ITT we talk like yankees.

[911medic]

And no, Chicagoans aren't Yankees.

ROFL...wrong. I know, you northern guys think Chicago is the Midwest, but down here, Chicago is as Yankee as New York or Boston.

Your foolling yourself if you don't think there are rednecks in TX...trust me there are. TX is not condisered West, it's considered South. California is West.

This poster ^^^ has it right. California, Nevada, etc. are "west"

Texas isn't a western state to southern people. Texas fought for the Confederacy and has a star on the flag, therefore, Southern.

I agree Chicago is yankee area.


But TX is the west, Cowboy hats originated in TX and it's deemed western wear, Even the state of TX labels themselves western. The tourism slogan for TX is come to the "old west".

UGH...you are making me mad now. Come to TX and ask around, no one will agree that it's the west. We consider ourselves Southerners. Now stop!

Prostitutes consider themselves classy, but the stretch marks on their lips say otherwise.

Hmmm, my point was I live in the north and have never heard of it called pop. And I suppose someone would say that - if they lived in Texas. I have to say, I have never commented on the weather of a state thousands of miles away.

So are there still racist groups in the South? I know the Ku Klux Klan originated in southern states. I'm glad most of them cults are gone, they were not right in the head.

[tryn2getstrong]

Texas is west, not southern.

Texas does have a bunch of rednecks.

[erinlee01]

Doesn't every state have rednecks? I know NY does.

[LilRed03]

When I think of Texas, I think of cowboy boots, cowboy hats, cacti , ranches and saloons. LMAO maybe that's not the best/most accurate vision...but um Texas = west to most other southerns.

[tyranire]

Redneck is a state of mind...kinda like hippie

[wide lats]

Mmm, i think they would be called skin heads in the U.K. if its the same thing.

I reckon a redneck carries a shotgun, wears torn dungarees and a bud baseball hat, and called Ellie-May if female or Edgar if male ...

Definition:

The term "Old West"

The American frontier moved gradually westward decades after the settlement of the first white immigrants on the Eastern seaboard in the 1600s. The "West" was always the area beyond that boundary. Scholars, however, sometimes refer to the "Old West" as the region of the Ohio and Tennessee valleys during the 18th century, when the frontier was being contested by England, France, and the American colonies. Most often, however, the "American Old West", the "Old West" or "the Great West" is used to describe the area west of the Mississippi River.

What the hell did I say that made you think of racist groups? The Confederacy?

There are racist groups everywhere, not just in the south.

No mate, the Dukes of Hazard is the closest i been to Texas, so i sort of go from there, and someone saying "Hey your late for your clan meeting, butt face!" i guess it was the KKK they were talking about ???

Actually the KKK is headquartered, or was, in Indiana, ie a Yankee state.

The KKK meets 3 miles from my house.

I used to have to visit a worksite in deep south one time, and we were in a this urinal of a bar after work one day next to the base. I'm a foreigner, with a bunch of foreigners (british), and we didn't get the affiliation of the confederate flag with the KKK in certain parts of the world. So a bunch of the guys though 'cool, I'll buy a hat with the confederate flag on it that I can take back to scotland'.

So this old dude walks up to us in the bar and says "I like you scottish folk" and the guy next to me says "yeah, why's that?" and the old fella says in a straight face "cuz we don't like them ******** neither..." and nods at one of the guys wearing the confederate flag hat.

You could have heard a pin drop in the bar, we were all in complete shock. The next day people were told they couldn't wear anything with the confederate flag on it to work or anywhere where there was people from work.

Wierd, most of the people that I know that have Confederate Flags aren't racist at all.

[Twerp]

Ahem - let me re-qualify that this is the absolute middle of nowhere in the deep, deep south.

I'm not trying to generalize, and I know it's not representative of people from the south at all. It was my first experience in my life.

[911medic]

Right. To most southerners, it's only about the history.
Idiotic groups like the KKK have desecrated the Confederate flag to the point where it's automatically a symbol of racism. Damn shame.

[Twerp]

Absolutely, I was more making reference to the bar I was in than I was calling southerner's racist.....
