashioned Southern Hospitality, bless their hearts!
Hater have to hate …truth doesn’t matter
Delusional hysteria about being overrun by “others” is the MAGA brand. I’m sure she thinks she’s a good Christian. 🙄
If they're here illegally, one is too many.
I wouldn't mind meeting young Whitaker. We'll have a riveting discussion.
You see where she said *obsessed with Donald Trump* What a weirdo. I wonder if that will work out for you and your kid when there's no Dept of Education. Leftists don't do weird stuff like that. We don't worship people. We look at the policies being offered. They're so one dimensional. It's so odd.
It just happened! No idea how.
Why does she assume the Haitian immigrants are here illegally? Because they're Black? Most Haitian immigrants are here through Temporary Protected Status, legally.
Sounds like someone hasn’t become “way too liberal”.
Same vibes here in Maine. Hard to keep my eyes from rolling out of my head when I hear someone blaming the immigrant population for all the problems in the state. A state that's about 93% white looking for scapegoats for their own miserable and failed lives.
They've literally resurrected L/A. The Congolese/Somali population is the best thing to happen to Lewiston since Ali fought Liston.
My mother had tickets to that fight. She arrived a few minutes late and thanks to Liston's glass chin, missed it all. But she did get Robert Goulet, who was famously too intoxicated to get the National Anthem lyrics correct, to autograph a Mallo Cup cardboard coupon insert which I currently have.
There's finally more Black people than Black Bears, and people are freaking out for some reason. They speak French, go to church, and have better food. They're basically another wave of Quebecois.
Exactly! My mother's family immigrated to Lewiston in the early 1900's. They were maligned and discriminated against, often with the same tired trope of "They just don't understand OUR culture."
My mother couldn't speak French to her mother or grandmother because the nuns at her school would take a ruler to their hands if they were caught speaking french.
Same!
"We're homeschooling because there are black people in public schools." "I feel bad writing some of this lol"
That basically summarized it.
The reason the schools are bad has nothing to do with Haitians
Tell the world you’re a racist without using the word racist. Oh yeah, pass it down to your child.
Alabama IS A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY !!
She used a lot of words when "I am a bigot" would have sufficed.
Query: Crystal, would you happen to be a Southern christian RACIST?
Well, did you honestly expect them to cloud their racist diatribe with actual FACTS? 🙄🤦♀️ Welcome to Post-Truth America.
The writer says she has "no problem with someone immigrating, just do it legally." How does she know that they aren't in the country legally? I call bull$hit.
Ooooo, "THEY" are taking over. Whoever "THEY" are, there's too many of THEM. Too brown, too poor, too gay, too trans, too female, too democratic, too left.
This is how they do it. Constant spreading of lies that validate their hate for people not just like them. The greatest thing about our country is our differences. Where in the world can you experience all cultures? All foods. All music & art. America has always been great, even with our problems.
Let’s rip that letter to shreds for just a minute. 1. They want their kids to grow up with the same values as they did. - So they want their kids to be racist AND “religious?” Neat. 2. “I hate saying things like this.” - No you don’t. You truly enjoy it. Why? Because you’re racist.
also kids don’t become obsessed with politicians like they’re movie stars unless their parents work that into their kid lol. “My kid is a straight up neonazi and by my own admission only interacts with me at school. Who could’ve made him like this?!”
And THIS is why they call him “Daddy.”
Frankly its journalistic malpractice to not include actual numbers at this point. the # is statistically negligible and does nothing to hurt resource availability in this example. how many other times have they been conveniently forgotten by “journalists” trying to scare locals?
Who wants to live there??? Alabama is trash!!
Well golly if we don't want Haitian immigrants maybe we shouldn't make it our foreign policy to keep Haiti poor and unstable and worth leaving in desperation
This is what people don’t get, eh? On a global scale.
Yes. Our habit of destabilizing countries that put their citizens' well-being ahead of American Corporations' ability to profit from their resources and labor is a big driver of immigration in our hemisphere alone
Maybe they are counting their lawn jockey statues.
I googled that too. Would be nice if the paper of record reported actual facts alongside these constant maga-world hot takes.
