I HAD to live in the south for a few years when my husband took a job there (Memphis) and it was the biggest NIGHTMARE I have ever had to live!!!!! Southern people do NOT like us yanks and they make you KNOW it too! NOT even in UPC/APOSTOLIC/PENTECOSTAL churches....they do not like us outsiders....especially ones married "outside of ones own race" ????? What the heck race do they think I am married to???? God made ONE race....the human one!!!!!!!! I was called a "n*****-lover, wetback ? lol, that indian looking girl, the mixed woman with the black husband and mixed kids" ...... oh the list is quiet long and most hilarious!!!! 99% of what I was called was by CHURCH people. I do know not all southern people are ugly and mean....I have met the most wonderful southern lady ever who I consider not only a good friend but my sister.....Mrs. Cindy! But .... as I have seen first hand, the majority of the south is very closed minded towards us yankees. As my Gramma used to say, there are always rotten grapes on every vine, but if you dig thro the thorns and brush, you will find the ripe, juicy and sweet ones~ They were always worth finding and even worth all the scratches and scrapes!
Yeah we are!
