Who will win in Alabama?

Tone Talks has released his today regarding his views on the Alabama issue. In his video he pulls up a Newsweek article about a UN official more or less suggesting Alabama has the worst poverty in the Developed World he has seen.

So I looked and pulled up that Newsweek article. Democrats and Republicans will only believe UN officials if they are making a negative claim about a country they want to set fire and misery too like Syria or Russia.

My thing is I've seen--circa early 1990s--the 19th century-like poverty of small black town Virginia in some rural area. In fact I would not blame anyone for not believing me for I had a Marine roommate from Philly at the time, who told me about this kind of rural poverty and I just assumed he was exaggerating a great deal. Then I happened across it, with cotton littering dirt roads, and saw to my great shock it all with my own eyes. I though I was driving through the 1800s. Shacks tilted to the side, outhouses, no electricity, no running water. Damn crazy.

So, I doubt this UN official even saw that but rather people in rural Alabama living in run down mobile homes.

Tone recommends blacks don't just give votes for free with no demands that blacks in Alabama be helped.

"I think it's very uncommon in the First World. This is not a sight that one normally sees. I'd have to say that I haven't seen this," Philip Alston, the U.N.'s Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights, told Connor Sheets of AL.com earlier this week as they toured a community in Butler County where "raw sewage flows from homes through exposed PVC pipes and into open trenches and pits."