“I feel so bad about saying these things that I had to write them down and send them to my local paper.”
"Textile designer" = "I print Mama Bear on crew necks with my cricut for my wasp mom friends. "
Maybe she has a Spoonflower store with tacky American flag designs.
Have you ever noticed that it’s always “them” that are the cause of all their woes in life? Blacks, Mexicans, Muslims, Haitians, Asians, gays, trans or liberals. It’s always “them.” Yet they live in run down backwoods Alabama and think their quality of life is okay.
They hate melanin
You know what this bull it is. Its that old bull line: "Not in my neighborhood." Values my arse.
You should know by now MAGA conflated numbers in all categories. Especially when it's people that are all sorts of shades of non-white because they can't tell the difference so they lump them all together.
That kid is either going to hate his parents and turn out OK or go on a murdering spree, there’s no in between
Of course she homeschools, how else are her children going to learn how Jesus rode the dinosaurs to fight the homosexuals?
Dinosaurs aren’t in the Bible so they never happened. 😝
Clearly you've never seen video of the Ark encounter in Kentucky. Ken Ham has got you covered. It's Ken science.
The ark thing?
Yeah. Bubba built a mock Noah’s Ark in Kentucky and there’s apparently an exhibit explaining how 6000 years ago, they put dinosaurs on the ark with the humans. Worked great. There are walkthrough videos on YouTube. It’s amazing.
Thank you! That would be an interesting and fun place to visit. Sent to my daughter so now she and the grandkids want to take a road trip. A road trip across the country 🤷
As long as she treats it as a critical thinking exercise? Maybe read them the “Epic of Gilgamesh” for good measure?
😮
youtu.be/XxhrzC0uWwA?.... Check around 9:30. You’ll be amazed.
It’s like they had their own little Jurassic park. Made out of wood. In the Stone Age. It was great. They loved it
Didn't it get damaged by flooding? Seem to recall a battle with the insurance....probably something to do with it being ' an act of God'..
My relatives are very firm on the dinosaurs being a lib-tard thing. Good luck to Ken trying to convince them. 😅
Would Ken Ham lie to you?
Homeschooling superintellekt from a crocheting, sewing machinist who sells teddy bears made of old clothes at the church parking lot three times a year is trying to tell me something new? …. Mmk MissCrystal.
This is just whites finally feeling like they can racism again
Sorry, again as in openly every day. Not “again” as in it stopped miraculously
She misses those weekly cross burnings.
Depressing how easily people can be triggered by propaganda.
And they are there legally as well. “Christian” values my green arse cheeks 😠
I am not sure how someone can tell, especially in Alabama, that a stranger is from Haiti. I live in Alabama part time, and I have a tough time understanding the rural residents when they speak in their own vernacular & accents. This woman is just scared of people who do not look or talk like her.
It's a crises entirely generated in their own heads. A phantom menace made of thin air. And, Haitian refugees are here legally.
Alabama has been “like” a third world country long before Haitians arrived.
Project 2025 cannot justify their actions. Force them to fail to do it on screen.
Then leave the country bitch!!
When a white alabaman says “Haitians” what they’re actually saying is “n*€><“
Conservative values is code for white America. Those 100 Haitians are definitely ruining those Christian white values of hers, so sorry her son has to see some immigrants. 🙄
These people lie a lot and they believe themselves
This kind of talk in the post you quoted is abhorrent and disgusting, there's a town not far from me that has had a lot of YouTubers make videos saying that it's crawling with Haitian migrants and they're doing terrible things and it's all false, the town has seen economic growth & upgrades recently
:(
Wait, is she saying that picking up litter is an American value? Because if so, lmao forever, like I literally may laugh myself to death over this
They always hide their hate behind their religion. It's how they rationalize it in their head. So delusional and self righteous.
"I have no problem with immigrants as long as they do it legally" ....and act like us... and look like us.... and speak like us... and....
I guess if people come in legally they are clean up after themselves? What have schools become? I’d worry if my child were obsessed with Trump, he’s not one that any child should admire, unless of course you want a sexual abuser and felon as a role model.
About the only thing she left out was that they are eating the pets.
