re: What do Southerners here think of carpetbaggers?

I am a good ol' Rebel
That's just what I am
And for this Yankee nation
I do not give a damn

I'm glad a fought again her
I only wished we won
I ain't asked any pardon
For anything I've done

I hates the Yankee nation
And everything they do
I hates the Declaration of Independence too
I hates the Glorious Union, tis drippin with our blood
I hates the striped banner, I fit it all I could

I rode with Robert E. Lee, for three years thereabouts
Got wounded in four places, and I starved at Point Lookout
I caught the rheumatism a'camping in the snow
I killed a chance of Yankees and I'd like to kill some more

Three hundred thousand Yankees are stiff in Southern dust
We got three hundred thousand before they conquered us
They died of Southern fever, and Southern steel and shot
I wish they were three million instead of what we got

I can't take up my musket and fight em down no more
But I ain't gonna love em, now that's for certain for sure
I don't want no pardon for what I was and am
I won't be reconstructed and I do not give a DAMN

I don’t know any, so I haven’t thought about it.

I work in Huntsville, AL with a lot of Yankees. They are annoying as can be. I think what annoys me most about them is their lack of common sense combined with their arrogance due to their education.

They are some of the dumbest educated people I know. They'll argue for hours of over the minute details of shite that doesnt matter, yet cant see the solution to a huge issue that is staring them right in the face.

Being educated doesnt make you smart. It just means you have info.

Git on here! Git!

They have almost completed transforming New Orleans into a generic hipster city with a cookie cutter culture.

Sad really.

Kind of funny listening to them go on and on insisting that their dry, conformist culture is "real New Orleans."

Authenticity does not have to be affirmed every 2 minutes. If you have to constantly reaffirm your authenticity, it is likely you aren't authentic.

Even the last bastion of genuine New Orleans Y'at culture, Mid City, has been losing ground quickly.

Ironically, the places they mock as not being "real" New Orleans - Jefferson, St Bernard, lower St Tammany Parishes- are actually much more culturally New Orleans than Orleans Parish at this point. Architecture or not.

On the rare occasions I'll go to Trader Joe's in Metairie, I wonder how many of these smug Yankees with out of state license plates recently posted a condescending fb message about how much they hate Metairie.

Meanwhile the Metairie Y'at with the Mary statue on his front lawn just got finished eating his home made red beans (recipe from great grandma who lived in the upper 9th) with an ice cold Bud Heavy or Dixie poured into a small chilled glass.

He don't give a shite.
