Eclipse and SkeeWee14, you two are women of my own heart. I am also a down-to-earth-born in the South-raised in the South-educated in the South-pure-country-bumpkin and I ABSOLUTELY L.O.V.E it.
It's good to see that SOMEONE understood where I was coming from. Like I said before, many people who don't live or know ANYTHING about the TRUE meaning and HERITAGE of the African-American lifestyle in the South tend to think that African-Americans who live in the South are these dumb-yes sir-no sir-unmotivated, uneducated, laxed, and slow people who just LOVE being victims of discrimination and racisim. Now what kind of mess is that? But we KNOW that the majority of Southern African-Americans are NOT like that. Some people tend to try and make us feel as if our opinions, beliefs, views, and way of life is at the ABSOLUTE bottom. You guys made my day. I love the South and NO ONE is going to make me feel less than they are or ASHAMED just because I'm from the South. When you look at it, if it were not for many African-Americans migrating to the North in the early, early years, these SAME folks who were born and raised in the North would have actually been raised in the South (where the MAJORITY of their ancestors originate).
