But the gathering at Mt. Calvary Baptist Church occasionally grew heated. One speaker said Haitians “have smells to them. They’re not like us. They’re not here to be Americanized. They don’t care about schools. They’re scary, folks.”

Other comments dealt with city police, which some said don’t have enough officers or funding to deal with issues caused by immigration and proper code enforcement.

If the city was able to adequately enforce housing codes, some said, it would cause a homelessness problem.

      And they’re right. But goddamn, so do you, asshole. You’re just used to your own stank. People eat different foods, they sweat, they smell, they’re meat machines. Get over it.

      Open up your brain to experiences outside your tiniest of bubbles, Alabama. Sheesh.

        My mother told me that my father went vegetarian for a year or so (when I was a little kid) and that his dirty laundry smelled different from the rest of the family.