Another case of hate MAGA influx drives the lies and hate Minority of citizens have overtaken the majority How did this happen
That woman is grooming her son to be a sexual predator
in this context a “return to Southern Conservative values” can only mean, a return race-based segregation and discrimination.
I guess I need to drive ten minutes and have a polite conversation with these folks. There's also TWO "Negro Mountains" around these parts. Alabama tries so hard to be the middle-east it's insanity.
There are 100x as many guns in Alabama as there are Haitian immigrants… As usual, they spend their time on the important issues 🙄
Alabama, nuff said-
It's weird that when Republicans turn states into actual third-world countries with their policies, that these people don't seem to notice.
Does this woman think Haitians are immigrating illegally somehow?
They will latch onto literally ANY excuse to exhibit their racism. 😐
Racism and ignorance is a hecka of a drug.
That poor kid someone needs to call cps it isn't healthy for him to be obsessed with a facist.
I grew up in rural Britain in the 1960s as the ONLY black child living with white foster parents in an all white society. I did not encounter racism and was treated as novel because I was, as a single child, not a threat.
My experience growing up has given me a deeper insight into racism. One hundred Haitians is TERRIFYING to a person brainwashed since birth that black is inferior and dangerous. Racism needs to be viewed as mental illness. If we are totally honest we are ALL racist …. We swim in the same pool
My foster mother was uneducated, but she loved me. My first boyfriend was Indian, I am African. I took him home to meet my parents my mother hugged me and said “Dad and me think Joshi is such a nice boy. We are glad you have found one of your own” To her there were ‘White folk’ and ‘others’.
I have so many stories but my awakening came when I saw my own racism. When I deal with clients I am more likely to assume they will struggle with my fees if they are non white, and also more likely to assume they will identify with me positively, for the same reason. It’s still racism I own it.
Home schoolers believe all sorts of horror stories about the public schools. Not surprised that she's making declarations without any actual firsthand evidence.
The racism is bursting at the seams of those southern takes.
Alabama is a third world country without all of that to begin with. MS, AL and LA are the poorest states for a reason.
I’ve been there many times and rarely seen people who aren’t white. I see the white redneck idiots trashing places with their cheap beer. I hate the people in that area and around it they are so stupid. I avoid them so I don’t lose brain cells.
Sounds like the Whitakers need to be dropped off at the "Gulf of America" and the 100 legal immigrants in Guntersville get a public apology
Yeah, those Haitians are why the schools are bad
First, I have to wonder where he gets his "obsession." Second, this writer assumes the Haitians aren't there legally; why? (I can guess.) Finally, the comment regarding how dirty they are can also be said RE MAGA folks. It's a 2 way street, & certainly should be taken on a case by case basis.
Not that these people care, but the crazy part is Haitians are here legally! They just don’t think Haitians should ever be included in the legal immigration policies of this country. Because they are blatantly what they are - racists. She feels guilty? Spare me.
Dear Whitakers: Let's go back to the part where you claim to have "values".
re "what the schools have become". I would be really interested in the record of public financial support for public schools over time. In 1999, in Charleston a 300K bond referendum to repair leaky roofs failed. Teachers were paid 18K/year. How are things now in SC and AL?
We all know damn well that Crystal was home schooling her spawn anyway because she didn’t want to subject him to black kids. Period. Crystal would send her boy to the local Christian school, but there was that unfortunate incident between Crystal & the school’s principal, so her kid was banned.
Nobody knows the actual number. Thats ridiculous. Those are just guesses
Racist xenophobic bitch.
Straight to the point🎯
I live in a rural area and from my perspective it's the poor whites making it feel like a third world country
Of course, it's the poverty itself that is the issue. It's just a shame that they'd rather blame other poor, nonwhite people than the people whose wealth keeps inflating beyond any reasonable volume.
That’s what baffles my mind. Why not blame the billionaires who are not paying their fair share, lobbyists, so called „Christian conservatives“ & greedy corporations that prevent them from doing better? Or maybe themselves. Poor immigrants did nothing to make your live miserable & less wealthy.
Everyone has to have someone else to blame for their problems. It’s the American way.
Cookie "crumbs"
Funny thing, have they ever traveled to another country?
