The best people to ask are people of color in the area. You’ll get more accurate responses on the issue. A lot of white people want to talk for people of color. Plus’s some of these comments like “racism is everywhere” is fishy. I mean that is true, but why would a person of color want to live in a town where 90% of the residents are racist compared to another town that is only 5% racist. I’m mixed race and I told my white grandpa I was moving out of Missouri because I was tired of the racism. His response was “There is racism everywhere”. That right there was ignorant. First off I’m well aware there is racism everywhere. Second I’m also well aware that I’ve been to towns or areas where I had never been discriminated against, but other areas I had been badly discriminated against. Why would I or any person of color want to be in an area where 90% of people are ignorant 🙄.
You are smart to weigh all of your options. Everyone uses certain criteria in choosing a home. I hope you are settled where the chances of your skin color being an issue are very low. I have never understood how the color of a person's skin had anything to do with who they are. I am 67 and, grieve over how much racism there still is in the world.
@@denicestisher-howell3862 thank you! I want to live where people accept each other for who they are and embrace diversity. I’m tired of living in an area where there is a lot of hate and gaslighting towards certain people. The energy is very heavy. I want to be where people see the beauty in others.
My family and I are not like the rest of our community. Unfortunately, Cullman is still very much a hateful place. While it's no longer considered a "sundown town", it'd be inaccurate to say that racism isn't a huge problem here, especially with the older crowd. I've worked in many places in the area, and I have heard just absolutely horrible things from people who live here. Cullman does have good people in it, but it's definitely a mixed bag. It is a beautiful town, and we do have a lot of history. It's important to remember though that just because there are some bad eggs doesn't mean we all are.
You said you were headed to Holly Pond, and then Arab.. You came in off the West side headed East on HWY 278, but never even got out of the city limits when you abruptly turned onto the Auburn Horticulture Substation road and clumsily took a right on HWY 157 North....FYI - Holly Pond is EAST Cullman, approx. 13-14miles past downtown Cullman on HWY 278 EAST( consider the 4 way red-light where the police officer turned the heart of Cullman ). Your video was lackluster though scenic, with mere insinuations, or fictional statements based off various people's opinions only as your only information. Facts are statements that can be supported with research and tangible evidence. Of course, the 60s and even the 70s were tumultuous times, and racial inequality abounded ALL OVER THE SOUTH.. Those days - or people, are dead and gone. Hateful people are always a constant and are not defined by boundaries - or contained by towns. Fact - in the late 1990s, the so called "racist' folks in a Cullman township cut down an old oak tree that was RUMORED to be tied to racially motivated crimes in the 60s, and 70s. The younger generations of the community did not want to be viewed as being "proud" of, or carrying on such history - whether the rumor was true or not. Fact - Cullman held support rallies for change when George Floyd was murdered. Fact - almost 50% of students attending Wallace Community College - are non-whites. Fact - You, and those like yourself who continue to spread the message of racism continue to cast Cullman in an unwelcoming light - never acknowledging the changes the community have made. We have an AMERICAN Miss Alabama from Cullman- that is non- white... Cullman has had several Mayor's voted into office - that are not white. Additionally, here is a link to the HB56 Alabama Law you speak of: legiscan.com/AL/comments/HB56/2022 Ignorance spreads hate sir. Racism exists. Period. It knows no boundaries nor is it confined to exist in any specific town. You belong to the group of individuals who wish to carry this ill willed message forward. Here is the definition of Bigotry: "obstinate or unreasonable attachment to a belief, opinion, or faction; in particular, prejudice against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group." Your always welcome in our town. Why not spread a message of kindness, of Goodwill, rather than portraying the image of Bigotry. Fact - You have a choice. You can be apart of the solution - or you can be part of the problem.
Nicely written, I live here it he didn't do his research. Most little towns in the south in 50's back were probably like that all over the South. It was like that out West and up North as well. What's interesting is people always tie the south to racism. But the crimes and murders you here of aren't even in the south.
I worked at Walmart distribution for 15 year's and they sent they sent Walmart associates to different DC's to help them out but let me tell you something Walmart workers at the Cullman DC or some of the hardest workers you'll ever make and if you don't believe it you can take yourself and go right back out of Cullman cuz you're just trying to start trouble
Haha notice he doesn’t reply to comments like this one. “Ignorance spreads racism” pretty much sums up this entire video. Drove through and spouted a bunch of out-dated and pre-conceived notions without any effort to educate himself or challenge said notions. It never ceases to amaze me how many people seem to clearly have it in their minds that ONLY white people are capable of being racist. You will find just as many racist black people in places like Birmingham. That is all natural repercussions from the history of our state/region. But it’s no more evident in one race than an another. That’s not just a small town thing.
I’m African American I’m from Montgomery. I usually drive two hours everyday to work in Cullman. And it’s both true and false. 95% of the people I work with are white. And 60% are the sweetest people you’ll ever meet. But even the sweet ones are prejudice. They use words like that colored boy. Every black person we hired they found reasons to let go. Now there’s less then 5 in the whole facility.
So i lived in Millbrook. being latino, the blacks in Montgomery thought were some type of pinata they can rob and the racist police lets them. Thats why i LEFT ALABAMA.. because if I Stayed in Montgomery i was on my path to become a racist like all you guys. SCREW ALABAMA.. racist backwards state. took me over an year to recover from the mental damage i suffered living in Alabama. i came inches from becoming a racist in Alabama. That state isnt the only messed up place in America, but its close enough. Glad to be back in Florida. Life isnt easy here, but I can look at a mans character not his race living here. Be really careful up there, you know they never operate out in the open.
My parents bought a lakehouse down in Cullman, so I've been going down there often. I mentioned that to my boss (who is black) and he briefly told me about the history and racism in Cullman. If you didn't know, the name 'Cullman' comes from a confederate general. Cullman is a very racist place, and if you wanna know about it, you just have to ask the local black people, who won't go or spend money there.
@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS well I'm in my 20s, and I just learned about that yesterday. Yeah, I live under a rock, but anyways, I ain't gonna go up to some black guy and be like "I had a good time hanging out in Cullman yesterday 😃" anymore, lol.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGSI'm trying to learn more about the place now. Just learned about it, because I usually just ignore people in public, so I don't pickup on too much local lore.
I'm 71 and moved to Huntsville north of Cullman 47 years ago. Cullman indeed had a significant amount of whites who hated blacks in 1977 when I got here. Most of those people would have been Baby Boomers and older generations at that time. They didn't hide their hatred in fact they were proud of it. Now I'm not saying all from those generations were that way but it was shocking how many were.They may seem like the nicest people you'd ever meet to others like themselves but that wasn't the only side of them. I recall publicly held KKK rallys in nearby towns like Athens Alabama were a klansman in full dress white robes and cone hat stood in the main intersection of town directing traffic into the rally grounds. I also knew people in Huntsville from Cullman and they spoke very openly of their distain for blacks who they termed with the N word. I think much of the very overt things I've described here have eased greatly since those days. However many of those same people from then are still with us today. Have they changed more then just on the surface of things? Hopefully they have I'd like to believe. You have to realize the native population in this area among the generations I've mentioned are very conservative which means slow to change if at all. They are culturally proud as well and fear anything that threatens it. Fear is very dangerous when fueled by anger wether justified or unjustified real or imagined. I'm white so I'm not going to experience any drawbacks in Cullman if they still exist. I'm only going to have encounters with all the nice people they say that live there. And I have had encounters with nice people from Cullman very nice people. I hope that kindness extends to everyone. But my experience has seen the other side of things with my own eyes. I can't just ignore that and pretend it never happened. New generations may not adopt the negative factors from the old days gone by in Cullman. Yet some may not consider those to be negative factors either. I know there's still more then a few left from those old days and old times even in 2024. I'm 71 and have lived in this area decades and decades. I've lived here longer then many folks have even been alive, even ones entering into their fifties now. My eyes have seen a lot. I hope they see Cullman's past isn't it's present or future. Let me say this as well, it wasn't just Cullman we're kind of singling them out in this video. I do know many wonderful people from Cullman and never meant to suggest that everyone there from those days was a part of the bad old days of it's past. Nothing would be further from the truth.
I am an Alabama resident myself living on a farmland. I am glad you shared this as a fair warning. I had experienced racism a lot. I know what you are talking about. I had to withdraw from the Nursing program from the University of West Alabama because of racism. Plus they were cheating my test scores by randomly throwing out 5 questions on my nursing exam to shorthand me on purpose to fail me. I will be avoiding travelling at all costs for my mental health concerns due to being falsely accused of being mentally unfit and crazy.
My wife and I are looking to move to AL in the next few years from Florida. Looking at Cullman, Hartselle, Decatur, and Scottsboro for a location for our forever home. You may find that us moving OUTSIDE of Florida as being crazy but we have both lived here in Florida for about 20 years for each of us and we miss the seasons. We want to be closer to mountains. Thank you for your insight into this town.
Hell, even Huntsville has gotten bad now. My wife & I were attending a wedding at a Marriott & had cops called on us because the wedding party was predominantly white & we “looked suspicious”. Took the bride & groom BOTH threatening legal action & recording the incident against the Marriott & HPD for them to leave us alone. Still had our brand new car vandalized & spray painted “Illegals Go Home” the night after the wedding & the Marriott & HPD said they’d filed a report - and despite being parked in front of several cameras they say they didn’t see anyone doing it 🙄
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS that's a very backward statement, I live there with a black wife and we have never had any problems, people like you make the problems
Some of the comments that I'm hearing in this video are absurd. I've lived in and around Cullman all my life. I have friends that work at the Walmart distribution center; and even my brother worked there temporarily. They are not lazy, and they are not afraid of working. The problem with Cullman is that the pay has never been equal to surrounding areas. So, if there are more out of town workers at the distribution center, than locals, it may be that locals have opted to work in other areas. I personally work in Huntsville. Cullman would not be my first choice in job location. And there is going to be racism in every place. And even though Cullman has a bad history, it is NOT the same as it once was. I attend church in Cullman, and we have members of all shades of skin. WE ARE ALL THE HUMAN RACE. I'm so sick of people dividing Americans by their shade of skin. And judging an entire town, by the actions of few, is a problem. Cullman is a great town to raise a family, any family. The people are kind, hospitable, and overly friendly in most cases. Now, I'm not saying we don't have our bad days. And hopefully you don't run into anyone who has. But, stating that you should be inside before sundown is just absolutely ridiculous. There is no way to "explain" ourselves for what happened in the dark history that obviously the town is still stained by. But, in no way, is Cullman the same town as it used to be all those years ago.
And I don't assume anything. I've traveled the U.S. and lived in different places other than Alabama. The most "racist" places I've ever seen in my life was Philadelphia Pennsylvania. Give me anywhere in Alabama over that place.
@@allencollins9951 he lives in Florida now but he used to live in Alabama now knowing before renting the place that he lived in Alabama he knew there was a sex offender next door and he knew there was m e t h dealer next door and he was told by the people who lived there previously that it was a high stressful place to live but he decided to rent it based off his experience there because the man making the meth made a lot of noise all night long so he moved and hot-tailed it back to Florida so now he hates this state of Alabama but he sure is making a lot of money off the state of Alabama by videoing our state and also in one of his videos he made a comment about the clan still being in Alabama like I said I have lived in Alabama my whole 47 years alive and have never seen a Clans member these two are a full of crap
Now. He will just take what people say about Cullman and continue the smack talk lol I would rather get lost in cullman at night than Birmingham any day!
As an fyi: Cullman, Alabama was once a "sunset town", where blacks and some other minorities were not allowed after sundown until the 1970's. Its current population is 1.3% black, while Alabama as a whole is about 28% black.
@@sjb3460 I don't give a damn about politics, it doesn't put a dime extra in my pocket. I'm from Decatur, what I do know from my experience living other places all over the United States Cullman is a racist city. What you really mean is as long as the old ways keep blk people out. I know you want the old days of white sheets and confederate flag waving klansman bombing churches again. I miss living in a liberal state like Washington, zero state taxes to come out of my check. I quickly became a resident of the state of Washington while in the Army to avoid paying state taxes to Alabama. I paid less taxes, so those liberal policies paid off for me.
Cullman is the nicest most beautiful town and greatest city I have lived in. I have not ever once even witnessed racism or anything related to it on Cullman. Everybody who lives here is absolutely incredible.
My sister played soccer against cullman when she was in middle school. Her team and the guys team was mainly Hispanic kids. They got things thrown at their bus and got called racial slurs. This happened around 15 years ago.
I'm sorry Sir but your commentary for your trip to Alabama has been way off base. Perhaps you may have the problem. I don't live in Cullman but I have spent a lot of time traveling through and being there. As a younger man I traveled the U.S. doing remodels for a major chain. I can tell you for sure you are far safer there than most cities or towns in the U.S. Nobody owes you an explanation on life in Cullman. Why don't you get a room and stay a day or two instead of running around acting scared and verbally offending the residents of that town. I can promise you your perception and predetermined disposition would change. Your method of getting to know these places and then sharing with your audience literally consists of you driving around and making fun of everything you see. My advice would be pull up somewhere you feel safe introduce yourself. Let people know what you do ask questions. Don't just take 1 or 2 acquaintances word for it. Find out for yourself. Got a feeling your opinions will change and you'll grow as a person and a content creator.
No, for real. I’m from the north and I live here. There’s a ton of under the line racism, you hear the older white people say “the ghettos” “these black people” “these Mexicans”. It’s what I call southern racism, not just racism. They deny the racism and act like it doesn’t exist😭😭😭
I am cuban and they refuse to call me anything but a mexican just to be backwards. They dont black “black people” much in the part of Alabama I was in.. they have another term. I hated living there those people will have to answer to god
True story I'm from Brent Alabama and we stopped there not knowing nothing about the town till we got home we stopped at a gas station and those people were looking at us like they saw a ghost it was almost dark didn't know nothing about Cullman till we got home and they told us don't never stop there so I can believe it it's a sundown town
I have lived in cullman my entire life and it has never been like that. And it gets a lot of hate for no reason. Literally everyone is so sweet caring and kind. Just talk to people! Trust me 😊
Lies you people are so backwoods and ignorant. I worked for two years and ever single local I met was fat lazy and living off the system. Every house I worked on was infested with Roaches and it's like you guys have become accustomed to living with them. Like "they are just apart of the family now".
