Re: should I move to Alabama?
Posted by Faye on 1/19/07

    I think you are going to be pleasantly surprised. There are
    only a couple of small towns in Alabama I could not recommend for
    you to move. The big cities (Birmingham, Huntsville, Montgomery,
    Mobile)are pretty much like the cities you are from in this
    regard. Most rural areas (especially in south Alabama) have a
    large black population in which bi-racial children are the norm.
    If you are planning to move to a small town in north Alabama, I
    would suggest you check their web sites and note the
    demographics. If there are very few African-Americans in the
    town, I suggest you move elsewhere. Wish it weren't so, but alas
    there are a few prejudiced folks left (of both races, actually),
    and they seem to stick together in the same places.
    Good luck, and I hope you move and join us!