100% no. I had a co-worker who, when I was taking a trip to France, asked me to bring him back a bottle of wine because, he said, his family was Italian (🙄). He had no idea what a PITA it would be to travel with wine because he’d never been anywhere. Incidentally, he was racist as the day is long.
I bet his family was "Eye-Tallian"
Lived in the south all my life, in rural and urban areas. Rural areas are economically depressed. IMO, they hold onto their racism to make sense of poor choices and dismal futures. As long as they can look down on others, their life makes sense. Churches are social centers. Clergy is racist too.
Same, well I grew up in one in my teen years, the Black people in our community weren't the ones with yards full of junk cars & other scrap metal garbage. My mom & brother live together in rural Michigan with trash strewn about their yard. They just throw shit on the ground.
Exactly this. It's like Mad Max around here once you start driving around the country. It's their god given right to pollute!
Mad Max is ridiculously accurate- there was a guy on our road who turned his car into a "convertible" by sheering the roof off - I know people who still register their cars in that county because the taxes are lower & there is no emissions testing (which they also can't afford to pay for)
Before you get too excited, does this person even exist? Anyone can type anything and post it as an image with no context or source.
Crystal is *desperate* to use the n word in this letter. She might as well have finished her screed with “The South will Rise Again”
I read what this woman says she wants and I wonder precisely what values she's talking about. The leader she admires is a liar, a thief, an ignoramus, and a known sexual predator. He regularly falsely accuses others of what he himself does. Why should we emulate any of this?
Let me decode her comments: "our values" = "white people"
As we bring immigrants legally to the U.S., to help acceptance & transition, orientation to the ways of our culture or the locals' are seriously needed. I understand the frustration of others when new neighbors do not speak the local language. This is nothing new. Yes, race does add complication.
Fuck them - their racism is apparent
All.of those Haitians were LEGAL immigrants, so argument is invalid. (Also stupid and racist ..)
Homeschooling their child guarantees that the terminal stupidity that runs in the family will not end
“I have no problem with someone immigrating, just do it legally” And yet they constantly complain about legal immigration. Like with Haitians.
Thats what’s hilarious. Most of the Haitians are legal 🤣 same shit in Springfield, Ohio.
Yep, the only she left out was they are eating the pets. Guess she thought they may think she's racist if she takes it too far.
Interesting. Melania was here on an expired visa for years... but she's wyt. Guess it doesn't apply to her. It has nothing to do with immigration. It's all about racism. If the immigrants were wyt, they would be cool with it all.
These humans are unhappy with their lives and are looking for someone else to blame. Other than perhaps their own choices.🤷♀️
When she said she has no problem with them immigrating legally, she means she has no problem with them immigrating SOME PLACE ELSE.
Racism is alive and well in the South….. it’s disgusting if you’re not used to it🐽🖕
And disgusting even if you ARE used to it.
Agreed. It’s been eye opening moving to Texas…..
Oh my. That would be a tough move!
The racism is strong with this one!
As cult-like, racist as they come. Imagine being such a piece of trash to include your name and your son’s name. I bet that kid has a gun collection
The problem with this post is not about immigrating legally because it start by calling Haitians as dirty. Which means they may not really be illegal immigrants but since they're Hatians,she/he sees them as dirty, nasty filthy. Sad
We have the same phenomenon in Germany. In those corners of the country where they hardly HAVE any immigrants, the hysteria related to being "overrun" by foreigners is the strongest 🤦🏼♀️
Same in the UK.
😏
My step dad recently told me I’m going to need to learn to speak “Chinese “, because they are taking over the country? We got in a shouting match and I left. He’s hopelessly misinformed and racially biased and has no fucking idea.
Good Lord 🤦🏼♀️
Remember, if you are able to convince people that whoever you don't like is "pure evil", the truth becomes irrelevant. All things become permissible to defeat the "enemy". Lying, systemic bigotry, and going so far as murder or even genocide.
And that's not adjusting for the ones that have might have been there a while so you can probably shave at minimum a handful or two off that 100.
I mean I love our country on so many levels, but the irony that a person living in rural Alabama doesn't think they're already in the third world is just chefs kiss!