Cullman, AL has a population of 16 thousand people most of America has never even heard of Cullman. This is a wonderful small town we call it Gods country. You bring up sundown towns of the past let’s talk about sundown cities today. Chicago curfew no teens allowed in Millennial Park after 6 pm and no teens allowed out after 10pm every night. Philadelphia has a 10pm curfew, Jersey Shore 10pm curfew. D.C. has a 11pm curfew. These are all curfews made by black mayors to keep black teens out of areas.
Many people know that any true facts comments posted will be deleted....most people are locked up 8mo regardless of what their charges are...many are innocent but they can earn 2k a week in which most Cullman citizens can see that type of income...more jealousy than any other town in the world.
We moved here looking for a good place to raise a family. Been here almost 2 years and are now looking to relocate again. The town is nice, the people have been very unwelcoming and rude in our experience. I've talked to a few people who were new to the area that had the same expierence and were also already looking to move.
Ppl get on the internet & do not tell the truth because they want their city to look good. Yes,you do have Racist ppl in Cullman & u also have some mixed kid’s which that’s kind of funny. I had to train down there at the Denny’s for an UA & was not welcome by the yt manger & it showed very much. The employees were not like her which one was yt & the other one was mixed & they had an child together. They were very nice & they said that they go through a lot & that they was trying to move from down there! Those ppl are not welcoming & it’s something seriously wrong with them. It’s not right but that’s the way that they was raised. I pray for ppl like them. Some of those ppl are very hateful. If u think I’m lying send a black person down there to stay versus a yt one & let them tell u for their self!
Preach! I’m Hispanic & my wife is bi-racial (Cajun/White) & we went to the Denny’s to eat on our way back from NOLA. Had a couple of men in F150s roll up, surround our car (it was just us, and a couple of workers so it was obvious which car was ours), and came in & watched us til we got up & left before we even got to put in our food order. I believe one of the workers probably called as it wasn’t even 3/4 min after we sat down that they showed up.
I've lived right out side of Cullman for 15 years and I have met some of the nicest people. My neighborhood is a mix of several ethnic groups. We all get along, help each other out. Bake cookies, cakes and exchange gifts at Christmas . I'm sorry that we have such a bad reputation. I can't speak for the past, just my experience.
@@RenSako So you would feel right at home in Harlem then right? I left Alabama in the 60's because of economic reasons never to return, but I have witnessed everything this gentleman has described in virtually every country and State I lived which is several. All I heard from this guy was gossip.
@@Dave-ty2qp gossip is all this kind of stuff ever is, but the problem is people take it seriously, especially the people who aren't from here, cuz it confirms their bias that all white southerners are terrible people without giving us a chance at all.

50 years ago it was true about Cullman, Being that way but in the modern Era it's one of the most welcoming towns in Alabama! Most of the racism in the country graduated to major cities and northern states.
First time I was called the nword was at a red light in Alabama. They smile in your face and hate you when you turn your back. Being fake friendly does not mean we don’t know what yall are saying at the dinner table respectfully a non white person living in Bama.
That is a stretch… I lived in north Alabama for damn near a decade and I worked with a company that did jobs in Cullman. It might be one of the “most welcoming towns in Alabama” but it damn sure isn’t if you are black. You are flat out lying if you try to say there is not racism in Cullman… I’m sure it was worse back in the day (we all know about the sign) but it still exists today.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS in much of the North away from progressive cosmopolitan cities, and especially parts of the Midwest, actually many are trying to hurt people and can be especially racist in practice against Black residents in places like the Detroit or new Jersey suburbs, much of long Island etc. But there is just much less anti-Latino hatred up there then in the deep south! The blue collar and small town White Catholics of the north while conservative leaning are a lot more sympathetic to immigrant Latinos on average as are northern Blacks compared to Southerners especially white Southerners. Not true at all for treatment of Black population by same though!!! Racial profiling and race selective police brutality against Black (including afro Latinos!) citizens is actually worst in parts of the Northeast and almost as bad in the upper Midwest.
They had a billboard in the 90s saying "dont let the sun set on you here" people keep trying to make it out that it was back in great granpappys day. No they had unleaded gas.
I have lived here my whole life, I’m 45. I personally have never seen anything that you are describing. Racism is not based off of a whole town, it’s based off of someone’s personal thoughts or feelings that are ignorant because they were raised that way or because they just didn’t like someone because they look different than they do. News flash ! We all look different! We all act different! Who cares! No matter where you go your eventually going to meet someone who is racist. So no, Cullman is not like that, not to my knowledge.
You know Cullman is Klan country, stop lying lady. I'm from Decatur so tell me it's not , I met a guy while in the Army and he loved bringing up the grand wizard of the Klan lived down the street from him

Cullman is quiet but the point where you talked about the Walmart employees and being fired for actually being a great employee is the Gods honest truth! If you go to a drive thru here in Cullman and no one is in line or in the restaurant you will wait for over 15 minutes just because they do not want to take an order!!! This is everywhere here and the people pretend to be nice until you start asking questions then they become combative…..
I am from Cullman and live in cullman currently we do not need to explain ourselves we actually have expanding jobs and it’s okay to go out after dark here it could be better but it’s not the worst town or known for being the most hated lol
Its absolutely the most hated town and we have thousands of videos on our channel nowhere we have gone has stirred up so much emotions. People know what this town stands for and they say it.
@SOUTHERN LIFE Hate to break it to you but just because you had people comment on you video doesn't make it a fact lol You are low key racist. Try not to project your hate onto small towns👍 Everyone knows Donald Trump had a Rally here. Because outsiders who don't know how to do research, they think if you support him then you are automatically racist. That's simply ignorant to think that way👍
I lived in Cullman County or surrounding area all my life. There was no sign there in my life time. I never knew about it until I got married and moved to Blount County in 1976 and my mother in law told me about that sign. Cullman is a wonderful town. I still go there to shop, to eat or whatever. It’s a very nice place to live.I don’t know why it would be hated. Why are so many people moving to Cullman if it is so hated?
Because most of them are Yankee outsiders and Californians with extremely racist and conservative viewpoints but no one wants to bother mention that. Cullman is a "safe haven" for racist bigots and conservatives sadly. I for one moved the Hell out and was much happier. Place is like living in a Alt right circle jerk with shit healthcare services.
It’s not “people” moving to cullman. It’s white church going republican trump supporting white people. Not all of them are racist, but a lot of them are getter outed for being racist. So you take the good with the bad.
In 2022 Cullman is just like any other town with a melting pot of people that has people with good character traits along with some character flaws, with no race being exempt from either; granted some people exhibit more of one trait than the other. I have lived in Birmingham, Al for 2 years; Center Point, AL for 2 years; Hanceville, AL off and on for a total of 22 years; Clarksville, TN for 2 years; Elmira, NY for 10 years, and now for the past 28 years I’ve lived in the City of Cullman. I’ve traveled to Canada; Georgia, Maine, Texas, Washington D.C., Maryland, Colorado, Florida, and South Carolina along my travels I’ve met some people who are very accepting of people of a different race and some people who are very unaccepting of people of a different race, nor have the prejudiced people been limited to just one geographical location or one race. So no I haven’t found Cullman to be worse than any other place I’ve lived or traveled to.
I'm sure you can get people to make hateful statement when you are feeding them disinformation. People will look at you differently if they knew you spent time on jail for child molestation. Are you off of probation yet.
I have lived in cullman all my life and never have I ever treated people differently there is no color in cullman we are all the same it's a good town good people there is a lot of different races here now and no we treat people with respect this is a good town to live and yes its so much better here now thank you for showing this my town
I only rode through Alabama on the Greyhound Bus 8 years ago. My personal bucket list is to go through every state of the union possible. That time, I got to cross the deep south states off my bucket list. The Northern states like to point the finger at Southern States for bigotry, but they´re just as bad if not worse. For 2 years of my childhood, I went to elementary school in Elwood, IL outside outside Joliet city limits. I never felt so hated in my life.
Whole video seems off. Lived in Cullman my entire life. Born and raise. I'm 28 & have never once noticed even a slight bit of racism. And the whole lazy part is even more bizarre. Yea we've got our lazy people but it's mainly the younger generation. As far as the majority of our towns workforce I'd say it's downright as productive as any other towns. & just because "your friends" told you they had to be careful about how they "moved around" doesn't mean they really had too. They might of thought they had to because of ignorant videos such as this but in reality they didn't have anything to fear.
I have been doing a ton of research as I plan a move to Northern Alabama from Florida and this town looks so clean, up to date with nice restaurants and shops and the homes are well kept. Pretty sure towns like this with people moving to it more and more aren’t built by “lazy people.” I agree that comment was just bizarre.
I have lived in 17 other places. Atlanta, Memphis, Tampa and several "small" towns. This is nowhere near the most racist, nor the laziest, place I've lived in. I feel like a lot of people regurgitate stories they've heard without seeing proof. Kind of like what you're doing in this video. If you come into a town with preconceived ideas of what that town is today, based on issues that most Southern towns had 60, 70, 80 years ago, you're going to see things with a prejudiced view. I have no doubt that racism has been an issue in the past. (This was a country wide issue btw. Not just a southern thing nor just a Cullman thing) But to say that Cullman has a deep dark racist secret today is just false. But hey if people think this is the most hateful place in America maybe they'll stop moving here and all the dang road construction can stop.
these are not preconvinced notions.. i lived in Alabama.. met people form culman, and had friends work there. you aint gonna run that alabama story past me i done seen your folks with my own two eyes.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS “preconvinced notions” bro will you stop pretending to have a brain? Leave this type of work for people who are able to be objective, and actually care to learn about a place or experience it. All you’ve done is drive through and spread falsehoods.
“I have never seen, even in Mississippi and Alabama, mobs as hateful as I’ve seen here in Chicago,” King told reporters that day, stripping off his tie and vowing to continue demonstrating. “Yes, it’s definitely a closed society. We’re going to make it an open society.” This is a quote from the Los Angeles Times of Martin Luther King Jr. Have you ever read this before? Have you ever heard it on the evening news? I would suggest that you do some reading about history from new sources. Chicago and other northern towns worked through their race relations in the 1970s after Cullman and the south had worked through segregation in the 1960s. I have lived in Cullman most of my life. I was born here in 1960. The people of Cullman are God-fearing ,hard-working people. We have had some splinter groups that magnified our image as a sundowner town, but that is no longer true of Cullman. Cullman county elected a black man and a friend of mine, James Fields, to the legislature a few years ago. Your comments about Wallace State are based on your own prejudices. Governor Wallace established the schools all across the state to help the poor and minorities get an education and break out of the cycle of poverty. Governor Wallace apologized to the black community and they became friends. The Black people of Alabama supported him as governor for many years. As far as a peaceful place to live, Cullman has crime just like any place else in America but if you look at Huntsville Alabama and Birmingham Alabama you will find that the crime is far worse and the murder rate is far greater than Cullman. Prejudice exists everywhere. I think the black, hispanic and white people get along just fine here in Cullman, Alabama and I am proud to live here.
The towns racist. Stop denying it😭 not everyone is racist. Not every white person who lives here is racist but you can hear the ones who are. Talk to a few folks in town and ask them what they think of black people, just ask them. See what they say.
Is that why their are multiple ongoing and past lawsuits against your police department. Everywhere else in the US you cannot go to jail over a traffic violation, you go in and disagree with the lady behind the glass over a 5mph over speed limit ticket they will throw you in custody and fingerprint you. It’s a complete scam. Would never live here ever again. The rest of the country hates Alabama for good reason. Too many uneducated people. Cope harder
White guy and I’m not from cullman. I actually grew up going to a school in Alabama that was about 60/40 white/black ratio and we HATED cullman because we “thought” they were soooo racist. Moved here a few months ago and i was thoroughly surprised. You see tons of Hispanic and African Americans. Yes it’s majority white. But if this town is “racist” or a “terror” then why do these people live here? Yes the 70s existed and that past stuff happened. But man this is a great place. Can’t erase the past and there’s always idiots everywhere you go… but cullman is a wonderful place. Great place to raise a family no matter your race. My advice: Just like with anywhere, don’t believe all stereotypes. Just because it’s Alabama doesn’t mean we are ALL racist or uneducated. Some are, but that’s everywhere. Meet the people, talk to people. See what happens when you say something racist and how it is not tolerated like you may assume. I know you’re not hating on it in your video, but just saying this for anyone reading this.
Some of the most racist people I've know were New Yorkers. The city of New York has a form of natural segregation. Like the "birds of a feather" saying, the city has neighborhoods of Jews, and down the street two blocks, the population is Irish, then a little farther you step into a Puerto Rican population. They all tend to foster relationships with their own cultures. The West Side Story was a movie from the "50's, I think, but it was the same problem. I live in Alabama. I have had a black son-in-law, and mixed race grandchildren. Hate is too strong a word to describe the feelings between the cultures that exist today. There's enough division without false claims of bigotry or racism. People who make claims like "if you vote for Trump, you ain't black" are dividers, not unifiers. Jesse Owens came from a town not far from Cullman. Many in Alabama take great pride in Mr. Owens, blacks, whites, and everyone in between. As for myself, I don't identify with any ethnicity. Caucasian is a sub race. Human is my race. On a questionnaire for jury duty, I answered the questions on race in that way. They sent me home and neither side, prosecution or defense, wanted me on a jury.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS right but the police racial profiling in NYC is legend. Blue collar leaning White Catholic suburban long Island and Staten Island (NYC) communities are also especially notorious for their segregation and calling the police on Blacks they see in their neighborhoods including Black workers such as UPS drivers etc.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS You’re extremely asinine and not too bright at all. You think you know it all, and refuse to do research. Instead, relying on what others tell you, as fact. Hey, I can tell you bridges grow on trees. Does that make it fact.
Lived here for the past 50 years. Yes it was really bad up through the 80s. There was a march in the 80s with POC coming from Decatur to Cullman. The KKK told them they wouldn't enter Cullman county. I lived at the county line. We had to sit it out at Stuckeys until the police stopped the violent riot that broke out at the line. 4 lanes of pickup trucks were waiting with guns, chains & baseball bats. That was around 1980 and I was horrified as a child at what I saw. The black citizens still live in an area in the corner of the county named Colony. It's not as bad for black people since Mexican migrants have come here to work. They're talked about something awful. It's better now but has a long way to go. Our black friends in Birmingham still won't come to our house here. There's a lot of good hard working people here too though that aren't racist or bigoted. We are the minority. Lots of churches and lots of hypocrites. Up until about 10 yrs ago there were as many bootleggers as churches. Both enjoyed the same patronage quite often.
