Apparently the belief or claim is that a southern accent is some kind of “redneck ebonics.”

There are so many flavors of Southern accents - Appalachian, Virginian, Gulf-area, Southeastern/coastal Georgia/Florida, etc.

I enjoy all of them, as I do the accents of my friends from New Hampshire, Jersey, Minnesota, and other fine Northern states.

To say Thompson's accent is redneck-ebonics is funny, but pretty inaccurate. My granny from the great state of TN wouldn't take too kindly to that notion!

of course.

don't you KNOW that all us southerners are PERMANENTLY INFERIOR to northerners??? at least according to the mainSLIME LEFTIST mass media we are & forever will be.
