Alabama has been the home to much racism towards Blacks.
The song "Sweet Home Alabama" was actually written as a response to the song "Southern Man" by Neil Young about the racism from many of the Whites towards the Blacks in Alabama. Therefore, Alabama ain't so sweet.


Southern man better keep your head Don't forget what your good book said Southern change gonna come at last Now your crosses are burning fast Southern man I saw cotton and I saw black Tall white mansions and little shacks. Southern man when will you pay them back? I heard screamin' and bullwhips cracking How long? How long? Southern man better keep your head Don't forget what your good book said Southern change gonna come at last Now your crosses are burning fast Southern man Lily Belle, your hair is golden brown I've seen your black man comin' round Swear by God I'm gonna cut him down! I heard screamin' and bullwhips cracking How long? How long?