I grew up east of Birmingham moved to Cullman with my now fiancé that moved here from Pennsylvania in 2019. This area was new to both of us and we absolutely love it here! Our neighbors are great, we all communicate. I grew up hearing the stories of Cullman,but living here those stories are a thing of the past. I hope that cullman continues to go in the same direction. The schools here are great as well. I’m a sales consultant at Farmers Home Furniture and the amount of people moving here from ALL over is absolutely amazing! Though my family is much further south I do plan on being here for a long time. I cringed every time you said “most hated place in America“ I’ve never heard anyone say that before
Maybe it’s a thing of the past for you as a white person. But my people still feel everything your people have done to us, it’s still VERY racist in Cullman & Pennsylvania isn’t any better either. We are still not welcomed in a lot of places including Cullman.
We don’t talk like that also do not come into our city when you do not live here or from here and tell us how we are 🤦♀️ your literally the kind of people dont act like you know everything and before you come to someone’s hometown that you know nothing about and talk trash make sure your 100% perfect and your city is 100% perfect as well
I’m originally from Colorado but have lived in Alabama 19 years from gulf shores to now Huntsville and I worked for a large McDonald’s franchise in Alabama called Johnson partners who own 20+ and they would have to pay the workers from Huntsville extra to go to the cullman location and work that’s 1.5 hour trip ride time
i have been in cullman my whole life and my family and friends has been here all our lives. back then it may have been like that but it’s 2023 bruh like come on. cullman wasn’t the only place that was “racist”. you can’t judge just by what you hear or see. ever place has its past so i’m here to say from a local from cullman which i still live here, it’s no hate today. i’m not saying everyone is good but it’s not like 40+ years ago it’s 2023 so yeah. cullman isn’t bad anymore like it was
I lived in Huntsville Alabama for many years. I experienced car break-ins and stolen property. l hated it. I moved to Cullman three years ago and I love it here. I wish I would’ve moved sooner.
I have lived in Cullman since I was about 2 1/2 years old. There are definitely issues with this town. I never knew before a few years ago just how serious it was if you think that it’s bad being a visitor you should be one of the people who have lived here, your whole life, everyone here practically is Ken to other people asking people they protect each other at Alcast people lye about another person, just because someone in their family wants them to. They will make up all kinds of evil against you if you are not in the right circle years ago, the KKK was very thick here my personal opinion as they still are local law-enforcement and even judges here are tainted. They will do whatever they want to a person as long as they are in cahoots with the other are now understand why Cullman is hated this is the good old boy town yeah if you are one of the good boys, you can get away with anything and you can make someone else give up everything in their life, even their freedom because the good old boys will ensure it happens to them
Cullman is the best place I ever lived. Everyone nice respectful and friendly. I have been walking people asked if I need help or a ride. It's cheap clean and we are all proud Americans. If you come to Cullman and act respectful and kind you will receive the same in return. If you come starting trouble there will be trouble. Simple as that!!!
I lived their from 14-16 , always from Birmingham, I was the general manager of five guys that is closed now in cullman. I enjoyed my time in the city and met the best and most friendly people
its hard to take Jose stance on Alabama serious. he switched up too hard. went from the extreme of loving it, to the opposite end by hating everything about Alabama and the people there. Either way Jose, your opinion is wrong because you have been on both sides of the fence. You are an abrasive person and probably brought a lot of the hate onto yourself.
What are you trying to do? You say you want to start a conversation, but it seems to me that you expect me (someone from Cullman) to defend my hometown. You kept saying it was friendly and beautiful but then you also kept repeating insults and rude insinuations about our citizens. NO town is perfect or has a perfect past. Put Anytown, USA under the microscope and you will find much of the same. I HATE racism, sexism, any kind of "ism" that causes harm just like most folks. And just wondered if you realized you were just chilling and slowly cruising by "Wal-Mart Dist." while it was filled with people working and then you called those workers lazy?? Not cool. Constructional criticism can be beneficial but this feels a bit more passive aggressive.
Im hispanic and dont have any issues. There are hateful people everywhere but Ive been treated good. My husband is from LA and looks it - hes treated well. The people in Alabama are overall friendly. Whatever racism that existed back in the day isnt really the case from what Ive experienced. Black people are racist too - all people have the ability to be racist. I experienced more racism in Prescott, AZ than I ever have here. The Mayor of Cullman has put alot of effort into the community and Id say its a good place to live, work and visit.
Next time you come to Cullman, if you haven't already, try Duchess Bakery. And from that doughnut you will learn why people hate Cullman. Get the blue and white bag ones. You can't get that perfection anywhere but here.
Cullman is a great town! Every person is so kind. The schools are so nice, along with the kids in it! It’s easy to make friends there too. It’s just an average place. Teenagers in parking lots, average people walking around everywhere. Sure, at night it’s sketchy, but so is every place. Though, people are under paid as crap. Overall, it’s a nice, clean, town.
People are underpaid because they are illiterate, fail to uphold labor laws, and oppose unions. They only worry about gun control and abortion, abortion, abortion.
Astonishing lack of self awareness - you're white. Not even a passing mention noting that it's possible that your black neighbors might not have the exact same experience as you? Disappointing, but not at all shocking. Alabama being Alabama.
I have lived all my life, except for the 3 years I lived in Vacaville. But to help you understand things, yes there were signs that were at the mile markers on highway 65 at the northern and southern county lines. That I won't repeat what the words said, because I don't agree with them, but it was a warning to not be in Cullman when the sun went down. This was back in the 60s, and we all know the horrible history of the South in the 60s. But to address your questions as to whether the town has improved, the answer is yes. I have friends of other ethnicity, good friends, that are great folks. Like all towns you will find people that unfortunately are closed minded and are hurtful to other people. But, for the most part, we have advanced and there are so many kind and wonderful people that live here. There are several Latino families here now, I say Latino because I don't know for sure what country they are from, it doesn't matter though. They are hard working and kind. I treat people with respect, they treat me with respect, I do the same. People have come here to make a life for themselves and their families, nothing wrong with that. I would say, you should spend time here and get to know people, and don't base your opinions off what others say, no matter who they are. You will find lazy people everywhere, there will always be laziness. I personally can't stand laziness, I was raised to work hard and earn my way. No one deserves anything, you want something, you gotta work for it. No one owes me anything, I work hard and always have. I don't wait on someone to do it for me or give it to me. I go after it, anything gained by laziness is not earned, nor will it be of value. I value all that I have and I am thankful for it. As far as lazy people at Walmart, I have no clue, haven't worked there. But, like I said, there are lazy people everywhere. But, there many many more hard workers in this town. So, you asked I answered
If you know anything about Cullman you know that the railroad tracks run right through the center of town the signs were put on the railroad tracks at both ends to keep the hoboes out after dark and that's where they were and nowhere else. To see the signs you had to be on the railroad tracks and they were gone when I lived there in the early 70s.
Say what??? That’s title lol This is one of the cleanest, nicest places u could visit in Alabama. No doubt about it. Their sport facility is amazing and the people have never been unkind. Wondering if the poster lives anywhere around here. It’s funny to hear someone else speak about areas like this. It’s lovely in Cullman.
go read the comments on my last video in cullman you will see. than you cant even imagine all the comments i had to delete.. its definitely the most hated place i have ever done a video in
Your living in a bubble, the police corruption and lawsuits against the police department are insane. You have a corruption problem in hanceville Cullman. Food is terrible, too many uneducated people.
Loved the video I’m new to your videos here I was born and raised here I’m 31 and the reason I don’t work at Walmart is bc they have a terrible work environment and plus there’s better places that pay way better that’s my insight on the Walmart ordeal sir, As for the hate thing my aunt and cousins haven’t went through anything like that and there from India.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGSI’m sorry but your reply here just shows how closed minded you are. The commenter literally just said her family hasn’t complained of issues and your response is basically to tell her they’re lying. They MUST have it so bad because I’m too closed minded to believe otherwise! Sheesh. I am Puerto Rican and looking to move to Northern Alabama from Florida and it’s lame one season and unfriendly people, and I bet non of the area are as bad as you say. You just seem extremely negative.
Im from peru living in cullman almost 2 years now. Used to live in Tampa before. Nice small town, everything close early. Move here with mY wife and just had a baby and planning (for now) to raise her here. I don’t have any racial issues whatsoever. The only problem sometimes is picking up some words when people talk! LOL. Miss for sure all the accommodations of a big city but we’ll where not that far away of one of those (Huntsville or Bham)
Hello my name is Tammy I am 53 yrs old and have lived in Cullman 46 yrs of that time , I no longer live there thank goodness . I can honestly say all the hate is there , if a biracial couple comes in a store together they get stared down and most of the time are last to get waited on not only that but it is so much worse people treat you badly and tell you to go back to the colony. That's a place outside of Cullman where most black people live it is indeed a hated town not only for the color of your skin but for the job you have . If you don't have the best of the best the stores all treat you like you are trash ...
I've always lived in Birmingham until March of this year. I now live about 15 miles from the Walmart distribution center exit (304). I have limited experience in Cullman but, the Walmart just about a mile from the distribution center is my favorite Walmart of all time....no Walmart in Birmingham even comes close (both quantity and quality of the merchandise AND employees). I've also been to the movie theater twice just next door to that Walmart. I consider myself to be an anti-racist and I am also aware (maybe even hyper-aware) of racist and just generally ignorant speech and actions in others. Thus far, I've not had any negative experiences. I hope that continues to be the case. But it's alabama, so it's probably only a matter of time. ijs 🤷🏻♀️
@@commonsense4991 you’d think you’d be smarter by your username😭 republicans are just as corrupt as liberals. At least the liberals admit the history of racism in the USA. They might be Karen’s sometime, but the republicans just deny it😭 especially this small ass racist town. 😊
The game warden stop us every time we go fishing there so I just stop going. They see we don't do anything illegal they be letting others just exit the park but it's all good. I fish all over alabama anyways. 😊
Its hateful! 😐 Its pretty bad, if you're not religious don't bother even trying to live in this town.. Plus the people here are just plain rude as hell!! 😐
@@daviddubick6668 I don't think the religion thing is unique to Cullman, I'm in northern alabama, had a window lady come to the house to give me a quote and all she was trying to sell on was her church!
I’m from brewton Alabama. Not much there ; my entire family is from there. Very family oriented small town. Everyone knows everyone , however my experience in cullman was scary to say the least….. as a child my mom moved us to Montgomery, and Alabama, and it’s was absolutely horrible, and this was solely due to the crime rate. Our house was shot up and had only lived there for 2 weeks. My mom and half the family since then decided to come to Kansas. We reside in the capital of Kansas now ( Topeka Ks) and it is absolutely horrible here as well. My brother has already been shot, I’ve witnessed drive by shootings, ect…. It’s sad because you feel like it isn’t safe anywhere. You can’t live around racists, but it’s hard to live around your own as well, because with too many of us there all ways seems to be an issue. We can never get along.. people think of Kansas and think it’s cows, Dorothy, and corn fields, and it’s extremely ghetto here; as well as Missouri.
I have stayed a couple of summers with my aunt, n uncle in Vinemont, Al. Right next 2 Cullman. It's such a beautiful place, filled with wonderful people ❤
Although George Wallace hurt a lot of people with his policies and his public speeches, he helped a lot of people too. I know his good deeds don’t cancel out the bad ones, but everyone should know about the good he did for the state. At the beginning of his political career, he was one of the most liberal judges in Alabama. There’s a good story about a black farmer and his black attorney being disrespected in his court by some big shot white attorneys from Birmingham, and Wallace stopped the proceedings and told those two white attorneys that they better call the plaintiff and his attorney mister and supposedly the two defense attorneys got the message. I think it was the first time he ran for governor and he campaigned on improving public schools, improving and building new roads and bridges, etc while his opponent ran on a segregationist platform. Suffice it to say he lost that election and that was when he said that “he would never be outn******ed again.” So of course the next time he ran he ran as a segregationist and won and that was the start of something that hopefully we’ll never see again. A lot of people believe he personally never believed in segregation, but that he knew that was the only way he would be elected. One interesting thing about Wallace was that he was probably one of the very few that loved campaigning more than he liked actually being in office. Another fact which is pretty disturbing and pretty sick is that he and his wife’s doctor purposely hid her cancer diagnosis from her so she would continue running for governor so that he would be the de facto governor while she was in office. I believe back then Alabama’s governor could not serve two consecutive terms. He was close to going to prison in the early 70’s for receiving kickbacks, but he was able to get out of that by cutting a deal with Nixon where Wallace ran as Democrat instead of a third party candidate which would not threaten to cause Nixon to lose outright or have the election end up in the Democratic controlled House of Representatives if none of the candidates received a majority of votes from the electoral college.
I used to go to Cullman for work purposes from Huntsville. I never had a problem with Cullman and never heard of any issues. I've know a native American Indian from Cullman and he loved it. I've also been to Scottsboro and can say that's the only place I've seen yard signs proclaiming the KKK. Not a reflection of all the people there but of that house's occupant.
Im part native to an i can tell you thats something you tried to hide cause if any knew you have any even 1% native american blood you are definitely not treated well. My grandmother an great grandmother was full blood an all there lives they pretended to be white
I moved here 20 years ago. I am an ESL teacher I have worked with people here from all walks of life and it has not been like this described in the video for the 20 years that I have lived here. This is just stirring hatred that is long gone.
Umm as one of the people from out of state that works here in cullman i been black a long time i know racist energy is not hard to pick up if youve been black a long time im just gonna leave it at that
Ma’am you’re a white person Ofcourse you don’t feel or see anything because you’ve never experienced racism, I guarantee you ma’am that Cullman was and still is VeRY racist towards my people!
It isn’t long gone! My grandmother still remember using colored water fountains for god sakes, please stop acting like your people did these things so long ago! It really wasn’t! I have uncles that remember being hunted by dogs that were owned by whites racist!!!
@@reggiemoore21 trust me I know it’s a fact, these ignorant white people want to make it seem like it’s in the past and we need to get over it! NO WE WILL NEVER FORGET!!!!
My name is Amy Hood,I'm from Cullman Alabama, and I can say not everyone is like that anymore. I know the reputation of Cullman.but like everywhere else you have your good and your bad. I know everyone doesn't have the same experience in Cullman, but I would like to think we have grown as a town.
