Hater here. Born in the South, always lived in the South, love the South. Absolutely hate the Zip E Doo Dah South, Happy Darky South, purposefully mispronouncing words or misspelling to be “Southern”, picking cotton South, being behind a mule South, professional Civil War loser Southerners, Big Daddy South, and down in the lowest pit with the Zip E Doo Dahers—no air conditioning South.
I embrace it all.
It is all a part of who I am.
Don’t be a hater!
