Please explain why northerners and coastal hippies are enamored with mocking the south

Lack of creativity and independent thought.

Southerners and especially people from Texas have this sense of pride that to me is interesting. I live in the upper Midwest. When I'm traveling & people introduce themselves & state where they live, others never have the same enthusiasm & pride that Southerners do. It makes me wonder what I'm missing, & I'm a little envious.

Also, there are so many good movies based on the South as well as good music/bands from there. They have culture the rest of the country seems to lack. The South has to have the record for the most movies set in its location in this country.

Yeah, because defending innocent human beings from deliberate slaughter is a touchstone of barbarism, n'est-ce pas?

Not human beings, brother.

My Grampa was from Texas and flew a Texas flag out on his farm in Kansas until the day he died. I always asked him if Texas was so great, how come he never went back? I never really got a straight answer.

You southerners don't seem to get all teary-eyed about the value of innocent human life when you are hoo-rahing every single US foreign invasion

I'm from the north and live now in the south. While north, rarely heard any comment regarding the south or southerners. Down here the population of natives is paranoid against anyone who is not from "arund here" but hold a special level of distrust of anyone from the north.

Pretty much. Given how immoral southerners are (look at the divorce and unwed pregnancy rates), poor (look at income), and education (look at the test scores), you can sort of understand why they have such an inferiority complex. There is also the shame that most of them have of being descendants of traitors..

We don't think poorly of southerners.

We don't think of them at all.

I'm a northeasterner, not a southerner. I think every assault on an innocent human being is unjust. And I think the US and many other entities resort far too easily to violence.

Canine embryos and canine fetuses are canines. Feline embryos and feline fetuses are felines. And human embryos and human fetuses are humans.

And I'm not your brother as long as you advocate homicide, killer.

It's because Northerners and coastal hippies are actually scared of real diversity. They drive through the deep south & see towns that are 65% African-American & they get scared. They're used to their so called comfortable lilly white, fenced in neighborhoods up north or on the coast. They couldn't hack it in the deep south.

I like those Southern Girls with the way they talk. They knock me out when I’m down there.

The only thing I've heard mature northern say is something like "They think they're still fighting the civil war. Grow up!"

I think it's everyone grow up and just enjoy your life. Make life better for everyone.

I'll believe a 6 week old fetus is a human being when the IRS lets me write them off on my taxes as a dependent.

Georgia: 55% White

NY city: 43% White

California: 38% White.

tell me again about the lily white coasts and 'real' diversity?

CLUCK! CLuCK!

The regional divide in this country is mostly due to politics. Those in densely packed cities are going to have a hard time understanding the needs and lifestyles of those in more rural settings. Someone who has lived their life in a polluted, densely packed city where an education is an essential job requirement is going to have a completely different view on things than an individual that grew up surrounded by farms, oil rigs or steel mills where education tended more towards work trades. It is this cultural divide that led to the civil war, not some noble desire to free slaves.

Precise.
