  • I think you need to draw a map of what you consider to be the South, because it doesn’t agree with literally any definition I have ever heard or any map I have ever seen.

    I have never, ever heard anyone say Florida, which was literally in the Confederacy is not part of the South.

    And now you’re actually trying to claim that parts of Georgia aren’t in the south. You are sounding nuts. I hope you realize that.

    Seriously. One map. I can find plenty that say you’re 100% wrong.

    I admit I can find maps that don’t include Kentucky. I have yet to see one that doesn’t include the parts of the Appalachians that are in Georgia.

    Even the U.S. government doesn’t agree with you.



  • Okay, then if there is not one monolithic Southern culture, I’m not sure what your point is.

    Amongst multiple other Southern cities, I’ve been to Knoxville. I’ve been to New Orleans. I’ve been to Birmingham, I’ve been to Atlanta and I’ve been to Jacksonville. If you think any of those cities are remotely the same culturally, you were the one who drove through without stopping. And if any of those cities fail your “The South” purity test, well I doubt most of the people there would agree.

    Incidentally, calling Jacksonville either “East Coast” or “Caribbean” is fucking hilarious.





  • I’m 47. No it hasn’t.

    Not only am I 47, I’m 47 and married to someone who’s family goes back to Indiana from the mid-1800s, mostly the Owen County area.

    It’s the South. It is. You go to Kentucky or Tennessee, it’s basically the same culture except they get to call themselves Southern. Even most of the traditional food is much more southern. Grits, okra, cornbread, you name it.
