Cullman Alabama Is America’s Most Hated Town

- Once a “sundown town” many people are still resentful for what the town stood for. But has the town changed? And should we judge ALL the people who live here as bad? Should we reevaluate the situation? Are the people trying to be better to secretly wanting to be the same? Lets explore.
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
It’s not racist
I was born and raised here. Some of my family are the richest here. I could tell you some things but not publicly. Racism is still alive here.
I saw it first hand living in Alabama. I came back to Florida first change we got.
Racism is still alive in this country period there's racism and reverse racism that still dominates our entire country its not just a cullman thing
It’s a beautiful town just stay positive there it’s like anywhere in Alabama
We literally have 2 Walmart’s and 49000 restaurants new jobs expanding everytime you blink it’s really a great place but don’t act like you know everything you’ll never learn if you don’t ask questions and actually listen instead of talking 😂
Walmart 🤣 oh bless your heart. Small town people, 😭😅😅😅 ohh this made my day.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS thank you 🙏🏽 glad you could find joy
This is a general statement probably not gonna make the cut, but I will try anyway. As I’m sure everyone knows there’s a difference between prejudice and racism. A lot of people get them confused in order to get a true gauge on weather someone is racist or prejudiced you need to actually use the stimulus that they are racist, or prejudiced against, for example you can’t look or pass for Caucasian, and then presume a town is not racist or prejudiced against you. The southern towns are known for being predominantly, racist, or prejudiced against Black people. those were the people that were targeted with vicious brutality in those are the people the southern states gain their reputation on so if you’re basically passing through white and being excepted for who you are because you don’t look what you really are then you’re definitely not going to get, a pure uncut you on what’s going on unless you use the correct people to provoke the response. Like I said, I know this probably won’t make the cut, but it is real as I can be without going into more detail which I really want to do.
After reading several of your comments in this video of you ridiculing and making fun of this town and the people of Alabama. Its clear you are full of hate and animosity toward them. The same type of hate you accuse them of. I hope you can get past your bigotry of this state. Focus on love and find the help you need.I hope u find it. Good luck.
EXACTLY!
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.
This is the only time you've been here? You can't judge a town by riding through. Stop and talk to people. Get to know them♡
Agree 💯
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!
@@briangreen256 true ! Because is Birmingham dangerous
If your smart best to avoid a sundown town all together
@@briangreen256 yea because your white
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’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
You need to be honest with yourself and admit you are racist👍 Making fun of the way people talk while claiming to want people to be honest with you is not a way to create dialog.
I had no idea a particular race had an accent? Cuz i am Hispanic with a southern dawl
Racist white boy😭
They used to be a sign hanging when you enter Cullman it said don't let the sun set on your black ass in Cullman
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.
That's a damn lie😂
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.
Hard to witness racism when no other races are in the city. There’s only about 250 black people living there according to the latest census.
And thats why i love living here @@tlacahetl
Redneck 😂
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.
It looks nice and peaceful too
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)
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 🤡
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!
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.
Why do y'all always bad mouth the South. I've born and raised in Alabama. And lived here 98% of my life. I've never witnessed any racism or bigotry or prejudices. People love givin the south a bad rap. I mean there may be a few isolated incidents but you'll get that anywhere you go.
Asian America transplant from NYC who works hard at Topre and have had very supportive management. I have no issues walking after Sundown. I love Cullman. In fact it’s growing with lots of investments (fancy new hotel and famous restaurants)
I wish you the best sir. I had to leave rural alabama due to being latino.
There is also a Federal AntiCrime against Asian Law that protects you ijs other races do not have that protection.
@@theMGoBlueChick laws are worthless in a state where police are racist and lawyers all backroom know each other
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS Dig deeper there is no way you had to leave Alabama due to you being Latino. Now I'm convinced you're the one with the problem.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS wait, you had to leave for being Latino?!? In your video, you say (several time) that you look white. That is a definite contradiction.
Don’t believe all the negative comments you read
There’s nothing wrong with this town my father in law was born and raised there
This town is no different than any other town .
A lot of progress has been made here .
Don’t judge a book by its cover .
I been in this town over the years many many times .
Plus I still have family who live here .
Who's the real racist here?
Not sure because i dont live in Alabama
Kelley I'm afraid you were watching his content. This dude has to be miserable. The whole world's after him. Silly honestly.
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
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
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS I agree. Nothing against the good folks. If your a good person your colors will show, but those who are bad your tone will come
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGSI live in Cullman. I am white. My wife is black. We have three mixed sons. EVERYBODY treats us wonderfully.
@@sherr001 ur lucky
@@sherr001 Thanks for helping destroy the country.
How many people was arrested at the 2022 Rock the South, please let me know, thank you.
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!
your friend lied that sign was never in Cullman City
I knew a literature teacher from there. He confirmed that sign. It was mentioned in a Kurt Vonnegut novel, and the teacher told me that he knew where he got that. He remembered that sign being at the edge of town. He told me exactly where it was, but I don't recall. He knew the exact road and wording and everything.
1 hr laterrrr...Alabama's out of the closet.
What happened 50 years does not make it bad today. Berlin hated everyone expect certain Germans 80 years ago is that a bad place.
Sadly today theres “closet”
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.
So much disinformation and ignorance here. You should be ashamed.
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!
Walk down the streets of cullman or ghetto streets and see where you get mugged first
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.
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.