I’m black and I’m in cullman every day and honestly I would say it’s about 70/30. 70% of the people I encounter are friendly and respectful. The other 30% not so much. But I don’t automatically assume they’re all racist. Some people are just assholes. Most of the time people don’t pay me any attention. They just speak and keep it moving
I lived in Cullman many years ago when my husband worked the Bankhead National Forrest. It was a strange place. I was informed very early that any black person caught in Cullman after dark would be hanged. I am white but quickly decided I did not want to be there. I left and never went back.
I’m Mexican and been living in Cullman for 15+ years and love it here have went to city schools and county schools, never had an issue except for a few bad apples which you have them everywhere. But it’s a great place to live, great neighbors and awesome places to work. My Grandpa and aunt have visited from Mexico and everyone was nice and very welcoming to them even though they did not speak English very well.
Thanks for sharing! When i took my dad to Alabama I realized how bad the people in alabama were. Because my dad looks mexican.. i am white. when i saw the difference in how they treated him... i understood it was time to leave.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS yeah we look full blown Mexican. He even had on his outfit he wear at the rancho with his sombrero and everything and like I said everyone was extremely welcoming. Sorry your dad was treated differently
I have not heard of that since my late relatives lived there. This is one of the cleanest towns. Very little graffiti. Racism is a sin. Sin comes from humans who can sin all over world. Many different races live here including Russians. Nice people do live her. The decline in work ethic comes from a different generation than the one we see now. Sounds like you have prejudices before you ever came. Delete if you want but prejudices come from all sides. Cullman is Allright.
People who love living in a town that shuts down at 8pm....you are in the right place. If you love living where no dancing allowed, no live bands allowed, or any adult entertainment whatsoever...you are in the right place!
@@Codyflowers3cope harder. It’s pure trash. The police have multiple lawsuits for widespread corruption. Wow you guys have 1 festival. Your laws are archaic. You can still go to jail for a traffic violation, if you love mayonnaise on everything then the food is top tier . The college I have respect for, everything else is trash. You couldn’t pay me a million bucks to ever live there again
@@OneManCanStopTheMotorOfWorld you’re clueless. Cry some more. College isn’t even in Cullman which tells me all I need to know.. and we have several festivals.. and it’s great that you don’t wanna live here.
So I grew up in the house on the left at the 16:25 mark. We were the weird Yankee Pollack family on the edge of town that all the Baptists were trying to convert. We aren't Polish but our Russian family name looks Polish. My first and second grades were at the country school in Fairview, then went to Sacred Heart Catholic and then East Elementary and Cullman Middle School. We were regularly called Pollacks, Yankees (I was actually born south of Nashville) and then I was called all the variations of faggot when it became clear I'm gay (the other obviously gay kid in school killed himself about 10 years ago, then living in Huntsville). We moved North when I started high school. I'm now a civil rights lawyer doing racial justice work living in NYC so a long way from Cullman, mentally and physically. From the age of 6 to 14, I saw only 1 live black person, Virgil who was from the orphanage. There was a Vietnamese refugee family that our family was friendly with but they moved to California when the dad was threatened with a gun after leaving his job one day after work. I had a friend who proudly showed me the n***** hanging tree in his yard right before he showed me how to shoot a rifle (sorry David, I'm pretty sure that's not how you are today). The Mexican doctor's wife Lidia committed suicide because she was so lonely even though my mom tried to help her miss Mexico less. I actually loved growing up in Cullman, running around the woods barefoot building forts with my brothers, swimming across Smith Lake trying to avoid the water mocassins, catching lightning bugs at dusk on those endless summer nights where you can't hear anything but the crickets and buzzing bugs, eating bags of fried pork rinds from the flea market, old man farmer Pete next door who couldn't read and left us piles of vegetables from his garden all the time. I never knew how mostly effed up a place Cullman was socially until I moved away and learned that none of that other stuff was normal and how indoctrinated even my outsider family was.
Seriously? How old are you? I am 46 and was born in Cullman. None of those things are a regular thing. I just moved back after being in Tuscaloosa, AL for 19 years. Tuscaloosa is waaayyy worse than Cullman has ever been and there are people from all over the world in Tuscaloosa because of the University of Alabama. BTW, I am white with a black wife and NOBODY acts any differently when they see us. I also went to Wallace State Community College before I went to the University of Alabama. I had teammates on the track team that were from all over this country as well as other parts of the world, especially the Caribbean. None of them had any issues either.
I have lived in Cullman for 8 years now having moved from Birmingham - Jefferson county area. i now live within a mile from downtown Cullman. Go to Church here and walk my dog early and late every day. There is very little crime here. People and businesses are moving here from all over . Value of homes and land have gone crazy since i moved here. You also say in another video don't buy land in Alabama ? If there are haters in Cullman ? They might be gone when you left the City limits of Cullman !
You know, I recently moved to Birmingham and a bunch of people told me that I should never go to Cullman, in fact that was one of the first thing they mentioned
i live in cullman and in my experience this isn’t true for the most part. some of the more elderly people are racist, but many of them are too old to do anything but for the most part cullman is a good city
@@lilcourtny08 I grew up almost my entire life in an almost all white area in Alabama. Rebel Flags flying everywhere. I know live in Cullman and work in Birmingham. I'm friends with plenty of black people at my job in bham. So all that racist stuff is Bullsht for the most part.
Safe for white people caucasians welcome n to whites I didn't hear you say anything about welcoming to all people Safe for all people that tells me everything right there
This video would have made more sense if you would have stopped places and seen the people. I am not from Alabama so I would never judge someone solely based on a video of a northerner judging for 24 minutes. Show some not welcome signs, white only signs, or something showing facts. Northerners can be the most racist people they just hide it more often. Have you not noticed that in northern states races seem to be more segregated? You also forgot to mention that sundown towns are everywhere not only in southern states.
Cullman is a wonderful town. I was born and raised there and only moved away 20 years ago due to a job in Florida. I am now retiring and hope to move back to Cullman to retire. The town is clean, beautiful churches and good people over all.
No it’s not, Cullman is pure trash and people who think they are gods gift to earth as long they have a lifted truck. Most people I knew got their education and left and never came back even after Covid lol.
Cullman has changed a ton since the "sundown town" days. I graduated with multiple colored people from Cullman and the color of their skin was not an issue. I now live in Decatur and have have witnessed more predjudices here. There are good local workers but in all honesty drugs have become an issue in the area over the past few years. Cullman also has some of the lowest payed wages in the area when it comes to plant work, alot of the better workers have decided to move or commute to larger cities that pay more.
I have lived in Cullman for years and it’s an awesome place to live and raise a family! There is no more racism here than anywhere else I’ve been! I have friends of many different races and backgrounds and they are not afraid of “being out after dark”. “Most hated town in America”??? That’s extreme! This town is actually referred to as a “Hallmark Town” by many. Sounds like you’re listening to the opinions of people who don’t live here and have no clue what they are talking about!
First, i have done videos in 3500 towns for ny channel.. its the most hated town i read the comments daily. Bless your heart if you have not been to a less racist place. Greetings from kendall a rich latino area of miami.
We moved here from California and have not once witnessed behavior from the past. With time, people evolve, everywhere. People here are so kind, welcoming and I would NEVER EVER live in a gangrened city like Bakersfield, California again. Put a supposedly liberal, open city, from a liberal state, next to Cullman. Which one is better? My husband is Hispanic, and looks Hispanic, and has never had an issue. He worked in the field, meeting 100s of people weekly. No issues. We went to the water park in Cullman this summer. No issues. All races and sizes and everyone was having fun. It's hard to truly know how some residents feel if you delete them.
one day the alabama honey moon will be OVER... and you will be in FEAR for your life. Enjoy that while it LAST. I rather be homeless in Florida or California than in a mansion in Alabama and i stand behind those words, I actually left my house empty and came homless to Florida just to escape alive. Keep thinking its sweat... know this tho, the murder rate for THE WHOLE STATE OF ALABAMA is higher than OAKLAND, the worst city in CALIFORNIA. Theres more gangs in Birmingham than in Bakersfield. At least in Bakersfield they can hang out in their hood... in Birmingham with a murder rate 5X higher than Bakersfield your not gonna stand around too long. I seen the worst parts of Bakersfield and let me tell you, its aint CRAP compared to the violence in Birmingham or Montgomery. I LIVED there, like I said, one day the honeymoon will be over.. and you will come back to this video. in fact its DANGEROUS that you are completely unaware of the danger your in. WAKE UP, those people will eliminate you from the list of the living and your so slow you will think it was an accient.
I would like to hear directly from the made up friend that gave you all the inside secrets and info on Cullman. Get him on your channel. Damm I hate you didn't look Hispanic enough to get the hate you were looking for.
Having lived near Cullman all my life I am aware of the fact that it used to be a very racial town where blacks were afraid to be after sundown. I remember my Grandfather telling me a story about that when he said that when the farmers came to town by wagon to get supplies and trade their "blacks" would come with them but were told to stay in the wagons and not ramble around. I detest that phrase "their blacks" but in reality that was the way it was back then. I heard more stories later on but it seems that Cullman has completely changed since those days. BTW, Cullman was founded by Germans and still has a strong German presence.
Don't knock the place until you try the place! Why don't you move there for a while and then give your honest opinion on the subject matter you are looking for! Hear say is just that, first hand experience beats that any day!
Low crime, tax dollars are used to upgrade city school system, it’s clean, close to the interstate, located between both major cities, Birmingham and Huntsville, affordable homes. Yes the job opportunities are low but if you want affordable housing and commute to either major cities it is perfectly doable everyday. As far as the racist comments go I am a white male so I can’t comment on that, due to not being able to experience being any other race. I will say I have traveled all of the world and lived in other states and there is racism/tribalism everywhere. I have had to quit talking to friends everywhere Iv lived due to their ignorant ideology and no they were not just white.
I lived here my whole life, I’m 48 years old, if you’re curious that this is still a sundown town, I’d invite you to come out when the sun is down and start walking around the town
I grew up here. I have traveled in many of the states. Lived basically in New Mexico about 8m and visited surrounding states. I lived in Jefferson county for 2yrs and was very careful who I told where I was from because of the hate towards our town. Now I saw more racist in the southwest as of current day than our area. We have have changed greatly in this used to be small town. We have had an influx of people to move to the area in the past 10 to 15 years so it can't be that bad. Yea just as anywhere you will come across people who still are racist but as a whole we are not. We are not lazy as a whole. Walmart distribution has a bad rep or is not the greatest place to work. We have many great plants here with great pay and benefits now. And those who work there work very hard. Now with all that said I have experience discrimination just because I am from here and people assume that I am racist. And I am not. Also our current leadership of the great nation is trying to cause division in our country in all states. We really need to unite right now as people instead all this division. Because united we stand devided we fall. With this division in the nation we are slowly loosing our rights and freedom. Think on that.
And oh if you want a true picture of us. Get out of your car and do some interviews. Find out what the people are about in this town. People need to remember there is still a sundown town in Texas. Maybe that needs to be a focal point.
The "current leadership"? Are you serious? Trump is the one who encouraged racist Proud Boys, who disparaged Mexicans, who continually said and implied that people who weren't naturally American, ie, white people, were not to be let in the country. Good grief, educate yourself instead of listening to Fox News.
I work in Cullman. It's a chill small town, and its growing. Great place to move, especially if you want to raise a family. Cullman isn't hateful nor is it hated (at least not by people who live in the area or know anything about it). It hasn't been a sundown town for decades and there's no more racism here than anywhere else. If you're someone who believes Cullman is racist, please don't move here and bring that poison with you.
A lot of prejudice people are covert… they’ll never admit it. BUT behind closed doors…..
You nailed it. 😊

The best people to ask are people of color in the area. You’ll get more accurate responses on the issue. A lot of white people want to talk for people of color.
Plus’s some of these comments like “racism is everywhere” is fishy. I mean that is true, but why would a person of color want to live in a town where 90% of the residents are racist compared to another town that is only 5% racist.
I’m mixed race and I told my white grandpa I was moving out of Missouri because I was tired of the racism. His response was “There is racism everywhere”. That right there was ignorant. First off I’m well aware there is racism everywhere. Second I’m also well aware that I’ve been to towns or areas where I had never been discriminated against, but other areas I had been badly discriminated against. Why would I or any person of color want to be in an area where 90% of people are ignorant 🙄.
You are smart to weigh all of your options. Everyone uses certain criteria in choosing a home. I hope you are settled where the chances of your skin color being an issue are very low. I have never understood how the color of a person's skin had anything to do with who they are. I am 67 and, grieve over how much racism there still is in the world.
@@denicestisher-howell3862 thank you! I want to live where people accept each other for who they are and embrace diversity. I’m tired of living in an area where there is a lot of hate and gaslighting towards certain people. The energy is very heavy. I want to be where people see the beauty in others.
Don't hold your breath on that one lol
@Soul2deep Cullman is a great little town. Rent is expensive tho😐
@@briangreen256How much is your rent?
My family and I are not like the rest of our community. Unfortunately, Cullman is still very much a hateful place. While it's no longer considered a "sundown town", it'd be inaccurate to say that racism isn't a huge problem here, especially with the older crowd. I've worked in many places in the area, and I have heard just absolutely horrible things from people who live here. Cullman does have good people in it, but it's definitely a mixed bag. It is a beautiful town, and we do have a lot of history. It's important to remember though that just because there are some bad eggs doesn't mean we all are.
Factual information 😌
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO IS WHITE AND HONEST. SMH
Idk what you’re talking about. I’ve lived in cullman my whole life and I have never experience any racism whatsoever.
How many people was arrested at the 2022 Rock the South, please let me know, thank you.
You said you were headed to Holly Pond, and then Arab..
You came in off the West side headed East on HWY 278, but never even got out of the city limits when you abruptly turned onto the Auburn Horticulture Substation road and clumsily took a right on HWY 157 North....FYI - Holly Pond is EAST Cullman, approx. 13-14miles past downtown Cullman on HWY 278 EAST( consider the 4 way red-light where the police officer turned the heart of Cullman ).
Your video was lackluster though scenic, with mere insinuations, or fictional statements based off various people's opinions only as your only information. Facts are statements that can be supported with research and tangible evidence.
Of course, the 60s and even the 70s were tumultuous times, and racial inequality abounded ALL OVER THE SOUTH.. Those days - or people, are dead and gone. Hateful people are always a constant and are not defined by boundaries - or contained by towns. Fact - in the late 1990s, the so called "racist' folks in a Cullman township cut down an old oak tree that was RUMORED to be tied to racially motivated crimes in the 60s, and 70s. The younger generations of the community did not want to be viewed as being "proud" of, or carrying on such history - whether the rumor was true or not.
