"What about southern accents. They gotta go too?"

Didn't one of the colleges recently tell their female students that they can no longer wear "southern belle" style dresses at school events? Like women's fashions of that time period (which mostly originated in France), were a symbol of oppression and slavery. The same style dress was worn in the north. Dumb asses. Next they'll go after Civil War re-enactors.

There’s a southern accent, where I come from
The young’uns call it country
The yankees call it dumb
I got my own way of talkin’
But everything is done, with a southern accent
Where I come from

Now that drunk tank in Atlanta’s
Just a motel room to me
Think I might go work Orlando
If them orange groves don’t freeze
I got my own way of workin’
But everything is run, with a southern accent
Where I come from

For just a minute there I was dreaming
For just a minute it was all so real
For just a minute she was standing there, with me

There’s a dream I keep having
Where my mama comes to me
And kneels down over by the window
And says a prayer for me
I got my own way of prayin’
But everyone’s begun
With a sou thern accent
Where I come from

I got my own way of livin’
But everything gets done
With a southern accent
Where I come from

Southern Accents except for the rare country accent will be gone in a century

Many GenX and millenial kids are brainwashed into losing their accents and instead they’ve adopted valley girl accents

It will hold out longest in cotton states and Texas

It’s already uncommon in Nashville amongst the finer zip codes

In the country side you hear a hillbilly country accent and in white trash areas it’s a wigger/redneck slang

Some Nashville burbs it’s Kurdish or latino first

In the affluent burbs it’s yankees who say Y’all
