Not a fan. Tired of them bringing their shitty politics, shitty manners, shitty culture, and shitty accents down here. Happens more and more everyday.

Can’t fault someone for making a buck. But when they inject their out of town sjw bullshite like those Tear Them Down freaks or that douche that owns Courtyard Brewing it gets irritating.

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

Didn’t General Grant ban them from The South post war due to their greedy money schemes?

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

General Order No. 11
quote:
General Order No. 11 was an order issued by Major-General Ulysses S. Grant on December 17, 1862 during the American Civil War. It ordered the expulsion of all Jews in his military district, comprising areas of Tennessee, Mississippi, and Kentucky. The order was issued as part of a Union campaign against a black market in Southern cotton, which Grant thought was being run "mostly by Jews and other unprincipled traders."[1] In the war zone, the United States licensed traders through the Army, which created a market for unlicensed ones. Union military commanders in the South were responsible for administering the trade licenses and trying to control the black market in Southern cotton, as well as for conducting the war. Grant issued the order in an effort to reduce corruption.
Jewish community leaders protested, and there was an outcry by members of Congress and the press; President Abraham Lincoln revoked the General Order on January 4, 1863. Grant infamously claimed during his 1868 Presidential campaign that he had issued the order without prejudice against Jews as a way to address a problem that "certain Jews had caused".[2]

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.

A scallywag was a Southerner who supported Carpetbaggers (northerners who went South during Reconstruction)

Well maybe if more southerners went to college, companies wouldn’t have recruit people from up north to fill all these jobs.
I’m sure my employer would have preferred a local candidate.
I’m kidding.
I find it a little but odd that people care where people move from but I also find it a little odd that people tend to want to change some of things that made the move attractive in the first place (nicer people, lower taxes, lower cost of living, etc.)

I really haven't run into any in several years. People from the west are more guilty of it in my experiences than people from the north are. They don't really bother me unless they're really obnoxious about it. Alabama ranks near the bottom in so many state rankings in things, perhaps the status quo isn't what we need and we should listen to some outside voices.

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.
