...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"????

My roommate and I had a debate about this the other day. Cuz she's from Philly. I'm from Miami. She said DC was apart of the south and I'm like "WHAT?!" :? :x DC doesn't even feel nor look like the south. DC is technically considered to be the Northeast.
I think people north of DC (like New York, Philly, Jersey, etc) get confused and look at DC as the south when it ain't.

ANDRE 3000 is NOT SPECIAL
If you got some sense...AND you seen the prototype video....you can clearly tell that nikka is SPECIAL ED.

dc is just DC....dont noone wanna claim that gogo mess or them jacked up tight ankle jeans
the girls wear, nor no damn bright colors or "beating of the feet" or high socks and timbs,
or wearing clothes with 50 DIFFERENT SPORTS TEAMS LABELS sewed on em, or boxer shoes
.........nah DC IS JUST DC...its just its own lil universe cause it certainly aint the south
:? :?
oh yeah , YOU CAN ALWAYS tell where the south is when you enter a country family diner or
something and you ask for grits and they dont have any and suggest hash browns instead...or
they give you grits and they dont give you no butter or salt and youre
left hanging and they looked shocked when you ask for some ....DC

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
EXACTLY...
there is NOTHING about DC that reminds me of the South...NOTHING...
when i think of "The South"...i think of "the country"....& i think of DC as "the city"...

Oh yeah, to me the south is North Carolina on down to Florida and west on
over to Texas.
yeeeeeeeahhh...that's pretty much how i've seen it...
but i've always been a lil' confused about Florida too....i also see Florida moreso as "the city," rather than the country....but all of the states around them r like comPLETELY "the country"

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!!!

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??
lol, preCISEly...
peepz from tha South r, 4 the most part, friendly....pleasant....cordial & whatnot...& DC folkz r like tha comPLETE opposite...

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.......B*tch if I want unsweetened tea I'd rather just have some BLACK coffee
:lol:
i have 2 be like the only person in the entire WORLD who does not like ANY kind of tea....eSPECially the type of tea that people sweat in tha South....4 me 2 drink tea, it has to taste like lemonade, lol....one of them teas in a can joints taste like that...i don't know if it's Lipton...or Brisk...but whatever it is is off tha CHAIN....it has to have like a sweet-lemony taste to it....

What if you're familiar with the Norfolk/Virginia Beach area, is that area considered the South, the eastcoast, or what? I'm not sure of that.
lol ummmmmmmmmmmm thought it was always understood that VA is the South...
maybe not...
i think that when i think of "Southern states," i think of the ones that have a stereotypical "Southern state"-type past....or, in other words....their condonement of racism....beliefs in segregation...slavery....Jim Crow Laws...anti-civil rights for Blacks....things like that....
so the states that ALWAYS come to mind to me when i think of SOUTH....are....South Carolina...Virginia....Alabama....Mississippi...Georgia...Lousiana....ummmmmmm...
Texas, yeah...but i mostly think of Texas being Southern b/c the people there have exTREMEly country accents
& i don't know...Florida just never seems to fit in...
& what's West Virginia? i guess that'd be considered the South, too, huh? who even LIVES in West Virginia?!?!? have u ever known anyone from West Virginia?!?!?! i sure haven't :lol:....

yeah it could be that...or maybe it could be that people south of DC get confused and look at DC as the north when it ain't, lol
