I haven't lived in the south since I was old enough to move away.
Does that answer your question?

I certainly do. Ancestors settled in South Carolina after coming to America. They fought in the Revolutionary War. Migration to Mississippi was next where they prospered. Yes, I have Southern Pride. I advise anyone that has the interest in the purpose of The South to read:

You don't see anyone retire and move north do ya? The south is the best. Plain and simple. At everything. Food. Sports. Women. Everything.
Weather causes better looking women and year round sports FWIW.
And the food is arguable. New York, Boston, and Chicago are world class food cities. New Orleans is insane obviously.
Soul food is better down here because black people, that I'll agree with.

Have you ever been north? When you hold a door open for a woman, she assumes that you don't think she's capable of opening it for herself. She assumes that you are a misogynist pig and that you assume she is a helpless little girl.

I agree. I've been from coast to coast and there's just something better about being from the south. Yes I have southern pride. Am I racist, no, but it seems that if you're white nowadays and have pride in something, it's wrong. Well I'm still proud, my family members fought for the confederacy which by the way was not about keeping slaves, if you study history. It's about states rights which I support and I think most do. I don't need someone from New York, who may live in DC telling me how I should live in Louisiana and what's right and wrong with us. Not the governments problem. Their number one priority is suppose to be provide defense, not worrying about if I'm wearing a rebel flag on my shirt. America needs to wake her arse up and get back to where we were and that means cleaning house in Washington. Republican and democrat alike. Term limits is a step in the right direction. Government transparency and people being held accountable is another and the news media to just tell me the damn news and not put such a lean on it and make up lies ( they have been caught). Study your history people and you will see somewhat of what it must have felt like to live in nazi Germany' a few years before the war when the government slowly took control of the people's lives through propaganda as a scare tactic and laws. God bless this country and DIXIE!

Growing up, my grandfather, my dad, even my ex wife's grandfather (whom I knew since I was 14), have always spoke of "Southern Pride". Maybe it isn't as popular as it once was, or maybe people are too dam spineless to stand proud and say it, but Southern Pride is still very much alive. Read the history books, Civil War wasn't about slavery, it was about Northern greed and looking down their noses at southern folk. Just like Lynyrd Skynyrd, said to Neil Young.. "a southern man don't need you around anyhow.." opinions are like assholes, if you don't like mine, kiss my a-hole!

Yeah, I have southern pride. I also have Louisiana and American pride.
I've been to Boston, didn't notice any animosity from the northern people towards me while I was there. I held the door, said yes sir and yes ma'am, etc. Honestly, nobody really noticed to my knowledge.
But do I have a certain grudge towards northerners, yes. The way they interacted with each other was kinda off putting. Also, typically the biggest frick ups and bitches in my boot camp platoon were from the NYC, Philly, Boston, big northern cities. frick them.

Men appreciate being called "sir", but women HATE being called "ma'am". Up there, "yes, ma'am" is a sarcastic insult meaning "I hope you die, you old bitch!" or so I have to assume based on the reactions I get when I say that.
Define "the North". I'm guessing you mean the northeast? I open doors for women all the time and almost always get a thank you. I see others do it all the time as well. My kids say ma'am and sir and I get nothing but compliments when we're out in public. No one has ever acted insulted.

My family didn't come across the ocean until turn of the century, so the Revolutionary and Civil Wars were already fought and won when we arrived. BUT, we were quickly immersed into South Louisiana's culture, and, in a larger sense, into the culture of the South. So, even though my ancestors were more worried about Nazis and avoiding large ovens, I felt a definite sense of pride, camaraderie, and community when I attended a Sons of the Confederacy graveside memorial back in the mid-1990s. They had spruced up an old cemetery where a descendant of one of our neighbors was interred, and the ceremony was a rededication of the graveyard itself. There were no overt political overtones, and the attendees ranged from staunch conservative to fairly radical (by South Louisiana standards) liberals. It was a purely symbolic gathering from which no one departed with a yearning to subjugate another race. Rather, I feel like we all recognized the gathering as a uniquely Southern tradition, well-steeped in a respect for the fallen and remembrance of our region's place in history. Certainly it is not a feeling that everyone shares, and there are undoubtedly those who appropriate our history to spew forth racial animosity. But, both in that moment and in times of reflection since, I have remained proud to align myself with the great folks of this great state in the best region of the greatest country in the history of the world. I'm damn proud to be a Southerner AND an American!
