re: Does anyone really have "Southern Pride"?

I'll bite, yes I have Southern pride. I'm proud that my word means something and a handshake is as good as a contract. Most Northerners that I've met in my life have been lying, conniving, using assholes ... Their word means nothing.

Unfortunately so many northerners have migrated to the South that they're lying ways have been implemented into southern culture the last couple of decades. Also I have nothing against hard-working black people such as myself. I have several black friends that work just as hard as I do and strive to have nice things and live in a good neighborhood with good school systems.

And there is plenty of white trash that take advantage of the system, I even have a couple of nephews that do that.
