From the 2001 album Southern Rock Opera. I didn't see a video up for this song and I thought it deserved it's place so I made one. Excellent story telling rock.

  • @swohlforth you completely missed the meaning of it. DBT is showing that racism is no more common in the S. than it is in the N. in private, but some people see it as a political necessity to play off the race issue. Thus Wallace being a progressive until he lost an election to a segregationist. So he flips and becomes a segregationist to win. But later in life he revert back to his real view. They are trying to say that racism is dead as a practice but the idea lives on thus keeping it alive.

  • Sorry DBT but Hank Williams was THE GREAT ALABAMA ICON

  • Brilliant. Great video, to a fantastic song.

  • it's thang, not thing. 

  • it's easy to prove MLK was a marxist, it's easy to forget the NOI and Malcolm X were pro-segregation too.

  • @Chisumisfregginsexy So, you're accusing me of being backwards, ignorant, and outdated? All I did was post facts. If you don't have any facts of your own to refute what I said, then you're the one who's backwards, ignorant, and outdated. Btw, the term "outdated" is relative since trends, ideas, and fashions tend to repeat themselves every 20-50 years. Please elaborate what you mean.

  • @Sistarovat So how does it feel to be bass-ackwards ignorant and completely outdated?

  • George Wallace wasn't a racist. He was a segregationist. I smell niggerlovin' on the breath of this Yankee trying to immitate a Southern accent. The "Civil Rights" Movement was nothing more than a non-violent, communist revolution.