Fact - Cullman held support rallies for change when George Floyd was murdered.
Fact - almost 50% of students attending Wallace Community College - are non-whites.
Fact - You, and those like yourself who continue to spread the message of racism continue to cast Cullman in an unwelcoming light - never acknowledging the changes the community have made.
We have an AMERICAN Miss Alabama from Cullman- that is non- white... Cullman has had several Mayor's voted into office - that are not white.
Additionally, here is a link to the HB56 Alabama Law you speak of: legiscan.com/AL/comments/HB56/2022
Ignorance spreads hate sir. Racism exists. Period. It knows no boundaries nor is it confined to exist in any specific town. You belong to the group of individuals who wish to carry this ill willed message forward.
Here is the definition of Bigotry: "obstinate or unreasonable attachment to a belief, opinion, or faction; in particular, prejudice against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group."
Your always welcome in our town. Why not spread a message of kindness, of Goodwill, rather than portraying the image of Bigotry.
Fact - You have a choice. You can be apart of the solution - or you can be part of the problem.
Fucking preach!
Nicely written, I live here it he didn't do his research. Most little towns in the south in 50's back were probably like that all over the South. It was like that out West and up North as well. What's interesting is people always tie the south to racism. But the crimes and murders you here of aren't even in the south.
I worked at Walmart distribution for 15 year's and they sent they sent Walmart associates to different DC's to help them out but let me tell you something Walmart workers at the Cullman DC or some of the hardest workers you'll ever make and if you don't believe it you can take yourself and go right back out of Cullman cuz you're just trying to start trouble
You said everything I came to say, nice.
Haha notice he doesn’t reply to comments like this one.
“Ignorance spreads racism” pretty much sums up this entire video. Drove through and spouted a bunch of out-dated and pre-conceived notions without any effort to educate himself or challenge said notions.
It never ceases to amaze me how many people seem to clearly have it in their minds that ONLY white people are capable of being racist. You will find just as many racist black people in places like Birmingham. That is all natural repercussions from the history of our state/region. But it’s no more evident in one race than an another. That’s not just a small town thing.
I’m African American I’m from Montgomery. I usually drive two hours everyday to work in Cullman. And it’s both true and false. 95% of the people I work with are white. And 60% are the sweetest people you’ll ever meet. But even the sweet ones are prejudice. They use words like that colored boy. Every black person we hired they found reasons to let go. Now there’s less then 5 in the whole facility.
So i lived in Millbrook. being latino, the blacks in Montgomery thought were some type of pinata they can rob and the racist police lets them. Thats why i LEFT ALABAMA.. because if I Stayed in Montgomery i was on my path to become a racist like all you guys. SCREW ALABAMA.. racist backwards state. took me over an year to recover from the mental damage i suffered living in Alabama. i came inches from becoming a racist in Alabama. That state isnt the only messed up place in America, but its close enough. Glad to be back in Florida. Life isnt easy here, but I can look at a mans character not his race living here. Be really careful up there, you know they never operate out in the open.
Where u work
My parents bought a lakehouse down in Cullman, so I've been going down there often. I mentioned that to my boss (who is black) and he briefly told me about the history and racism in Cullman. If you didn't know, the name 'Cullman' comes from a confederate general.
Cullman is a very racist place, and if you wanna know about it, you just have to ask the local black people, who won't go or spend money there.
Its not a secret
@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS well I'm in my 20s, and I just learned about that yesterday. Yeah, I live under a rock, but anyways, I ain't gonna go up to some black guy and be like "I had a good time hanging out in Cullman yesterday 😃" anymore, lol.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGSI'm trying to learn more about the place now. Just learned about it, because I usually just ignore people in public, so I don't pickup on too much local lore.
The name came from the founder who was a German businessman/refugee. He wanted to avoid the American Civil War to set up his own German colony.
I'm 71 and moved to Huntsville north of Cullman 47 years ago. Cullman indeed had a significant amount of whites who hated blacks in 1977 when I got here. Most of those people would have been Baby Boomers and older generations at that time. They didn't hide their hatred in fact they were proud of it. Now I'm not saying all from those generations were that way but it was shocking how many were.They may seem like the nicest people you'd ever meet to others like themselves but that wasn't the only side of them. I recall publicly held KKK rallys in nearby towns like Athens Alabama were a klansman in full dress white robes and cone hat stood in the main intersection of town directing traffic into the rally grounds. I also knew people in Huntsville from Cullman and they spoke very openly of their distain for blacks who they termed with the N word. I think much of the very overt things I've described here have eased greatly since those days. However many of those same people from then are still with us today. Have they changed more then just on the surface of things? Hopefully they have I'd like to believe. You have to realize the native population in this area among the generations I've mentioned are very conservative which means slow to change if at all. They are culturally proud as well and fear anything that threatens it. Fear is very dangerous when fueled by anger wether justified or unjustified real or imagined. I'm white so I'm not going to experience any drawbacks in Cullman if they still exist. I'm only going to have encounters with all the nice people they say that live there. And I have had encounters with nice people from Cullman very nice people. I hope that kindness extends to everyone. But my experience has seen the other side of things with my own eyes. I can't just ignore that and pretend it never happened. New generations may not adopt the negative factors from the old days gone by in Cullman. Yet some may not consider those to be negative factors either. I know there's still more then a few left from those old days and old times even in 2024. I'm 71 and have lived in this area decades and decades. I've lived here longer then many folks have even been alive, even ones entering into their fifties now. My eyes have seen a lot. I hope they see Cullman's past isn't it's present or future. Let me say this as well, it wasn't just Cullman we're kind of singling them out in this video. I do know many wonderful people from Cullman and never meant to suggest that everyone there from those days was a part of the bad old days of it's past. Nothing would be further from the truth.
I am an Alabama resident myself living on a farmland. I am glad you shared this as a fair warning. I had experienced racism a lot. I know what you are talking about. I had to withdraw from the Nursing program from the University of West Alabama because of racism. Plus they were cheating my test scores by randomly throwing out 5 questions on my nursing exam to shorthand me on purpose to fail me. I will be avoiding travelling at all costs for my mental health concerns due to being falsely accused of being mentally unfit and crazy.
My wife and I are looking to move to AL in the next few years from Florida. Looking at Cullman, Hartselle, Decatur, and Scottsboro for a location for our forever home. You may find that us moving OUTSIDE of Florida as being crazy but we have both lived here in Florida for about 20 years for each of us and we miss the seasons. We want to be closer to mountains. Thank you for your insight into this town.
Alabama folks are backwards. I lived there know first hand. Land near huntsville for more up to date mindsets. Scottsboro is quiet and has everything
Hell, even Huntsville has gotten bad now. My wife & I were attending a wedding at a Marriott & had cops called on us because the wedding party was predominantly white & we “looked suspicious”. Took the bride & groom BOTH threatening legal action & recording the incident against the Marriott & HPD for them to leave us alone. Still had our brand new car vandalized & spray painted “Illegals Go Home” the night after the wedding & the Marriott & HPD said they’d filed a report - and despite being parked in front of several cameras they say they didn’t see anyone doing it 🙄

Great video !
We're hoping you can make it down here to Vidor Texas, where the sun down town is very much alive and well in 2024 !
I did a video in vidor. Its really run down and trashy compared to cullman
Some of the comments that I'm hearing in this video are absurd. I've lived in and around Cullman all my life. I have friends that work at the Walmart distribution center; and even my brother worked there temporarily. They are not lazy, and they are not afraid of working. The problem with Cullman is that the pay has never been equal to surrounding areas. So, if there are more out of town workers at the distribution center, than locals, it may be that locals have opted to work in other areas. I personally work in Huntsville. Cullman would not be my first choice in job location. And there is going to be racism in every place. And even though Cullman has a bad history, it is NOT the same as it once was. I attend church in Cullman, and we have members of all shades of skin. WE ARE ALL THE HUMAN RACE. I'm so sick of people dividing Americans by their shade of skin. And judging an entire town, by the actions of few, is a problem. Cullman is a great town to raise a family, any family. The people are kind, hospitable, and overly friendly in most cases. Now, I'm not saying we don't have our bad days. And hopefully you don't run into anyone who has. But, stating that you should be inside before sundown is just absolutely ridiculous. There is no way to "explain" ourselves for what happened in the dark history that obviously the town is still stained by. But, in no way, is Cullman the same town as it used to be all those years ago.
it is interesting to see how people from Alabama assume its as racist everywhere else as it is there. SMH
And I don't assume anything. I've traveled the U.S. and lived in different places other than Alabama. The most "racist" places I've ever seen in my life was Philadelphia Pennsylvania. Give me anywhere in Alabama over that place.

I'm sorry Sir but your commentary for your trip to Alabama has been way off base. Perhaps you may have the problem. I don't live in Cullman but I have spent a lot of time traveling through and being there. As a younger man I traveled the U.S. doing remodels for a major chain. I can tell you for sure you are far safer there than most cities or towns in the U.S. Nobody owes you an explanation on life in Cullman. Why don't you get a room and stay a day or two instead of running around acting scared and verbally offending the residents of that town. I can promise you your perception and predetermined disposition would change. Your method of getting to know these places and then sharing with your audience literally consists of you driving around and making fun of everything you see. My advice would be pull up somewhere you feel safe introduce yourself. Let people know what you do ask questions. Don't just take 1 or 2 acquaintances word for it. Find out for yourself. Got a feeling your opinions will change and you'll grow as a person and a content creator.
No, for real. I’m from the north and I live here. There’s a ton of under the line racism, you hear the older white people say “the ghettos” “these black people” “these Mexicans”. It’s what I call southern racism, not just racism. They deny the racism and act like it doesn’t exist😭😭😭

Cullman, AL has a population of 16 thousand people most of America has never even heard of Cullman. This is a wonderful small town we call it Gods country. You bring up sundown towns of the past let’s talk about sundown cities today. Chicago curfew no teens allowed in Millennial Park after 6 pm and no teens allowed out after 10pm every night. Philadelphia has a 10pm curfew, Jersey Shore 10pm curfew. D.C. has a 11pm curfew. These are all curfews made by black mayors to keep black teens out of areas.
People are never out past 9:30pm due to the crooked system, it's locked down at 9pm. Who wants to live like this?
Many people know that any true facts comments posted will be deleted....most people are locked up 8mo regardless of what their charges are...many are innocent but they can earn 2k a week in which most Cullman citizens can see that type of income...more jealousy than any other town in the world.
So many are very SCAREd to comment. Love your channel.
That’s completely false lol
We moved here looking for a good place to raise a family. Been here almost 2 years and are now looking to relocate again. The town is nice, the people have been very unwelcoming and rude in our experience. I've talked to a few people who were new to the area that had the same expierence and were also already looking to move.
Ppl get on the internet & do not tell the truth because they want their city to look good. Yes,you do have Racist ppl in Cullman & u also have some mixed kid’s which that’s kind of funny. I had to train down there at the Denny’s for an UA & was not welcome by the yt manger & it showed very much. The employees were not like her which one was yt & the other one was mixed & they had an child together. They were very nice & they said that they go through a lot & that they was trying to move from down there! Those ppl are not welcoming & it’s something seriously wrong with them. It’s not right but that’s the way that they was raised. I pray for ppl like them. Some of those ppl are very hateful. If u think I’m lying send a black person down there to stay versus a yt one & let them tell u for their self!
Preach! I’m Hispanic & my wife is bi-racial (Cajun/White) & we went to the Denny’s to eat on our way back from NOLA. Had a couple of men in F150s roll up, surround our car (it was just us, and a couple of workers so it was obvious which car was ours), and came in & watched us til we got up & left before we even got to put in our food order. I believe one of the workers probably called as it wasn’t even 3/4 min after we sat down that they showed up.
I've lived right out side of Cullman for 15 years and I have met some of the nicest people. My neighborhood is a mix of several ethnic groups. We all get along, help each other out. Bake cookies, cakes and exchange gifts at Christmas .

now that 24 7 part, does that included LOL JK -
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS for y'all to feel so unsafe in Alabama y'all continue to keep coming here and making videos so apparently is not unsafe and I find it appalling in the video of you and Katie and Anniston Alabama and she made the comment there must not be dentist and Anniston Alabama because most people in Alabama don't have teeth and y'all made that assumption off of going to the poorest areas of Anniston Alabama well let me ask you y'all must not have many diet doctors in Florida where y'all live and y'all have apparently never heard of Weight Watchers yes I seen the pictures of y'all on your four wheelers and please for the love of animals do not get on no animals and ride them that would be animal cruelty and by the way Katie you may have teeth but you need some work done on your teeth they are yellow and nasty looking and I know what y'all are going to say oh she's just hating no I am Telling You facts honey and the Ocala Florida video at night time y'all made Ocala Florida look so great it is not a great area it is very dangerous there so y'all are making these videos to paint a picture of how you want to paint them I challenge you to go to the worst and highest crime cities in your state of Florida
You can't talk the racist out of him. I live here too so I get what you were saying 👍
50 years ago it was true about Cullman, Being that way but in the modern Era it's one of the most welcoming towns in Alabama! Most of the racism in the country graduated to major cities and northern states.
the north people think they are a higher social class but they are not trying to hurt you like in the south... its not even the same bandwidth..
Dude this southern life guy has no idea haha
First time I was called the nword was at a red light in Alabama. They smile in your face and hate you when you turn your back. Being fake friendly does not mean we don’t know what yall are saying at the dinner table respectfully a non white person living in Bama.
That is a stretch… I lived in north Alabama for damn near a decade and I worked with a company that did jobs in Cullman. It might be one of the “most welcoming towns in Alabama” but it damn sure isn’t if you are black. You are flat out lying if you try to say there is not racism in Cullman… I’m sure it was worse back in the day (we all know about the sign) but it still exists today.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS in much of the North away from progressive cosmopolitan cities, and especially parts of the Midwest, actually many are trying to hurt people and can be especially racist in practice against Black residents in places like the Detroit or new Jersey suburbs, much of long Island etc. But there is just much less anti-Latino hatred up there then in the deep south! The blue collar and small town White Catholics of the north while conservative leaning are a lot more sympathetic to immigrant Latinos on average as are northern Blacks compared to Southerners especially white Southerners. Not true at all for treatment of Black population by same though!!! Racial profiling and race selective police brutality against Black (including afro Latinos!) citizens is actually worst in parts of the Northeast and almost as bad in the upper Midwest.
