Im so sorry. Really, just very sorry. Here entitled Yankees like the NYTs Ginia Bellafante thought the American South existed to give Millennial Brooklynites a place to reproduce Park Slope, but more affordably, and now weve gone and ruined it for them with our deplorable social and religious views. Bellafante writes about how pro-life legislators are screwing things up for these expats:
The New South was a term conceived in the aftermath of the Civil War to suggest a set of aspirations of some southern elites who hoped to rebuild a backward and devastated place into a world better aligned with Northern urban values.
Over the many decades, it has acquired various layers of nuance, but today it tends to call to mind a string of cities from Charlotte, N.C., to Austin, Tex., that have essentially been Brooklynized by way of a progressive social culture and a tweaked fidelity to some of the Souths more marketable traditions.

Yes ,please go away and stay. We do not want to be Vermont on a regional scale.
The South as a culture is doomed. From the Latin Americans moving in, to white Yankees, and African-Americans moving back “home”, they will colonize and transform as what they did to Northern Virginia over the past 2 generations.
To which I would only add: "Bless your heart." :o)

The movie “Remember The Titans” is a pure period piece. The ALexandria, VA it depicted is no more.
Blame Lincoln. He is not the hero that history props up.
Why does the link at the top say “UK Daily Mail” yet take you to a blog? Did you do that deliberately?
Mistake on my part.
I still think Alabama and Mississippi are too repulsive a place for northeastern/CA transplants. It is why we chose to move here. Of course, my neighbor just moved in from Hollywood, CA so maybe I’m totally wrong. He spends most of his time telling me how racist he finds the folks. Since most in my neighborhood are transplants, I guess he’s insulting himself.
All those jobs Rick Perry boasted about taking from California came with voters attached. Just remember that when Texas turns blue in the next few years.
I was just up north in Virginia. this weekend. That whole DC suburban area (MD included) really is swamped with Hispanics and 1st Gen Africans
Yes, they change their location, they don’t change their attitudes. That must be the definition of stupidity.
I beg to differ. I have seen Northern families move down here only to have their children grow up to drive pickup trucks with Confederate Battle flags in the back. Being “Southern” is a learned Culture. We will be just fine!
Stand your ground fellow Southerners... Been living in Yankee territory for over 30 years now, and I can tell you, you don’t want what they are selling...
Not to mention Yankees don’t have a clue how to Fry Chicken or make BBQ.
Indeed beware of unknown blogs.
A case in point, I visited the News Thud, or whatever it’s called, from an article link on FR and a day later found myself subscribed to it and its sister operation, receiving spam ‘news’. I have unsubscribed, but if they honor the unsubscribe request, it will be a surprise.
They have already ruined Virginia.