This is my Hometown grew up there and I can tell you you're making it out to be something it's not this is a loving little country town who just doesn't deal with bs.
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!
Na Cullman ain’t like that maybe few people but your gonna have that everywhere
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.
I don't know where you got this BS.

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.

@@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.
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!!!
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.
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
Cullman is a great city! I love Cullman!
I was born in Cullman alabama in 2001 and I stay in Arkansas now I may go back idk kinda racist bc I’m half white and half black I went to fairview school
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.
I'm from Cullman Alabama and still have family that lives in Cullman . I went to school in Holly pond high School . I have seen first hand the goodness in the people there but at same time racist behavior and the Klan is a big influence in the country and the cops and other high ranking judges and other high ranking people in the KKK that lives in Cullman Alabama. I really wish the Feds would check in Smith lake and Duck River dam for missing people
Thats the story of Alabama. Every county is the same. Where i lived in Elmore county everyone knows where the missing people are too… Alabama is a horses 🕳️
I would like to see experiences of black and brown people in the comment section!!
They email me privately. Theres a story or two
I was born in Cullman. Raised in Bremen. Pretty sure most of the racist live out there. Lol. Currently still live in Cullman. I’ve worked a ton of jobs and have met a lot of racist people but they are not the majority. Trump country for sure. Most of the older white people are racist, my grandparents are, but they don’t think they are. I think that can be said for about 90% of the racist around here, they just don’t believe they are racist but they totally are. About 15 years ago the klan was posting flyers around town trying to recruit new members. They’ve kept quiet in recent years though. I’d say for the most part it’s a nice town and the vast majority of people here are nice and welcoming. Though just outside the city is a bit different. You got old racist and a lot of meth heads on the outside.
😊 well said. Not sure why people have such a hard time accepting the truth
Your friends are liars just because they're your friends doesn't mean they're telling the truth I don't think you would know the truth if it bite you 😂😂
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 😊
I would almost believe you except for I already lived in Alabama to know first hand.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS and I’ve lived here my entire life. I just don’t see how we are getting two different opinions.😂
@@karlishortsare you white?
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".
Only nice if you're white
i js moved to cullman i absolutely love it here there’s no more hate then in anywhere else in alabama. leave.
Yeah i mean your still in Alabama 🤣🤣🤣
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.
Sundown town
dude!!!
..let her talk!!..u keep cutting her off...
😅👌
I promise you we are not the most hated town in Alabama. Your right.. in the 70s.. what's that.. 52 years ago? You mean to tell me that you believe nothing has changed in 52 years? We have a very diverse community with low crime, high values and morals. That a problem for people I guess. I can think of 10 towns I won't go to if you paid me and promised me a personal seat with God himself. Videos like this are foolish considering you've based this on a rumor that's 52 years old.
Diverse 🤣🤣🤣🤣 oh bless your heart its cute to see small town peoples thoughts
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.
This video is ridiculous 🤣🤣🤣
One just neva know
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS huh?
When I hear Cullman I think of my pawpaw Carl Dillashaw and my family's bbq Lunas bbq. All great people and im planning to make a trip soon. I bet some of your grandparents remember my family. Hard to forget lol
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 live here simply put if anyone from anywhere spends just a few hours in Cullman you would know its full of many cultures/races all welcome and safe 24-7
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 👍
Cullman is horrible. Please don’t come here.
Uhh…. I mean go there.
but really
Not one damn word u r saying is true sir, i am unsubscribing to your biased channel immediately.
plenty of people from Cullman here, read their comments. I am asking questions not making statements.
