I just noticed that you put this in the race-relations section. Why?
Didn't know where else to put it.

Sure! C'mon down!Yankees stay up north. Damn yankees move down here and irritate me. Big difference.
Is that an invitation for me to come and stay at your place! Oh a road trip would be fun we can take NLT with us and go visit several of our mutual friends. I'm so excited!!!!!

Well, sort of. Lately we have a distinct subspecies I call "tame" or "domesticated" Yankees. These usually come down here to get away from the mess they have made up there, and the politics that caused it, as well as the climate.They seem to take readily to our way of life (most of them in fact, enjoy it), and after a period of adaptation, usually fit in well here (once we teach them what seasonings are for, and not to boil everything to death). These are completely harmless, and some of them can get to be almost Southern after a few years (though I have yet to cure any of that dreadful accent, which grates upon a Southern ear like fingernails run across a chalkboard).

North vs South?
First let me say I am not trying to pick a fight or rehash the Civil war,I'm trying to understand something that I thought was long dead. I'm a Northerner born and raised and very proud of family and heritage.
Recently I have been encountering some remarks about people up North from folks living down South that weren't nice to say the least. My sister, whose Ex- in- laws are from the Carolina's, tells me it's common, or at least it was with her inlaws, to make "Damn Yankee" comments.
I'll be the first to admit the North East is very rude and obnoxious or can seem so to people who don't live here.The further North you go the worse it gets. I've been in the South several times but never encountered this prejudice face to face, but on line it seems to be prevalent.
It's 2012 the Civil War was in the 1860's and I gotta say that most people in the USA did the major immigration thing in the early 1900's and their family's weren't even here during the Civil War. So here's the Question. Why the long standing animosity with Southerner's toward the North? Seems as silly to me as blacks going on about Slavery when they never were slaves or American's getting testy about the Brit's over the Revolution. Why can't this country move on?

I've learned to appreciate the people and the life style. I attend the races in Talladega and I own a Rebel flag. I've even gotten used to being called Mister Ernie.
I know the difference between "y'all and "all y'all". I know that crawfish, crayafish, crawdads and mud bugs are all the same thing and are good for something other than bass bait.
I'm beginning to be able to communicate in Alabamian but I still need to consult google translate from time to time.
I LOVE it here!

pop is something guys who wear wife beaters give their wives when they don't do the dishes.....I'll be happy to sit down and have a soda with ya though.
