Alabama a nice state in the southeastern United States. It is not full of rednecks like some of these people say. And it also has one the greatest football programs ever. No not Auburn.

Well, it is a shame that people judge this beautiful state due to their lack of knowledge. Alabama's education is improving every year. Bessemer high school in Birmingham, AL, was ranked the number one high school in the country thanks to the outstanding performance of students and their (national) test scores. The University of Alabama, Auburn University, and many more colleges and universities are ranked among the best in the nation(These facts can be viewed on the internet). Not only the education, but the cities are among the best. Huntsville, AL is one of the main reasons NASA is where it is today. Technological advances are conceived everyday to help improve the space program and potientially the benefit for mankind. God has blessed this state with wonderful and faithful people. He has also created beautiful moutains, valleys, and beaches, and yet the history of this great state adds to the immaculate beauty. It is very unfortunate that people have to be so critical and narrow-minded about Alabama and the South itself. The South is where its at, and you will never know untill you experience it! Oh by the way, racism exisist everywhere and not just in Alabama. The few racist people and "rednecks" that reside in Alabama are not recognized by the predominant society of noramal people. This includes the entire Southeast.
Auburn is the place to be with great tailgating and friendly people, along with beautiful landscape and beautiful architecture. War Eagle HEY!

A place for the party heart and a place for the soft at heart! Some people judge Alabama from what is not known. I lived in Alabama for about five years and know it is a million times better than West Virginia! So if you want to put down a state pick West Virginia but don't say it to my face because I love WV too. Just not as much as I love Alabama!

The stereotypes in Alabama are immensely exaggerated. On the topic of racism, just because someone owns a confederate flag, doesn't make them racist. My mother is black, and my father is white, and my father owns a lighter with a confederate flag on it. Everyone from Alabama isn't dumb. I have lived here my whole life, and I'm only fifteen; I'm POSITIVE that I am smarter than half of the people on here who criticize Alabama on how dumb the people here are, and then not spell half of their words correctly. Not even I like it here, but people still shouldn't stereotype a place they've probably never been to themselves. I've only met one family that was inbred, but people are stupid enough to do that everywhere. The football stereotype is probably the only true one. Football is HUGE here. Also, you say that people defend Alabama on here as a sob story, if people were constantly telling you how horrible you and everyone around you were, then you'd have something to say, too. Thank you, have a great day. :)

A place where you can grow up without getting up every morning to pay your parking meter and get stuck in traffic for 3 hours. A place where your kids can grow up in a small town where everybody knows everybody. A place where we are all family, we take care of each other. Alabama gets criticized everyday because we are so called "red necks" but we aren't. Sure we love fried chicken, have a southern accent, respect our elders, open the door for a complete stranger, carry groceries for a elderly person, visit our neighbors, love football, love NASCAR, take care of our family, and we like country music. But how does that make us a bad state? I'm proud to live in Alabama and I don't care who knows it!
Sweet Home Alabama!!!!!!

A place to live where you can die at the age of 93 and never see a horrible crime on TV. A state filled with polite people, with southern accents, and the hottest women in the united states. Great place to raise children, boring to live in. Has the best food around. State dish is Beans and 'taters.
I've lived in both california and alabama, and I know first hand california has as many rednecks as alabama, but california has more racism, and worse standards of living.

Alabama is a southern state squished between Mississippi and Georgia. There are a few nicknames for Alabama, such as: Yellow Hammer State, Heart of Dixie, and the Cotton State. It's motto is "Audemus jura nostra defendere," which is Latin for "We dare defend our rights."
The largest city (by land area) in Alabama is Huntsville, and the largest Metropolitan statistical area is the greater Birmingham area. Alabama was admitted into the union on December 14, 1819, it was the twenty second state to enter the union.
Alabama is considered to be an illiterate state, filled to the brim with incest and racist rednecks carrying guns. As you've probably already noticed, Alabama is a state with people in it. Like, real people. People that make decisions for them selves and their families. But, not every person in Alabama is the same.
Alabama does not have the best education system, but I've heard their working on it. Alabama is full of a lot of old people (I'm serious, I think the water is magic down there) and they still carry the same beliefs they were raised with. So yeah, the old people are a pretty racist so they raised their kids with severely biased opinions. But the generation of young people now aren't that bad, sure there are plenty of people with their own differing opinions, but that's their opinions not the whole population of the state.

Alabama is a state, just like any other state. It may not sound as exciting as California or New York. But, it's still pretty cool.