Look at yourselves before you judge a whole town.You smugness is unbearable.
I agree with you! This video is a bunch of crap! I don't believe this guy deleted any bad comments, if so very few.I have lived from one side of America to the other side and the most racist place were in Chicago.Sure years ago there was racist in Cullman but not these days if so very few.This is my home town that you are blasting and you have no right to judge folks you do not even know.Who do these drive thru think they are? It is people like you who keep the hatred going in this country.
Been wondering who pays to keep Cullman, AL off of the true comments?
The Mayor or Sheriff requires two charges for any criminal or ticket offense!....why two charges? This will be deleted because the truth about this town..OH Can never be revealed!
LIAR!!!!
They say this is a sundown town
And is 😂
USED TO BE! Not now!!
Plenty people from others states love Cullman just show how hateful you two and your friends are towards us
I actually like it tbh
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.
It's still a sundown town
@@trentjackson9793 no it isn't. You are a liar
@@sjb3460 and they passed it down to the next generation
@@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.
@@trentjackson9793 sure is we don’t play out here ar15 with tracer rounds coming playing and find out
It's true there are racist as hell! Just this week I tried to buy a bounce house for my kids on marketplace from a lady down there but once she seen my fb profile she told me it was sold! I'm black
@@LILDREWZIVERT26 it wasn't! I seen her post 3hrs later it was sold!
I miss cullman, my son grew up there. he got a lot from there.
Look man I live in Cullman I am not racist. Cullman is the BEST place in the USA. I love it here
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.
Do you live there, leave us alone!
why would i move there?
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
MAGA 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
I've lived here my whole life it has a history like a lot of places but it's not like that anymore
Nope it’s trash cope harder. The rest of the country laughs at your city. Unless you have a lifted truck you don’t fit in there. The police have had multiple lawsuits for corruption. The city ain’t shit. The college is the only good part, the rest of it is trash and racists
Rock the South road now has 12 more surveillance cameras and 5 new tag readers. Please spend your money on a different event because it's only an as many arrests as possible event!
It looks beautiful to me. Never been there myself!
Thank 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
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.
That's right ✅️
You would never be my friend no your hating us
I’ve lost brain cells listening to this.
Alabama doesn't have brain cells
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
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? 😂🤡
These comments are hilarious like stay blind most of y’all don’t even kno the history y’all wasn’t even taught 🙄
Is it bad there? I have training there soon
Looks like a lovely town.
Thank you.
I live there
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. 😊
Hey I'm here in 2023 and I have your answer whoever this is recording I'm a so called black man and I believe I'm maybe the first one to do this from birmingham alabama now I seen this video before and I thought what if I go to see for myself and tell a story at home because I had gotten tons of rumors about how racist it is in cullman and not to go there day or night so with me being a challenging person I had thought to myself "what if I be the first only so called black to go out there after dark from birmingham" so I had actually went out there at night time about 2nights ago and I had went live on facebook when I arrived in cullman and when I had got out to go into some of the stores and restaurants now I can say this from my experience it's not how I heard for it to be I mean I didn't have any issues from anyone out there even though I felt certain vibes but it went pretty good for me now I would send you my live but I don't know if youtube will let me because a little profanity I said on there but yeah everyone acted normal and there was no problems for me there you go!!!!!😁👍👍👍
Thank you sir! 👏👍
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 🙄

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 😂
You don’t like Alabama, You don’t like Mississippi have you tried Arkansas?

Go back to Florida!!
I live in cullman it’s not like that anymore. Also our Applebees sucks…
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.
Not mean to any ethnic group. People are friendly and respectful.
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...