Some bigots think one or two per class is an overrun. And yet she calls herself a Christian.
That Woman has no problem with what she is saying or she wouldn’t be saying it or publicly for that matter - She is a bigot in my opinion- Just another fake Christen nationalist - Trump, Trump, Trump, My God -
💯 written by a bot. The English is too correct.
Racists being liars is all too common
What resource did you use to find the number of illegal Hattian Immigrants that might be in Guntersville? Seems that would be a difficult Statistic to discern.
TBF, she considers even one to be an invasion.
It's a gong show, up is out, down is in, and oz is an f'd up place
Are we sure this is even a real person and not just another MAGA lie?
In order to make sense of this (I won't use the word understand) you have to realize that there are people whose sense of self and worth is only held together by believing (I won't use the word thinking) they are better than someone else. They crash into ruin when they even see anyone different.
Fun Fact: Alabama is often ranked low in education due to consistently low standardized test scores, a high student-to-teacher ratio, inadequate funding for public schools, a large percentage of students living in poverty, and a history of underinvestment in education systems.
SWEET HOME ALABAMA
It’s by design. Keep the black folk down by any means. Jim Crow lives large in the “Bible Belt”
That’s one part. Keep them ALL dumb so that they believe anything they’re told. Trump in 2016: “I love the poorly educated”
They’re also there legally.
HER VALUES SUCK.
This is freaking mentally ill, 100 ppl. Reaching out is dead due to the Trump influence, now you get to say things like this out loud, much less feel so put upon and act so small. Nobody realizes that stats say first gen doesn't adapt that well in English, but 2nd is always ready to rock.
‘We want our country back!’ Back to where? To the Native American people? To the Spanish that first found it? To the British that set up residence? To the Irish that flocked after the famine? LIKE THE UK THE US of A is a country made up from immigrants and they’re both richer for it.
They mean they just want it back to when they only had to look at colored people when they went out to check the cotton fields.

Hey commenters - if your response to this is "all people in Alabama are dumb and bad for living there," please fuck all the way off. No one "deserves" to live in a state where their rights have been under attack for hundreds of years. Not everyone can afford to live somewhere else.
I suggest that the perpetuation of an environment resulting in Alabama being ranked 45th in education, 48th in life expectancy and 43rd in obesity rate is due to fucking stupidity, racism and an uncanny knack for Alabamans to continue voting against their own interests (a Republican supermajority).
...no? The cost of living in Alabama is extremely low - so low it's functionally impossible for many to move elsewhere. That, plus gerrymandering, is why this state has these issues. It's also why we have mutual aid networks. No one cares about us except us. Especially not y'all.
Those Haitian immigrants are extra powerful. I've been in that area of Alabama. Extraordinarily racist.
You may need to Google the words Undocumented Illegal Unregistered Re statistics
Yay more white Christian nationalists lying about how unjustly oppressed they are
ah yes, Alabama, paragon of civilized culture
And how many of those 100 are school age?
"It's like a third world country." Umm, Crystal... you're living in a third world country...
Looks like just because you live in the Bible Belt doesn't mean you are tolerant of others and their differences ✌️
I'm sure any number higher than 1 is too much for Crystal and her racist, er, "Christian" values.
That last line. Holy shit with these people.
Apparently home schooling doesn't teach the meaning of 'literally.'
Go back to the way things were in the South… Does she not get how that sounds, or does she no longer care?
Guntersville or Gutter-vile? She’s racing the next serial killer/Proud Boi
That must be from that fucking stupid article in the NYTimes that I saw this morning asking voters what they expect from the Trumptydump. Jeez, don’t ANY of these bumblefucks realize that he doesn’t give a rats ass about them and will fuck them over in a heartbeat?
They all lie. And basically calling Haitians dirty. So many racists in this world. 😞
Even one “other” is distressing to Karen-types.
They need someone to fear and hate.
Part of the system of dystopian Oligarchy is ensuring someone is worse and worse off to keep the racism and class warfare pointing down, rather than up. It was worked for generations as the income gap grows and conditions continue to decline.
And I just gotta say … “Textile designer” my ass.
These people are sick.
Thank you.
