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.

[@soul2deep578]

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.

[@lynnglidewell7367]

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.

[@angelasmith404]

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.

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.

I have lived all my life, except for the 3 years I lived in Vacaville.

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.

@@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.

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.

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?

[@hailervin]

Because most of them are Yankee outsiders and Californians with extremely racist and conservative viewpoints but no one wants to bother mention that.

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.

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.

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.

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.

And that man was a part of my life for a long time, he would come over for bbqs, stay for the weekend etc. I never once was taught to hate someone based on their skin color, and no one that I know was raised that way either. A few months ago, I was driving down the road and saw a little boy walking alone on a very busy road. He was probably 7 years old and was African American. I didn’t see his skin color when I drove past him, I saw a little boy walking alone in potential danger. I stopped and he let me give him a ride to his home which was 20 minutes away!! Not once did I think about the color of his skin, all I wanted to do was make sure this little boy was safe. We are good people, still trying to prove that we are NOT our ancestors.

So many people are moving here from all over the country because they hear such great things about the people here. Every outsider I’ve spoken with says the people here are very hospitable and friendly and that’s why they love living here. There are so many people from blue states moving here for a better life and to enjoy our southern hospitality! I am hoping they vote red since they’re leaving their blue states because they are tired of the way of life in those states! I won’t subscribe to your channel after listening to you bash our town because a few had bad things to say about it but I’m glad I have the opportunity to speak some truth here! Have a blessed day!

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.

Look man I live in Cullman I am not racist. Cullman is the BEST place in the USA. I love it here

[@BobTheToadSage]

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.

[@TrollLawyer]

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.

“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.

[@TrueGeoride]

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.

[@OneManCanStopTheMotorOfWorld]

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

[@LaurynGlasgow]

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!

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!!!

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.
