...of u from Washington, D.C. & those not....i have a question...
what region of the U.S. do u consider DC as being apart of??
the reason i ask is because I've always considered it as part of the East Coast...or MAYBE even "Up North"...but i wuz talkin' w/ Qua the other day & he damn near got OFFENDED when i referred 2 that city as being "Up North"..he wuz like THAT'Z THA SOUTH...THA PEOPLE THERE R COUNTRY...etc. etc. etc. (he's from New Jersey, lol)
THEN...my Afro-American History professor this morning was talking about something that happened in DC like a half-century ago...& referred to DC as "one of the Southern cities at that time..." yadda yadda yadda...
so i was just like...hmmmmmmmm is it really the South???
whether u feel it is The South or not....which states of the U.S. do you consider are "the South"?? sometimes I question NC's place in this country as well...i don't know if it's The South...and it is technically the most Eastern state of the U.S...but for the most part, it just seems to be....there :?
& what do you consider "Up North"? is that the same thing as "East Coast" to u? If not, what do u consider as "the East Coast"?
& if u want...what do u consider "West Coast" (u BETTA say Cali, for one !!).....& the "Midwest"????
lol the whole grits thing......LOL never thought about it like that...
I mean when we ate @ the Shoney's in Alexandria...those grits were BUSSINNNNNNNN they were cooked JUST RIGHT...and I mean I just put my own salt...butter or whatever in it.....
when I think of the Midwest tho
I think of TEAAAAAAA and how they have UNSWEETENED tea...and not SWEET tea.......**** if I want unsweetened tea I'd rather just have some BLACK coffee
c...4 yearz...being from Cali...i was and still am SO used to SUGAR & butter being MIXED into the grits while it's being MADE....i had 2 go up & get like 10 packs of sugar...& i wuz the ONLY person there doing that...i wuz like..ya'll r some weirdoz, lol
LOL, I'm from TX and my brother and I eat grits with sugar but my momma and granny eat theirs with salt and pepper. When I came to school (in Louisiana) and started doing that people looked at me like I was crazy! I think my momma put sugar in them to make us eat 'em when we were little but my big bro and I never stopped! Man I LOVE me some sugar grits!!!
Anyways, back on topic.. :arrow: DC IS NOT THE SOUTH!!!! My homegirl is from PG county and she's always talkin about she's from the south and we had to politely correct her ****. Just cuz you're loud and country as ****doesn't mean you're from the south..HMPH! She always says "we're below the Mason-Dixon line so we're in the south" but there is nothing about PG county or DC that makes me think "ahh, I love the south." Honestly, I didn't like DC the three times I went up there in the past two years, so HELL NAWL, DC ain't the south! :x
yeah another thing you brought up....DC people thinking they from the south because they are loud and country....AHHHH HECK NAW....being southern also means "SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY" and having just a laid back attitude8) * (and a lil southern charm maybe)....and i aint seen that yet since ive been here from a DC native.....walk on the wrong side of the street or the escalator and see what a local will do to you:lol: .....
a DC person will turn straight NY on you in a minute over that trifling mess...where's the "southern" at then??

GURRRRLLL DC AND THEIR DAMN UNSWEETENED TEA GETS ON MY NERRVVEEESSS....and if they try to shove brisk nestea on me again like that ish is some real BREWED ice tea, imma scream....the only place that serve the REAL tea is across ga avenue and they even named it "southern tea" like our tea is so damn foreign or something :lol:
DC is the north because anything Richmond and below is the south.
We just dont act like the rest of them up north dudes or these down south dudes. We do our own thing. Own music own fashion all that. Who you think started the hooded t-shirt thing? Who u think started the cartoon character on the clothes thing. Who you think started personalized T-shirts and headbands.

UNsweetened tea?? WTF? Nawl, the best tea is that tea you make in the summer time when you put some tea bags in water and let the sun brew it for ya! Slap some sugar and in that junk and you'll be straight! Yeah buddy, that tea'll get ya right! Lipton lemon tea works aight too for a quick fix.