They had a billboard in the 90s saying "dont let the sun set on you here" people keep trying to make it out that it was back in great granpappys day. No they had unleaded gas.
I have lived here my whole life, I’m 45. I personally have never seen anything that you are describing. Racism is not based off of a whole town, it’s based off of someone’s personal thoughts or feelings that are ignorant because they were raised that way or because they just didn’t like someone because they look different than they do. News flash ! We all look different! We all act different! Who cares! No matter where you go your eventually going to meet someone who is racist. So no, Cullman is not like that, not to my knowledge.
You cant preach that trash to me.. I actually lived in Alabama and seen your ways. Before i lived in Alabama… i would have believed you
You know Cullman is Klan country, stop lying lady. I'm from Decatur so tell me it's not , I met a guy while in the Army and he loved bringing up the grand wizard of the Klan lived down the street from him
Once again another white person claiming there’s no racism in Cullman, where are the black people that live in Cullman?
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS You want to be a victim so you'll always be a victim.
@@erad3035 Show me that you listen exclusively to Fox News without telling me you listen to Fox News. The whole blame-the-victim thing is one of their specialties.
I would like to see experiences of black and brown people in the comment section!!
They email me privately. Theres a story or two
hi i am a local i have lived here a year now and I am moving as soon as possible if you think of anything that is wrong corrupt or dysfunctional it is Cullman Alabama I am a humble person and I am thankful but living here will make anyone miserable
you become like them if you stay. come to a beach town another vibe
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS not staying in Cullman! I am actively searching for a place in a whole other state! I thought about the beach BUT I am a single mom and even though I love the beach it is to fast and touristy for me! I like quiet and calm areas which is why I picked Cullman. Cullman is quiet but the point where you talked about the Walmart employees and being fired for actually being a great employee is the Gods honest truth! If you go to a drive thru here in Cullman and no one is in line or in the restaurant you will wait for over 15 minutes just because they do not want to take an order!!! This is everywhere here and the people pretend to be nice until you start asking questions then they become combative…..
I am from Cullman and live in cullman currently we do not need to explain ourselves we actually have expanding jobs and it’s okay to go out after dark here it could be better but it’s not the worst town or known for being the most hated lol
Its absolutely the most hated town and we have thousands of videos on our channel nowhere we have gone has stirred up so much emotions. People know what this town stands for and they say it.
@SOUTHERN LIFE Hate to break it to you but just because you had people comment on you video doesn't make it a fact lol You are low key racist. Try not to project your hate onto small towns👍 Everyone knows Donald Trump had a Rally here. Because outsiders who don't know how to do research, they think if you support him then you are automatically racist. That's simply ignorant to think that way👍
Am black and I have always heard this was a sundown town and the most racists town ever
Why did you explain 😂😂😂 that town racist af
I'm Hawaiian and live in Cullman it's pretty racist here
I lived in Cullman County or surrounding area all my life. There was no sign there in my life time. I never knew about it until I got married and moved to Blount County in 1976 and my mother in law told me about that sign. Cullman is a wonderful town. I still go there to shop, to eat or whatever. It’s a very nice place to live.I don’t know why it would be hated. Why are so many people moving to Cullman if it is so hated?
Because most of them are Yankee outsiders and Californians with extremely racist and conservative viewpoints but no one wants to bother mention that. Cullman is a "safe haven" for racist bigots and conservatives sadly. I for one moved the Hell out and was much happier. Place is like living in a Alt right circle jerk with shit healthcare services.
It’s not “people” moving to cullman. It’s white church going republican trump supporting white people. Not all of them are racist, but a lot of them are getter outed for being racist. So you take the good with the bad.
Because it’s racist
It's not hated at all. The worst thing I've heard people say that live here is that there's nothing to do.
No one is moving to Cullman 😂
In 2022 Cullman is just like any other town with a melting pot of people that has people with good character traits along with some character flaws, with no race being exempt from either; granted some people exhibit more of one trait than the other. I have lived in Birmingham, Al for 2 years; Center Point, AL for 2 years; Hanceville, AL off and on for a total of 22 years; Clarksville, TN for 2 years; Elmira, NY for 10 years, and now for the past 28 years I’ve lived in the City of Cullman. I’ve traveled to Canada; Georgia, Maine, Texas, Washington D.C., Maryland, Colorado, Florida, and South Carolina along my travels I’ve met some people who are very accepting of people of a different race and some people who are very unaccepting of people of a different race, nor have the prejudiced people been limited to just one geographical location or one race. So no I haven’t found Cullman to be worse than any other place I’ve lived or traveled to.
Blacks live in Cullman! I wouldn’t live there. But I’ve seen a few there!
Melting pot? Well it'll be a shit hole in no time.
@@erichaley6776Only 1% of people are black. White garbage makes up the vast majority.
I am not from Cullman but I have lived in Cullman for the past seven years and love it.
I had a great time despite the stories but i know alabama works in strange ways
I'm sure you can get people to make hateful statement when you are feeding them disinformation. People will look at you differently if they knew you spent time on jail for child molestation. Are you off of probation yet.
I have lived in cullman all my life and never have I ever treated people differently there is no color in cullman we are all the same it's a good town good people there is a lot of different races here now and no we treat people with respect this is a good town to live and yes its so much better here now thank you for showing this my town
Definitely is no colored there
Wait is youre son caleb
Im in cullman as we speak i havent even seen a hispanic person let alone a black man
Because we know better than to live in a corrupt town full of hate groups, racist cops, and in fear of our lives.
I only rode through Alabama on the Greyhound Bus 8 years ago. My personal bucket list is to go through every state of the union possible. That time, I got to cross the deep south states off my bucket list. The Northern states like to point the finger at Southern States for bigotry, but they´re just as bad if not worse. For 2 years of my childhood, I went to elementary school in Elwood, IL outside outside Joliet city limits. I never felt so hated in my life.
Its bad everywhere but the south is dangerous.
The south ain’t about liking you, its about hurting you
Whole video seems off. Lived in Cullman my entire life. Born and raise. I'm 28 & have never once noticed even a slight bit of racism. And the whole lazy part is even more bizarre. Yea we've got our lazy people but it's mainly the younger generation. As far as the majority of our towns workforce I'd say it's downright as productive as any other towns. & just because "your friends" told you they had to be careful about how they "moved around" doesn't mean they really had too. They might of thought they had to because of ignorant videos such as this but in reality they didn't have anything to fear.
Perspective.. can vary from person to person. I guess
I have been doing a ton of research as I plan a move to Northern Alabama from Florida and this town looks so clean, up to date with nice restaurants and shops and the homes are well kept. Pretty sure towns like this with people moving to it more and more aren’t built by “lazy people.” I agree that comment was just bizarre.
@@flippedoutmom Hi. Did you move up to North Alabama already? I’m Hispanic also. Looking to move there as well. Any inputs? Thanks
"17 people from FL 17 people from MS and those 32 people..." Lol 🤡
Stop it 😂
I have lived in 17 other places. Atlanta, Memphis, Tampa and several "small" towns. This is nowhere near the most racist, nor the laziest, place I've lived in. I feel like a lot of people regurgitate stories they've heard without seeing proof. Kind of like what you're doing in this video. If you come into a town with preconceived ideas of what that town is today, based on issues that most Southern towns had 60, 70, 80 years ago, you're going to see things with a prejudiced view. I have no doubt that racism has been an issue in the past. (This was a country wide issue btw. Not just a southern thing nor just a Cullman thing) But to say that Cullman has a deep dark racist secret today is just false. But hey if people think this is the most hateful place in America maybe they'll stop moving here and all the dang road construction can stop.
these are not preconvinced notions.. i lived in Alabama.. met people form culman, and had friends work there. you aint gonna run that alabama story past me i done seen your folks with my own two eyes.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS “preconvinced notions” bro will you stop pretending to have a brain? Leave this type of work for people who are able to be objective, and actually care to learn about a place or experience it. All you’ve done is drive through and spread falsehoods.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS "i dun seen your folks" ...you sound intelligent.😂😂😂
you are white so its easy as hell to post this. put on a black face then go through that town and update us.
Whatever you just hate Alabama
“I have never seen, even in Mississippi and Alabama, mobs as hateful as I’ve seen here in Chicago,” King told reporters that day, stripping off his tie and vowing to continue demonstrating. “Yes, it’s definitely a closed society. We’re going to make it an open society.” This is a quote from the Los Angeles Times of Martin Luther King Jr. Have you ever read this before? Have you ever heard it on the evening news? I would suggest that you do some reading about history from new sources. Chicago and other northern towns worked through their race relations in the 1970s after Cullman and the south had worked through segregation in the 1960s.
I have lived in Cullman most of my life. I was born here in 1960. The people of Cullman are God-fearing ,hard-working people. We have had some splinter groups that magnified our image as a sundowner town, but that is no longer true of Cullman.
Cullman county elected a black man and a friend of mine, James Fields, to the legislature a few years ago.
Your comments about Wallace State are based on your own prejudices. Governor Wallace established the schools all across the state to help the poor and minorities get an education and break out of the cycle of poverty.
Governor Wallace apologized to the black community and they became friends. The Black people of Alabama supported him as governor for many years.
As far as a peaceful place to live, Cullman has crime just like any place else in America but if you look at Huntsville Alabama and Birmingham Alabama you will find that the crime is far worse and the murder rate is far greater than Cullman.
Prejudice exists everywhere. I think the black, hispanic and white people get along just fine here in Cullman, Alabama and I am proud to live here.
The towns racist. Stop denying it😭 not everyone is racist. Not every white person who lives here is racist but you can hear the ones who are. Talk to a few folks in town and ask them what they think of black people, just ask them. See what they say.
Is that why their are multiple ongoing and past lawsuits against your police department. Everywhere else in the US you cannot go to jail over a traffic violation, you go in and disagree with the lady behind the glass over a 5mph over speed limit ticket they will throw you in custody and fingerprint you. It’s a complete scam. Would never live here ever again. The rest of the country hates Alabama for good reason. Too many uneducated people. Cope harder
White guy and I’m not from cullman. I actually grew up going to a school in Alabama that was about 60/40 white/black ratio and we HATED cullman because we “thought” they were soooo racist.
Moved here a few months ago and i was thoroughly surprised. You see tons of Hispanic and African Americans. Yes it’s majority white. But if this town is “racist” or a “terror” then why do these people live here? Yes the 70s existed and that past stuff happened. But man this is a great place. Can’t erase the past and there’s always idiots everywhere you go… but cullman is a wonderful place. Great place to raise a family no matter your race.
My advice: Just like with anywhere, don’t believe all stereotypes. Just because it’s Alabama doesn’t mean we are ALL racist or uneducated. Some are, but that’s everywhere. Meet the people, talk to people. See what happens when you say something racist and how it is not tolerated like you may assume.
I know you’re not hating on it in your video, but just saying this for anyone reading this.
1% is tons?
Some of the most racist people I've know were New Yorkers. The city of New York has a form of natural segregation. Like the "birds of a feather" saying, the city has neighborhoods of Jews, and down the street two blocks, the population is Irish, then a little farther you step into a Puerto Rican population. They all tend to foster relationships with their own cultures. The West Side Story was a movie from the "50's, I think, but it was the same problem. I live in Alabama. I have had a black son-in-law, and mixed race grandchildren. Hate is too strong a word to describe the feelings between the cultures that exist today. There's enough division without false claims of bigotry or racism. People who make claims like "if you vote for Trump, you ain't black" are dividers, not unifiers. Jesse Owens came from a town not far from Cullman. Many in Alabama take great pride in Mr. Owens, blacks, whites, and everyone in between. As for myself, I don't identify with any ethnicity. Caucasian is a sub race. Human is my race. On a questionnaire for jury duty, I answered the questions on race in that way. They sent me home and neither side, prosecution or defense, wanted me on a jury.
I have never herd a black person worry about being ha… for walking in NYC at night 😉 keep telling yourself that.
Well said.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS right but the police racial profiling in NYC is legend. Blue collar leaning White Catholic suburban long Island and Staten Island (NYC) communities are also especially notorious for their segregation and calling the police on Blacks they see in their neighborhoods including Black workers such as UPS drivers etc.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS You’re extremely asinine and not too bright at all. You think you know it all, and refuse to do research. Instead, relying on what others tell you, as fact. Hey, I can tell you bridges grow on trees. Does that make it fact.
Lived here for the past 50 years. Yes it was really bad up through the 80s. There was a march in the 80s with POC coming from Decatur to Cullman. The KKK told them they wouldn't enter Cullman county. I lived at the county line. We had to sit it out at Stuckeys until the police stopped the violent riot that broke out at the line. 4 lanes of pickup trucks were waiting with guns, chains & baseball bats.
That was around 1980 and I was horrified as a child at what I saw.
The black citizens still live in an area in the corner of the county named Colony. It's not as bad for black people since Mexican migrants have come here to work. They're talked about something awful. It's better now but has a long way to go. Our black friends in Birmingham still won't come to our house here. There's a lot of good hard working people here too though that aren't racist or bigoted. We are the minority. Lots of churches and lots of hypocrites. Up until about 10 yrs ago there were as many bootleggers as churches. Both enjoyed the same patronage quite often.
I grew up east of Birmingham moved to Cullman with my now fiancé that moved here from Pennsylvania in 2019. This area was new to both of us and we absolutely love it here! Our neighbors are great, we all communicate. I grew up hearing the stories of Cullman,but living here those stories are a thing of the past. I hope that cullman continues to go in the same direction. The schools here are great as well. I’m a sales consultant at Farmers Home Furniture and the amount of people moving here from ALL over is absolutely amazing! Though my family is much further south I do plan on being here for a long time.
I cringed every time you said “most hated place in America“ I’ve never heard anyone say that before
Maybe it’s a thing of the past for you as a white person. But my people still feel everything your people have done to us, it’s still VERY racist in Cullman & Pennsylvania isn’t any better either. We are still not welcomed in a lot of places including Cullman.
& btw I cringed at your whole comment! I can’t believe how blind you choose to be.
