to BE a DAMNyankee you MUST:
1. BE one of the LOUD-mouthed,10-15% of northerners, who are truly south-HATERS,
2. BELIEVE that southerners & the south are INFERIOR to the north & northerners,
3. BELIEVE southern institutions are NATURALLY inferior to similar things/places "up there",
4.BE an UNthinking, sanctimonious BIGOT &
5. BE unwilling to learn the truth about the south & southerners.
as my grandfather used to say: "a DAMNyankee is a BIGOT & if they were NOT prejudiced against the southland, they would be some other sort of empty-headed BIGOT".
IF you would prefer NOT to be called a DAMNyankee, then don't think/act like one.

I don't always agree with you, watie, but darned if you didn't hit the nail on the head with this description!
Change ‘North’ to ‘South’ and you’ve just described yourself down to a tee.
