I’ve never been north, so I was wondering how I may be treated (if any different).
I hate that we are still prejudist against each other.

We have lived in the south from Pennsylvania for 4 years. It seems as though people have a much lower IQ here in Florida.

Being that Thanksgiving originated with the Pilgrims in Massachusetts, I wonder if it is even that popular down south, or is Turkey and cranberry sauce is that popular a food down south or do you eat Ham instead for Thanksgiving or what?
Do grits and buckwheat cakes, or especially cornbread, or Poke Salad play any part in your Thanksgiving?

First its that football dude, now this new money rapper with traumatized dead dogs buried in his lawn and 12 abused pit bulls siezed by authorities. What is up with dog fighting? It is a southern thing, a black thing (because I don’t there is such a thing as a black thing, I could be wrong), a ghetto thing? I don’t get it. I can’t see the mentality, its like a mental sickness. I’d like 10 minutes in a room that dastardly man and I’d show him what it feels like to be abused. And no, not THAT type of abuse either.
Hmmm, I don’t know how the question wound up here, I thought I picked just general society/culture.