We don’t talk like that also do not come into our city when you do not live here or from here and tell us how we are 🤦♀️ your literally the kind of people dont act like you know everything and before you come to someone’s hometown that you know nothing about and talk trash make sure your 100% perfect and your city is 100% perfect as well
Go to the original video i did there and read the comments
I’m originally from Colorado but have lived in Alabama 19 years from gulf shores to now Huntsville and I worked for a large McDonald’s franchise in Alabama called Johnson partners who own 20+ and they would have to pay the workers from Huntsville extra to go to the cullman location and work that’s 1.5 hour trip ride time
😶
So they essentially got paid for gas? Wow...
i have been in cullman my whole life and my family and friends has been here all our lives. back then it may have been like that but it’s 2023 bruh like come on. cullman wasn’t the only place that was “racist”. you can’t judge just by what you hear or see. ever place has its past so i’m here to say from a local from cullman which i still live here, it’s no hate today. i’m not saying everyone is good but it’s not like 40+ years ago it’s 2023 so yeah. cullman isn’t bad anymore like it was
I have lived in Cullman since 1985 and I know every town in America has it’s problems! You can’t go by what 1 or 2 people tell you!
1 or 2, we had hundreds of people hit the comment section on our last Cullman video 🤦
You're just oblivious to it then and that's okay. Ignorance is bliss. Cullman is full of meth heads etc. Lived there and will not be back.
That place is racist ass fuck & it's still a sundown town.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS so would you say your main goal is to race bait? ❤
I lived in Huntsville Alabama for many years. I experienced car break-ins and stolen property. l hated it. I moved to Cullman three years ago and I love it here. I wish I would’ve moved sooner.
I have lived in Cullman since I was about 2 1/2 years old. There are definitely issues with this town. I never knew before a few years ago just how serious it was if you think that it’s bad being a visitor you should be one of the people who have lived here, your whole life, everyone here practically is Ken to other people asking people they protect each other at Alcast people lye about another person, just because someone in their family wants them to. They will make up all kinds of evil against you if you are not in the right circle years ago, the KKK was very thick here my personal opinion as they still are local law-enforcement and even judges here are tainted. They will do whatever they want to a person as long as they are in cahoots with the other are now understand why Cullman is hated this is the good old boy town yeah if you are one of the good boys, you can get away with anything and you can make someone else give up everything in their life, even their freedom because the good old boys will ensure it happens to them
Cullman is the best place I ever lived. Everyone nice respectful and friendly. I have been walking people asked if I need help or a ride. It's cheap clean and we are all proud Americans. If you come to Cullman and act respectful and kind you will receive the same in return. If you come starting trouble there will be trouble. Simple as that!!!
I lived their from 14-16 , always from Birmingham, I was the general manager of five guys that is closed now in cullman. I enjoyed my time in the city and met the best and most friendly people
its hard to take Jose stance on Alabama serious. he switched up too hard. went from the extreme of loving it, to the opposite end by hating everything about Alabama and the people there. Either way Jose, your opinion is wrong because you have been on both sides of the fence. You are an abrasive person and probably brought a lot of the hate onto yourself.
EXACTLY!!!
What are you trying to do? You say you want to start a conversation, but it seems to me that you expect me (someone from Cullman) to defend my hometown. You kept saying it was friendly and beautiful but then you also kept repeating insults and rude insinuations about our citizens. NO town is perfect or has a perfect past. Put Anytown, USA under the microscope and you will find much of the same. I HATE racism, sexism, any kind of "ism" that causes harm just like most folks. And just wondered if you realized you were just chilling and slowly cruising by "Wal-Mart Dist." while it was filled with people working and then you called those workers lazy?? Not cool. Constructional criticism can be beneficial but this feels a bit more passive aggressive.
He needs to go back to Florida!
Im hispanic and dont have any issues. There are hateful people everywhere but Ive been treated good. My husband is from LA and looks it - hes treated well. The people in Alabama are overall friendly. Whatever racism that existed back in the day isnt really the case from what Ive experienced. Black people are racist too - all people have the ability to be racist. I experienced more racism in Prescott, AZ than I ever have here. The Mayor of Cullman has put alot of effort into the community and Id say its a good place to live, work and visit.
They say this is a sundown town
And is 😂
USED TO BE! Not now!!
Next time you come to Cullman, if you haven't already, try Duchess Bakery. And from that doughnut you will learn why people hate Cullman. Get the blue and white bag ones. You can't get that perfection anywhere but here.
Cullman is a great town! Every person is so kind. The schools are so nice, along with the kids in it! It’s easy to make friends there too. It’s just an average place. Teenagers in parking lots, average people walking around everywhere. Sure, at night it’s sketchy, but so is every place. Though, people are under paid as crap. Overall, it’s a nice, clean, town.
People are underpaid because they are illiterate, fail to uphold labor laws, and oppose unions. They only worry about gun control and abortion, abortion, abortion.
Astonishing lack of self awareness - you're white. Not even a passing mention noting that it's possible that your black neighbors might not have the exact same experience as you? Disappointing, but not at all shocking. Alabama being Alabama.
I have lived all my life, except for the 3 years I lived in Vacaville. But to help you understand things, yes there were signs that were at the mile markers on highway 65 at the northern and southern county lines. That I won't repeat what the words said, because I don't agree with them, but it was a warning to not be in Cullman when the sun went down. This was back in the 60s, and we all know the horrible history of the South in the 60s. But to address your questions as to whether the town has improved, the answer is yes. I have friends of other ethnicity, good friends, that are great folks. Like all towns you will find people that unfortunately are closed minded and are hurtful to other people. But, for the most part, we have advanced and there are so many kind and wonderful people that live here. There are several Latino families here now, I say Latino because I don't know for sure what country they are from, it doesn't matter though. They are hard working and kind. I treat people with respect, they treat me with respect, I do the same. People have come here to make a life for themselves and their families, nothing wrong with that. I would say, you should spend time here and get to know people, and don't base your opinions off what others say, no matter who they are. You will find lazy people everywhere, there will always be laziness. I personally can't stand laziness, I was raised to work hard and earn my way. No one deserves anything, you want something, you gotta work for it. No one owes me anything, I work hard and always have. I don't wait on someone to do it for me or give it to me. I go after it, anything gained by laziness is not earned, nor will it be of value. I value all that I have and I am thankful for it. As far as lazy people at Walmart, I have no clue, haven't worked there. But, like I said, there are lazy people everywhere. But, there many many more hard workers in this town. So, you asked I answered
👌
If you know anything about Cullman you know that the railroad tracks run right through the center of town the signs were put on the railroad tracks at both ends to keep the hoboes out after dark and that's where they were and nowhere else. To see the signs you had to be on the railroad tracks and they were gone when I lived there in the early 70s.
Say what??? That’s title lol
This is one of the cleanest, nicest places u could visit in Alabama. No doubt about it. Their sport facility is amazing and the people have never been unkind. Wondering if the poster lives anywhere around here. It’s funny to hear someone else speak about areas like this. It’s lovely in Cullman.
go read the comments on my last video in cullman you will see. than you cant even imagine all the comments i had to delete.. its definitely the most hated place i have ever done a video in
Your living in a bubble, the police corruption and lawsuits against the police department are insane. You have a corruption problem in hanceville Cullman. Food is terrible, too many uneducated people.
Loved the video I’m new to your videos here I was born and raised here I’m 31 and the reason I don’t work at Walmart is bc they have a terrible work environment and plus there’s better places that pay way better that’s my insight on the Walmart ordeal sir, As for the hate thing my aunt and cousins haven’t went through anything like that and there from India.
support them, love them you got no idea what they go thru on the daily
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGSI’m sorry but your reply here just shows how closed minded you are. The commenter literally just said her family hasn’t complained of issues and your response is basically to tell her they’re lying. They MUST have it so bad because I’m too closed minded to believe otherwise! Sheesh. I am Puerto Rican and looking to move to Northern Alabama from Florida and it’s lame one season and unfriendly people, and I bet non of the area are as bad as you say. You just seem extremely negative.
Im from peru living in cullman almost 2 years now. Used to live in Tampa before. Nice small town, everything close early. Move here with mY wife and just had a baby and planning (for now) to raise her here. I don’t have any racial issues whatsoever. The only problem sometimes is picking up some words when people talk! LOL. Miss for sure all the accommodations of a big city but we’ll where not that far away of one of those (Huntsville or Bham)
Hello my name is Tammy I am 53 yrs old and have lived in Cullman 46 yrs of that time , I no longer live there thank goodness . I can honestly say all the hate is there , if a biracial couple comes in a store together they get stared down and most of the time are last to get waited on not only that but it is so much worse people treat you badly and tell you to go back to the colony. That's a place outside of Cullman where most black people live it is indeed a hated town not only for the color of your skin but for the job you have . If you don't have the best of the best the stores all treat you like you are trash ...
LIAR
did you know the same thing happens in northern Michigan?
Us people in Cullman are like the nicest people, we help people no matter the issue or their race, the past is just that, the past
Are y’all nice to everyone? Even at night? 👀
@@kyriiyvonneyes, what’s the difference lol
I've always lived in Birmingham until March of this year. I now live about 15 miles from the Walmart distribution center exit (304). I have limited experience in Cullman but, the Walmart just about a mile from the distribution center is my favorite Walmart of all time....no Walmart in Birmingham even comes close (both quantity and quality of the merchandise AND employees). I've also been to the movie theater twice just next door to that Walmart.
I consider myself to be an anti-racist and I am also aware (maybe even hyper-aware) of racist and just generally ignorant speech and actions in others. Thus far, I've not had any negative experiences. I hope that continues to be the case.
But it's alabama, so it's probably only a matter of time. ijs 🤷🏻♀️
Thanks, i am reasonably aware perhaps traumatized a bit but i am not angry at anyone.
No you want to know where your racist states are go up North where the Liberals are liberal run that's where your racist states are
Birmingham sucks
@@commonsense4991 you’d think you’d be smarter by your username😭 republicans are just as corrupt as liberals. At least the liberals admit the history of racism in the USA. They might be Karen’s sometime, but the republicans just deny it😭 especially this small ass racist town. 😊
The game warden stop us every time we go fishing there so I just stop going. They see we don't do anything illegal they be letting others just exit the park but it's all good. I fish all over alabama anyways. 😊
I’ve lived in a lot of places and Cullman Alabama is the best place I’ve ever been and lived and I still live here now
Me too.
Moved to Cullman a few years ago from San Diego. It is an awesome place. There’s no more hate here than anywhere else.
Cap AF, maybe there’s no hate to you😭 if you change your skin color they switch up real quick
You are correct...it is now like the rest of the great country.... money matters and status... just saying
Just stop lying there's nothing but hate there
Its hateful! 😐 Its pretty bad, if you're not religious don't bother even trying to live in this town.. Plus the people here are just plain rude as hell!! 😐
@@daviddubick6668 I don't think the religion thing is unique to Cullman, I'm in northern alabama, had a window lady come to the house to give me a quote and all she was trying to sell on was her church!
I’m from brewton Alabama. Not much there ; my entire family is from there. Very family oriented small town. Everyone knows everyone , however my experience in cullman was scary to say the least….. as a child my mom moved us to Montgomery, and Alabama, and it’s was absolutely horrible, and this was solely due to the crime rate. Our house was shot up and had only lived there for 2 weeks. My mom and half the family since then decided to come to Kansas. We reside in the capital of Kansas now ( Topeka Ks) and it is absolutely horrible here as well. My brother has already been shot, I’ve witnessed drive by shootings, ect…. It’s sad because you feel like it isn’t safe anywhere. You can’t live around racists, but it’s hard to live around your own as well, because with too many of us there all ways seems to be an issue. We can never get along.. people think of Kansas and think it’s cows, Dorothy, and corn fields, and it’s extremely ghetto here; as well as Missouri.
I have stayed a couple of summers with my aunt, n uncle in Vinemont, Al. Right next 2 Cullman. It's such a beautiful place, filled with wonderful people ❤
Although George Wallace hurt a lot of people with his policies and his public speeches, he helped a lot of people too. I know his good deeds don’t cancel out the bad ones, but everyone should know about the good he did for the state. At the beginning of his political career, he was one of the most liberal judges in Alabama. There’s a good story about a black farmer and his black attorney being disrespected in his court by some big shot white attorneys from Birmingham, and Wallace stopped the proceedings and told those two white attorneys that they better call the plaintiff and his attorney mister and supposedly the two defense attorneys got the message.
I think it was the first time he ran for governor and he campaigned on improving public schools, improving and building new roads and bridges, etc while his opponent ran on a segregationist platform. Suffice it to say he lost that election and that was when he said that “he would never be outn******ed again.” So of course the next time he ran he ran as a segregationist and won and that was the start of something that hopefully we’ll never see again. A lot of people believe he personally never believed in segregation, but that he knew that was the only way he would be elected.
One interesting thing about Wallace was that he was probably one of the very few that loved campaigning more than he liked actually being in office. Another fact which is pretty disturbing and pretty sick is that he and his wife’s doctor purposely hid her cancer diagnosis from her so she would continue running for governor so that he would be the de facto governor while she was in office. I believe back then Alabama’s governor could not serve two consecutive terms.
He was close to going to prison in the early 70’s for receiving kickbacks, but he was able to get out of that by cutting a deal with Nixon where Wallace ran as Democrat instead of a third party candidate which would not threaten to cause Nixon to lose outright or have the election end up in the Democratic controlled House of Representatives if none of the candidates received a majority of votes from the electoral college.
Lets praise segregation.. alabama 101
your friend lied that sign was never in Cullman City
It was in west point where I live
I used to go to Cullman for work purposes from Huntsville. I never had a problem with Cullman and never heard of any issues. I've know a native American Indian from Cullman and he loved it. I've also been to Scottsboro and can say that's the only place I've seen yard signs proclaiming the KKK. Not a reflection of all the people there but of that house's occupant.
They some dumb hicks. They actually have ammo shortages during elections that should give you an idea how brainwashed they are
Im part native to an i can tell you thats something you tried to hide cause if any knew you have any even 1% native american blood you are definitely not treated well. My grandmother an great grandmother was full blood an all there lives they pretended to be white
I moved here 20 years ago. I am an ESL teacher I have worked with people here from all walks of life and it has not been like this described in the video for the 20 years that I have lived here. This is just stirring hatred that is long gone.
Umm as one of the people from out of state that works here in cullman i been black a long time i know racist energy is not hard to pick up if youve been black a long time im just gonna leave it at that
Ma’am you’re a white person Ofcourse you don’t feel or see anything because you’ve never experienced racism, I guarantee you ma’am that Cullman was and still is VeRY racist towards my people!
It isn’t long gone! My grandmother still remember using colored water fountains for god sakes, please stop acting like your people did these things so long ago! It really wasn’t! I have uncles that remember being hunted by dogs that were owned by whites racist!!!
