Most “southerners” aren’t from the south. You’ve been invaded by outsiders. Continue with your delusions.
What’s the problem, son?
Just who are the invaders?
Who lived here 500 years ago?
How about the Northeast and Midwest?
How did New York get so Italian and Jewish when it used to be German and Irish?
How did Yankee Boston get Irish?
How did South Chicago get black? Or Watts? Or Detroit? Philadelphia?
Sure, people move...
Are you claiming that I believe every single person in the South directly descends from Robert E. Lee and General Jackson? LOL! Because such a claim is what’s delusional.
My definition of a Southerner: Some who lives in the one of the following states:
Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. Texas straddles between Southern and Southwestern.
If you think I want to see the rise of the Confederacy then you are mistaken. However, I was only addressing the OP’s claim that the South is full of gangbangers and meth smoking rednecks. It ain’t.
Just like New Yorkers can be proud of the smack talkin’ but kind hearted Italian from the Bronx, Southerners tend to be proud of good ole boys. Even when in almost any case, none of them are.
