Try being from Alabama, and the first impression people have when you tell them that is that you are a toothless hick with no education, no indoor plumbing, and that you sleep with your sister.

LOL!

I don't think that, but I can imagine you do get that kind of reaction! We all have our crosses to bear don't we!

Thanks to the media who look down their noses on the South and have probably never even been there. I can't stand the phoney accents in those shows and movies about the evil southern white people who want to do nothing but terrorize black people. No matter if it's a 5 year old girl, a housewife, or an old man, in these movies all the characters say the N word several times in every sentance. It's almost like the guys making these movies feel like they have to bash us over our heads to make their point clear. Their point being of course that white southern people are stupid, mean, and generally a waste of space. I'm just sick of that propaganda.
