Redneck vs Southern culture

[Richmondbread]

I notice a lot of Europeans see the American South and immediately think of the "rednecks"

While there is certainly a redneck culture of the South due it's more rural nature, that isn't really the same as Southern culture, as rednecks exist in the Northeast as well as the West Coast and middle part of the country. The difference being, rednecks in the North have accents.

But the Southern culture is more about a kind of old Anglo culture that is complexed by African influence and the long awkward interaction of Anglos and African slaves as well as a propensity for good manners and respect and a sense of community. While the North was industrious and individual minded, the South was agrarian and more community minded. I compare the Southern culture to that of Scotland- which it pretty much is. Although, ironically, the South has more of eccentrics than in the North, where Southern families don't hide their crazy people, they put them out on display, Northerners send their crazy relatives to "shrinks" and never talk about it.


Southerners have more state pride than Northerners. Northerners are proud of their city. Their hometown. But Southerners are proud of their state , as well as their county.
Still, Europeans have a monolithic view of the Southern culture as simply "redneck" and unrefined. Maybe that's because they have never been to the South.

There is a prejudice towards southern Whites that is pushed by Hollywood and has been since its founding. How people think of groups is greatly dependent on how those groups are portrayed in Hollywood.

Some Hollywood Jew spends 10 minutes in a Mississippi airport and think he's an expert on the South.

Propagandists target the groups that are most likely to oppose globalism. That's why they enlarged the scope of their ire from the South to Middle America, and it's why the commie mob enlarged their targets of vandalism from Confederate statues to historical American statues, and we all know why Stalin statues remained unscathed.

A lot of stereotypes are based on truth. I can't help it if it's kind of true about Jewish Hollywood.

When was Virginia ever considered "South" (by Europeans)?

It was traditionally more like the South in terms of culture and economics. And of course Virginia was one of the Confederate states during the War of Southern Repression*. In fact, Richmond was the capitol of the confederacy. The beloved General Robert E Lee was a Virginian.

That said, over the last hundred years or so, Virginia has culturally transmogrified into a Northern state. Thus RichmondBagel is no more Southern than a Jew from Hollywood.








*Civil War, although there was nothing civil about that war

So, being 6 percent Jewish, you follow the example by assuming that growing up in Yankified Loudoun county somehow makes you an expert on the South?
