“Carry Me Home”: The Collapse of Birmingham

Birmingham Alabama is 73 percent black and is now the 7th most violent city in America. And, it’s broke.

The big news of the day is that Jefferson County, Alabama – the home of the Birmingham metropolitan area – has finally earned the distinction of filing for the biggest municipal bankruptcy in American history.

The collapse of Birmingham is without a doubt BRA’s crowning achievement. America’s “most segregated city” where the climatic battle of the civil rights movement took place has been transformed into the biggest black hole in Alabama. It has taken 32 years of uninterrupted rule by the Black Undertow to destroy The Magic City.

Bull Connor is laughing so hard from the grave – see, I told you so – that he can be heard from one side of the state to the other. The city fathers who believed they could negotiate with MLK and the “Civil Rights Movement” must be quite proud of themselves on this glorious and historic day in Alabama.As hard as it is to believe now, the Birmingham business leadership once believed that they could compete with Atlanta, and that if only segregation were dismantled, peace with the Black Undertow and the Mainstream Media would allow the downtown businesses to thrive. Since the 1960s, Birmingham has lost the Iron Bowl, five Fortune 500 companies, 40 percent of its population and has been transformed into a city that is 73 percent Negroid-American, over 27 percent of which subsists on the EBT card, and which is now the 7th most violent city in America.
