To go back to the beginning of the thread.
I love to go barefoot and proud of it! It is warmer in the South.
There are red necks everywhere. Go to a tractor pull in Los Angeles and look for yourselves.
The North actually is way more segregated than the South. In Detroit and Chicago for example the races live pretty separately, not in case in Nashville. I was shocked the first time I visited Detroit, I found it amazingly racist. Still. My G/F is from upstate New York, they did not even go to school with anyone Black or Latino, in the 70's and 80's and her family uses the N word (she does not).
Actually NEW YORK used to be the center of slavery, it was just earlier than in the South. Slavery came to the South with the cotton gin much later on.
Black slaves built the White House and most of our country, its not just the South who had slavery.
The confederate flag? Yes, most people see it as racist, I don't fly it. I did however see a Vespa with a confederate flag on it the other day and almost wrecked laughing.
I love Nashville, it is a great place to be.
It makes me angry to hear about people in the South being dumb and having a bad rep. Come on, everywhere has its drawbacks.
