Unfortunately you have dipshits who automatically call you a bigot for "being proud" of being from the South. Those people are what's wrong with this country, not a fricking flag.
Well, white pride and southern pride are synonymous for much of the country and you can really blame the assholes of the KKK for that one. I don't think that having Southern Pride makes you a racist, plenty of black people are super proud of being from the South as well.
I'm just curious because I don't really feel any sort of connection to Mississippi or Alabama, except for occasionally being butthurt when we're all lumped together as inbred rednecks.
It is hard going to places in the Northeast because being from the South, we really are taught to be friendly and polite and that's not really the case everywhere. I smile at strangers when we make eye contact and people up north think I'm trying to frick them or something because of it. Sorry my mama raised me right.

That is looked at as strange in much of the North and other areas.

I always thought people were lying when they said women outside of the South go crazy when a guy opens the door for them. Until I visited London and you would have thought I was some amazing gentleman with how the girls reacted. Immediately asked my name, where I was from and what I was doing. All because I opened a door and had a southern accent.
