23. Let's see. What "southerners" are you talking about?

White southerners? Black southerners? Southerners (like me) who were born and bred in the south, but have parents from another country? Southerners who live in cities like Atlanta and Charlotte, or southerners who live on farms way out in the country? Southern lawyers or southern ditch diggers? Southerners who live near the beach or southerners who live in the mountains?

What a silly question.

I've lived in the south all my life, and I have never seen a "yankee go home banner." Never.

Do you live in Detroit? If not, are the people you live amongst the same as someone from Detroit? How about the same as those who live in Massachusetts? Vermont? Are New Hampshire folks the same as those from NYC?

Laughable. not even a credible attempt at south-bashing. Smh.

Trashing thread.
