re: What do Southerners here think of carpetbaggers?

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.

Prefer to keep my distance from those North of the Mason-Dixon line

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.

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

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]

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

Git on here! Git!

Black Oak Arkansas

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.
