    Southerner here and I’ll say you were right, up until your last paragraph.

    Just remember any southerner is one thought from God away from stabbing you in the back at all times

    This part however, is bullshit.

    We’re not all the same and that you would suggest so actually pisses me off. Replace the word “southerner” in that sentence with any other group of people and see if you still find it acceptable.

      Fucking lol at hateful idiots stereotyping an entire geographic area. I’m sure in their minds it’s completely different than stereotyping people because of their race/creed/gender/whatever.

        I lived with them long enough that the shadow of a doubt has its own lamp. I’ve heard racist and misogynist shit from people I’ve known for a decade or more who never had a sign of it before.

        Yep, I’m set with it. Fuck em. Worth it.

          Yeah that’s called “prejudice” and isnt a good quality.

          Swap “southern” for “black” or “gay” and see if you’d be proud to make that same claim.

      I’ll be goddamn. I’ve seen family members ousted from a dinner table, in my own fucking family.

      Maybe in your pampered version of the South.

      In mine, they leave and never come back or speak to you again and all the old folks wonder why, while forgetting the last 60 family get togethers’ arguments.

        “Pampered version of the South” lol I grew up in Bum-Fuck, Florida and have lived in various southern cities as well as spending much of my youth in random rural areas.

        Racists and pieces of shit exist everywhere and I’m not denying that. Your blanket statement regarding all southerners is where I take issue.

        Don’t forget you said you were a southerner yourself, so am I to expect God will speak to you at any moment and turn you into an even more prejudiced person or…? Because if that’s a true statement, which it isn’t, you’re saying you yourself should never be trusted. And if that’s the case, why should we listen to what you, who is just another Southern, backstabbing, secret Bible thumping, homophobic, racist (accordng to your own flawed statement) have to say anyway?