@@krystalherrand9122 im here now its a fact

My name is Amy Hood,I'm from Cullman Alabama, and I can say not everyone is like that anymore. I know the reputation of Cullman.but like everywhere else you have your good and your bad. I know everyone doesn't have the same experience in Cullman, but I would like to think we have grown as a town.
I’m black and I’m in cullman every day and honestly I would say it’s about 70/30. 70% of the people I encounter are friendly and respectful. The other 30% not so much. But I don’t automatically assume they’re all racist. Some people are just assholes. Most of the time people don’t pay me any attention. They just speak and keep it moving
I lived in Cullman many years ago when my husband worked the Bankhead National Forrest. It was a strange place. I was informed very early that any black person caught in Cullman after dark would be hanged. I am white but quickly decided I did not want to be there. I left and never went back.
Typical Alabama. Good ol boys will make whites go away too in more subtle methods
I’m Mexican and been living in Cullman for 15+ years and love it here have went to city schools and county schools, never had an issue except for a few bad apples which you have them everywhere. But it’s a great place to live, great neighbors and awesome places to work. My Grandpa and aunt have visited from Mexico and everyone was nice and very welcoming to them even though they did not speak English very well.
Thanks for sharing! When i took my dad to Alabama I realized how bad the people in alabama were. Because my dad looks mexican.. i am white. when i saw the difference in how they treated him... i understood it was time to leave.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS yeah we look full blown Mexican. He even had on his outfit he wear at the rancho with his sombrero and everything and like I said everyone was extremely welcoming. Sorry your dad was treated differently
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS in your comment above this one you said your Latino
Correction: 19:30 Black Day is horrible idea: its not realistic.
🤣 knowing Alabama… yeah, horrible
I have not heard of that since my late relatives lived there. This is one of the cleanest towns. Very little graffiti. Racism is a sin. Sin comes from humans who can sin all over world. Many different races live here including Russians. Nice people do live her. The decline in work ethic comes from a different generation than the one we see now. Sounds like you have prejudices before you ever came. Delete if you want but prejudices come from all sides. Cullman is Allright.
I feel like asking God why he allow me to be born in Alabama?
I feel unloved by God for allowing me to be born there.
I was born in Huntsville
Huntsville is the best part of Alabama
Delete? 😅 no. Cullman is 95% white in a 33% black state.. its not diverse by a far cry
The most high doesn’t hate you you are the salt of the world! Why do you think so many hate us for no reason??? We are the true chosen ones
@@damariousbrewster4273 I wish I was born in Tennessee, I’m ashamed to be from Alabama, I feel like God hates me because I’m from Alabama.
People who love living in a town that shuts down at 8pm....you are in the right place. If you love living where no dancing allowed, no live bands allowed, or any adult entertainment whatsoever...you are in the right place!
What? We literally host one of the biggest concerts around with rock the south… what are you talking about?
@@Codyflowers3cope harder. It’s pure trash. The police have multiple lawsuits for widespread corruption. Wow you guys have 1 festival. Your laws are archaic. You can still go to jail for a traffic violation, if you love mayonnaise on everything then the food is top tier . The college I have respect for, everything else is trash. You couldn’t pay me a million bucks to ever live there again
@@OneManCanStopTheMotorOfWorld you’re clueless. Cry some more. College isn’t even in Cullman which tells me all I need to know.. and we have several festivals.. and it’s great that you don’t wanna live here.
So, downtown charlotte NC shuts down at 5pm. welcome to the south.
@@karenj5880lies. The Friday night food trucks crank up at 6..😂
So I grew up in the house on the left at the 16:25 mark. We were the weird Yankee Pollack family on the edge of town that all the Baptists were trying to convert. We aren't Polish but our Russian family name looks Polish. My first and second grades were at the country school in Fairview, then went to Sacred Heart Catholic and then East Elementary and Cullman Middle School. We were regularly called Pollacks, Yankees (I was actually born south of Nashville) and then I was called all the variations of faggot when it became clear I'm gay (the other obviously gay kid in school killed himself about 10 years ago, then living in Huntsville). We moved North when I started high school. I'm now a civil rights lawyer doing racial justice work living in NYC so a long way from Cullman, mentally and physically. From the age of 6 to 14, I saw only 1 live black person, Virgil who was from the orphanage. There was a Vietnamese refugee family that our family was friendly with but they moved to California when the dad was threatened with a gun after leaving his job one day after work. I had a friend who proudly showed me the n***** hanging tree in his yard right before he showed me how to shoot a rifle (sorry David, I'm pretty sure that's not how you are today). The Mexican doctor's wife Lidia committed suicide because she was so lonely even though my mom tried to help her miss Mexico less. I actually loved growing up in Cullman, running around the woods barefoot building forts with my brothers, swimming across Smith Lake trying to avoid the water mocassins, catching lightning bugs at dusk on those endless summer nights where you can't hear anything but the crickets and buzzing bugs, eating bags of fried pork rinds from the flea market, old man farmer Pete next door who couldn't read and left us piles of vegetables from his garden all the time. I never knew how mostly effed up a place Cullman was socially until I moved away and learned that none of that other stuff was normal and how indoctrinated even my outsider family was.
Seriously? How old are you? I am 46 and was born in Cullman. None of those things are a regular thing. I just moved back after being in Tuscaloosa, AL for 19 years. Tuscaloosa is waaayyy worse than Cullman has ever been and there are people from all over the world in Tuscaloosa because of the University of Alabama. BTW, I am white with a black wife and NOBODY acts any differently when they see us. I also went to Wallace State Community College before I went to the University of Alabama. I had teammates on the track team that were from all over this country as well as other parts of the world, especially the Caribbean. None of them had any issues either.
I have lived in Cullman for 8 years now having moved from Birmingham - Jefferson county area. i now live within a mile from downtown Cullman. Go to Church here and walk my dog early and late every day. There is very little crime here. People and businesses are moving here from all over . Value of homes and land have gone crazy since i moved here. You also say in another video don't buy land in Alabama ? If there are haters in Cullman ? They might be gone when you left the City limits of Cullman !
Dude, whatever. I'm from north of there, don't label our towns. Just leave.
Don’t get mad because it’s true. Grow tf up.
Stfu this town racist AF
You know, I recently moved to Birmingham and a bunch of people told me that I should never go to Cullman, in fact that was one of the first thing they mentioned
@@maykolllopez yeah don’t the old white folks are racist as fuck. I’ve genuinely never seen blatant racism like I have in Alabama.
Wow, I'm in Mobile and I've never heard of this Cullman Sundown Town, Alabama.
i live in cullman and in my experience this isn’t true for the most part. some of the more elderly people are racist, but many of them are too old to do anything but for the most part cullman is a good city
They did a lot when they were younger and passed it to you
@@lilcourtny08 I grew up almost my entire life in an almost all white area in Alabama. Rebel Flags flying everywhere. I know live in Cullman and work in Birmingham. I'm friends with plenty of black people at my job in bham. So all that racist stuff is Bullsht for the most part.
I’ve lived here my whole life. It’s a great place to live and is really safe place to raise a family.
Thanks
If you are white, not black
Safe for white people caucasians welcome n to whites I didn't hear you say anything about welcoming to all people Safe for all people that tells me everything right there
It’s trash 🗑️
@@clarencebostick5397 Maybe they dont like you
This video would have made more sense if you would have stopped places and seen the people. I am not from Alabama so I would never judge someone solely based on a video of a northerner judging for 24 minutes. Show some not welcome signs, white only signs, or something showing facts. Northerners can be the most racist people they just hide it more often. Have you not noticed that in northern states races seem to be more segregated? You also forgot to mention that sundown towns are everywhere not only in southern states.
I was as stupid and naive as you until i lived in Alabama for a year
Cullman is a wonderful town. I was born and raised there and only moved away 20 years ago due to a job in Florida. I am now retiring and hope to move back to Cullman to retire. The town is clean, beautiful churches and good people over all.
asians and blacks are not allow i bet
Clean? Beautiful?..u have on rose glasses
No it’s not, Cullman is pure trash and people who think they are gods gift to earth as long they have a lifted truck. Most people I knew got their education and left and never came back even after Covid lol.
Good people my ass.
They are good people. Tell me one way they aren’t.
Cullman has changed a ton since the "sundown town" days. I graduated with multiple colored people from Cullman and the color of their skin was not an issue. I now live in Decatur and have have witnessed more predjudices here. There are good local workers but in all honesty drugs have become an issue in the area over the past few years. Cullman also has some of the lowest payed wages in the area when it comes to plant work, alot of the better workers have decided to move or commute to larger cities that pay more.
The fact that you used the term" colored people" tells me everything I need to know. Smh
Colored in itself can be derogatory so y’all clearly still view poc as less than
I hope it stays the most hated. I’m sick of strangers moving in
I bet u hate your last name is BLACK-MAN huh? 😂🤡
I've lived here 53 yrs,it used to be that way but isn't any longer.
I have lived in Cullman for years and it’s an awesome place to live and raise a family! There is no more racism here than anywhere else I’ve been! I have friends of many different races and backgrounds and they are not afraid of “being out after dark”. “Most hated town in America”??? That’s extreme! This town is actually referred to as a “Hallmark Town” by many. Sounds like you’re listening to the opinions of people who don’t live here and have no clue what they are talking about!
First, i have done videos in 3500 towns for ny channel.. its the most hated town i read the comments daily. Bless your heart if you have not been to a less racist place. Greetings from kendall a rich latino area of miami.
There's no diversity there, how can you have such a diverse group of friends
We moved here from California and have not once witnessed behavior from the past. With time, people evolve, everywhere. People here are so kind, welcoming and I would NEVER EVER live in a gangrened city like Bakersfield, California again. Put a supposedly liberal, open city, from a liberal state, next to Cullman. Which one is better? My husband is Hispanic, and looks Hispanic, and has never had an issue. He worked in the field, meeting 100s of people weekly. No issues. We went to the water park in Cullman this summer. No issues. All races and sizes and everyone was having fun. It's hard to truly know how some residents feel if you delete them.
one day the alabama honey moon will be OVER... and you will be in FEAR for your life. Enjoy that while it LAST. I rather be homeless in Florida or California than in a mansion in Alabama and i stand behind those words, I actually left my house empty and came homless to Florida just to escape alive. Keep thinking its sweat... know this tho, the murder rate for THE WHOLE STATE OF ALABAMA is higher than OAKLAND, the worst city in CALIFORNIA. Theres more gangs in Birmingham than in Bakersfield. At least in Bakersfield they can hang out in their hood... in Birmingham with a murder rate 5X higher than Bakersfield your not gonna stand around too long. I seen the worst parts of Bakersfield and let me tell you, its aint CRAP compared to the violence in Birmingham or Montgomery. I LIVED there, like I said, one day the honeymoon will be over.. and you will come back to this video. in fact its DANGEROUS that you are completely unaware of the danger your in. WAKE UP, those people will eliminate you from the list of the living and your so slow you will think it was an accient.
I would like to hear directly from the made up friend that gave you all the inside secrets and info on Cullman. Get him on your channel. Damm I hate you didn't look Hispanic enough to get the hate you were looking for.
what bothered you sir? the truth?
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS I wouldn't trust that your friend's stories aren't greatly exaggerated even if they have a grain of truth to them!
Having lived near Cullman all my life I am aware of the fact that it used to be a very racial town where blacks were afraid to be after sundown. I remember my Grandfather telling me a story about that when he said that when the farmers came to town by wagon to get supplies and trade their "blacks" would come with them but were told to stay in the wagons and not ramble around. I detest that phrase "their blacks" but in reality that was the way it was back then. I heard more stories later on but it seems that Cullman has completely changed since those days. BTW, Cullman was founded by Germans and still has a strong German presence.
Don't knock the place until you try the place! Why don't you move there for a while and then give your honest opinion on the subject matter you are looking for! Hear say is just that, first hand experience beats that any day!
Low crime, tax dollars are used to upgrade city school system, it’s clean, close to the interstate, located between both major cities, Birmingham and Huntsville, affordable homes. Yes the job opportunities are low but if you want affordable housing and commute to either major cities it is perfectly doable everyday. As far as the racist comments go I am a white male so I can’t comment on that, due to not being able to experience being any other race. I will say I have traveled all of the world and lived in other states and there is racism/tribalism everywhere. I have had to quit talking to friends everywhere Iv lived due to their ignorant ideology and no they were not just white.
We have cut off people of all races due to their insensitivity. It hurts but I don’t want them around if hate is all they can contribute
VERY clean safe in comparison to Sylacauga, Birmingham, Montgomery, or Selma ...must be those small town values that make for good neighbors..
I lived here my whole life, I’m 48 years old, if you’re curious that this is still a sundown town, I’d invite you to come out when the sun is down and start walking around the town
If you meant this as a threat good job. If not, maybe reword it?
@@kevinfranklin2159that genuinely sounds like a threat
I grew up here. I have traveled in many of the states. Lived basically in New Mexico about 8m and visited surrounding states. I lived in Jefferson county for 2yrs and was very careful who I told where I was from because of the hate towards our town. Now I saw more racist in the southwest as of current day than our area. We have have changed greatly in this used to be small town. We have had an influx of people to move to the area in the past 10 to 15 years so it can't be that bad. Yea just as anywhere you will come across people who still are racist but as a whole we are not. We are not lazy as a whole. Walmart distribution has a bad rep or is not the greatest place to work. We have many great plants here with great pay and benefits now. And those who work there work very hard. Now with all that said I have experience discrimination just because I am from here and people assume that I am racist. And I am not.
Also our current leadership of the great nation is trying to cause division in our country in all states. We really need to unite right now as people instead all this division. Because united we stand devided we fall. With this division in the nation we are slowly loosing our rights and freedom. Think on that.
And oh if you want a true picture of us. Get out of your car and do some interviews. Find out what the people are about in this town.
People need to remember there is still a sundown town in Texas. Maybe that needs to be a focal point.
The "current leadership"? Are you serious? Trump is the one who encouraged racist Proud Boys, who disparaged Mexicans, who continually said and implied that people who weren't naturally American, ie, white people, were not to be let in the country. Good grief, educate yourself instead of listening to Fox News.
@wendieechols4141 let's focus on both sundowns
I work in Cullman. It's a chill small town, and its growing. Great place to move, especially if you want to raise a family. Cullman isn't hateful nor is it hated (at least not by people who live in the area or know anything about it). It hasn't been a sundown town for decades and there's no more racism here than anywhere else. If you're someone who believes Cullman is racist, please don't move here and bring that poison with you.
That would be a beautiful statement if it was true.
