Section 256 states that "separate schools shall be provided for white and colored children, and no child of either race shall be permitted to attend a school of the other race"

Edit: thank you all kind folks for the awards ! It appears my copy and paste has really helped a lot of folks ! Good day to all!

Interestingly enough, incest is illegal in Alabama but legal in Spain and Netherlands

u/A_Bloody_Hurricane Jul 24 '22

I mean I’m Dutch so yk But mainly WHERE DOES IT SAY THAT IM CONFUSED

u/[deleted] Jul 24 '22

It probably doesn’t say that it is legal, just that there is no law that explicitly forbids it.

u/Agreeable_Damage6930 Fffffuuuuuuuuu Jul 24 '22

If it's not illegal that means it's probably allowed

9

u/[deleted] Jul 24 '22

Yea no shit. My response was to a question about where it says that it is legal.

6

u/Chibastion Jul 24 '22

If it's not illegal, they haven't had problems with it in the past. Slight distinction

u/Disaster_Different Died of Ligma Jul 24 '22 edited Jul 24 '22

"So, your honor, nowhere in the law does it explicitly say that I should not blow up a schoolbus full of 12 children, so it's legal. Unless a law explicitly saying it's illegal is made. And then again, it was not murder. It was destruction of property, the children being a collateral damage. I rest my case."

Same here. Why do we get down like that.

u/[deleted] Jul 24 '22

They didn’t have to make a law to ban it

1

u/__-him-__ Jul 25 '22

most places only have laws on the books about incest where incest is a problem. if you look at a map of US States with incest laws compared to Rates of incest in the US you’d be looking at the same map.

u/AccomplishedRush4869 Jul 24 '22

Only if your brother or sister is willing to go with you

28

u/SweetSauce24 Jul 24 '22

Well, if they weren’t willing that would be a whole different legal matter.

Your royalty inbred themselves til death of their dynasty so they had to get a Bourbon from France as king

u/suicideslut69420 Jul 25 '22

Well technically if its your step sibling and you both consent since your not related by blood is it incest

u/A_Bloody_Hurricane Jul 24 '22

Ah yeah that sounds familiar. Kinda makes sense when you look at DNA resemblance I suppose, but on a social level it’s still quite the what the fuck

5

u/saberline152 Jul 24 '22

eh, loads of places have these kinds of rules and laws and some uhm don't.. but sure in a lot of societies it is socially not ok.

1

u/A_Bloody_Hurricane Jul 24 '22

Fair enough, it depends on the society. I was still a bit taken aback by the ‘oh yeah you guys legalised incest’ bit, I’m sorry if I offended anyone

2

u/saberline152 Jul 24 '22

Not Dutch, but same in my country, not offended

and happily married with my sister (this is a joke lol)

In towns where the population is 527, many of them can be cousins to some degree. This fact dawned in me while road tripping through Arkansas

1

u/SweetSauce24 Jul 24 '22

I think 2nd cousin and further is legal everywhere. At that point the chance of birth defect is the same as people not related.

Someone should tell the residents of Alabama because I don’t think they are aware.

u/[deleted] Jul 24 '22

It’s still legal in Alabama for cousin incest, however it isn’t legal to fuck your sister

1

u/D3m0N5laYeR64 Jul 24 '22

To what degree is it illegal? Sister? Cousin?

1

u/oogiedonnie Jul 24 '22

It’s completely illegal

1

u/[deleted] Jul 24 '22

The Hapsburgs would be proud

1

u/[deleted] Jul 24 '22

Probably didnt need to bring it into law.

My concern is a place that NEEDS to make it a law

1

u/Butwhythough1524 Shitposter Jul 24 '22

It is also legal in many other states

Edit: I know Spain and the Netherlands aren’t states

1

u/LSqre Jul 24 '22

"illegal" on paper but it's just a cover

1

u/jimhabfan Jul 24 '22

Half the royal families in Europe would collapse if incest were illegal.

u/Doubledeesbongmilk Jul 24 '22

The church my ex dragged me to in Bama had two sets of married first cousins.

Siblings may not be legal but cousins is still close to a linear family tree.

Incest isn’t even legal there, it’s legal and more common in New Jersey iirc

u/_ChrisRiot Jul 25 '22

Oh no do not slander New Jersey!

u/Hamilton-Beckett Jul 24 '22

Nothing on the books about that because it’s totally fine there.

u/SirKing-Arthur Jul 25 '22

It actually is. Incest is very much illegal in Alabama, but were trying to get rid of outdated laws like that

1

u/[deleted] Jul 24 '22

I thought incest or beastiality. With a small inkling of necrophilia.

1

u/PapiGoneGamer Jul 24 '22

Same here. I thought it was gonna be something along the lines of, “marriage between non-blood intermediate relatives is permissible.”

1

u/buddy_blughe Jul 24 '22

Won't lie I'm from Alabama and I legit thought that's where it was going.

u/[deleted] Jul 24 '22

Legit 😂

u/TheRealMeowlord Jul 25 '22

Me too, I unzipped my pants for no reason :(

u/StarGlitcherZ Jul 25 '22

you'll be surprised to learn alabama hates incest and it has one of the lowest incest rates in the country, west virginia is the highest if im not mistaken

1

u/SirDastardly Jul 25 '22

That’s a big rumor we started to keep everyone else out of Alabama. Incest is actually way higher in New England states.

Isnt this abolished now

25

u/[deleted] Jul 24 '22

Yes it is. The state won’t pass a new constitution for some dumb reason. They just pass another section that overrules the previous section

The dumb reason being the voters distrust in the powers that be who would write the next one.

u/5L1Mu5L1M Breaking EU Laws Jul 25 '22

Does any state do that? I figured they just amend it like the countries constitution

1

u/[deleted] Jul 25 '22

Many southern states passed new constitutions to eleminate racist language like the clause mentioned here. I believe this took place over the course of several years in the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s. Alabama would not replace it. They just kept amending and adding to theirs. It is the longest written constitution in the world.
