Why is Louisiana so divided?

I hate everyone

They don’t shite on other regions to the extent that LA does.

There’s a lot of shite to go around. Maybe that’s the heart of it.

Go tell that to an Alabama and an Auburn fan.

People would rather hate than love.









...and Jesus wept.

To be fair, Houston hates Dallas. We don’t know why tho.

Based on the responses, this is still holding to be true. So the answer unanimously seems like there’s just no state pride.

Born and raised in South Louisiana, currently live and work in North Louisiana. They are not the same state

Generally speaking, people from north Louisiana have FAR more in common (religion, cultural norms, accents, etc) with people from Mississippi, Arkansas, Texas than they do with people from, say, Lafayette, SE Louisiana, etc. Now, I haven't spent a significant amount of time in every state in the US, but the only state I can think of that may have such a sharp cultural divide within the state is North v. South Florida.

I don't think there is so much a feeling of "hate" between north and south Louisiana folks, as much as an acknowledgement that they are very different.

That is such a lie. South Louisiana makes fun of North Louisiana way more than the other way around.

Well yeah obviously. No other state or region in the country is like South Louisiana. But it’s still the same state.
