A United Nations official investigating poverty in the United States was shocked at the level of environmental degradation in some areas of rural Alabama, saying he had never seen anything like it in the developed world.
"I think it's very uncommon in the First World. This is not a sight that one normally sees. I'd have to say that I haven't seen this," Philip Alston, the U.N.'s Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights, told Connor Sheets of AL.com earlier this week as they toured a community in Butler County where "raw sewage flows from homes through exposed PVC pipes and into open trenches and pits."
Of particular concern to Alston are specific poverty-related issues that have surfaced across the country in recent years, such as an outbreak of hookworm in Alabama in 2017—a disease typically found in nations with substandard sanitary conditions in South Asia and Subsaharan Africa.

В сельской Алабаме канализационная вода просто стекает из хибар по трубам в открытые рвы и ямы. И как результат, там заводятся паразитические ЧЕРВИ, которые в норме встречаются только в черной Африке среди антисанитарии. Зато у власти там твердые республиканцы. Что как бы намекает, чем их власть грозит гражданам страны. Стоит заметить, что, естественно, в основном нищие в Алабаме - негры, но у белых ситуация не сильно лучше, если они попадают в такое место
