There seems to be an inordinate amount of racism around the Huntsville Alabama area, and I can't help but wonder if that's partly due to the legacy of operation paperclip.
I guess if we can't find any examples of racism in Alabama before 1946 your theory may have legs.
Yeah as if Alabama needed any help with being racist.
Lmfao, you mean "rural Alabama" as the area around Huntsville??
Racism? There?? No way
Yeah it’s called Alabama. No one should live there. It’s a terrible place.
Nazi racial theory was actually significantly less extreme than Jim Crow-era racist policies in many ways -- i.e. blood quanta vs. "one drop". Ex-Naxi rocket scientists were likely to have had a moderating effect on southern racism.
