I be living in the deepest of the deep South ya'all.

You're right that the South will not rise again but all ya'alls consider
the country to be divided into two parts - even after nearly 150 years.
It's a heritage that we just can't seem to shake.

I spent a couple yrs in TN, back in the 60s. Almost got jumped by
hippie hating rednecks a few times, which was pretty funny cuz I was in
the military and the closest thing I could sport anywhere near to
hippie getup was a moustache. But, it got me in trouble more that
once.

I actually miss a couple things about the South, but that "gonna rise
again" nonsense is not one of them. I figure Southerners cling to
their past glory so desparately primarily cuz thay got nothing else to
be pround of. Really, they do, but they listen too much to other
ppl's perception of them and gives them a poor self image. Granted,
some of it is warranted and their own doing, but it makes for a sad
and unnecessary take on life.

Yep... that is deeply ingrained. Here in TX and in Louisiana (and I
assume other Southern states), the Civil War is still referred to as
"The War of Northern Aggression."

I learned real quickly after I moved here that you don't crack jokes
about the Civil War because someone is going to take grave offense if
you do.

In Shreveport, LA... up until 2 years ago the Stars and Bars still flew
outside the courthouse and it took a lawsuit to get that stopped. It is
not that uncommon to see the Confederate flag flying outside some homes
and businesses.

Also in a Shreveport cemetery, there is a grave that has a flagpole with
the Stars and Bars flying. The flag has to be replaced often...
Shreveport is 50% African American.

"Oh, that's how it is over here." When I was in Florida, it was "why the

That's pretty inflammatory. I prefer the milder "War for State's Rights."

Sooner or later, we'll all get together. Interracial marriages will
break the walls down eventually. We need to get together to fight the
real enemy - people that want to control poor folks. They just love to
pit people against each other.

I don't know. You'd think they'd never seen an Asian type person. I had
never had that happen before. Bad vibes man!

That reminds me of the time that my brother-in-laws pick up Bob Dylan
who was hitchhiking. He told them his name was Robert Zimmerman. They
didn't know Bob Dylan from Joe Blow since they were living abroad for
years. The brothers developed trouble with their truck and went to a
repair shop. Everybody stopped and stared when they walked in. My
brothers asked Bob what the deal was and he said "I donno, maybe they
seen a ghost." They got their head gasket replaced for almost no money.
I recommend that you always take Bob Dylan with you when you need your
car repaired. Who knows, you might get a discount.

It's just a straight black line on the horizon. Rumor has it that it's

Not being "Southern".

It's a weird social paradigm. If you fit, a good 'ol boy will die for
you. If not, jes might kill you. I found this to be the total
opposite of the almost universally tolerant Left Coast, where no one
gave a damn whether you were grn, wht, alien, etc. Why, Cuz they
didn't really care about you, AT ALL! Lose touch with a really tight
longtime friend in CA, in six mos it's like you never existed. Yet
every single person I met and became friends with in TN, even for as
little as 6 mos, came all the way out to CA and visited me within two
yrs. I realize a lot of this was, "I know someone in CA. Let's go
see it". Still, the CA mindset is, don't see 'em fer 6 mos .....who?.

Try being a nine year old little blonde girl in Bangkok. (That is *not*
intended to sound dirty!) It's considered rude in Thailand to touch a
person on their head. But everyone wanted to touch my hair. It was
white-blonde and wasn't something they saw very often.

That's funny! I can imagine Dylan saying something like that. Just so
everyone is clear, Bob Dylan (Robert Zimmerman) isn't dead, unless being
72 years old qualifies. ;) Now I've got an earworm. Knock knock
knockin' on heavens door...

I must be in a weird spot on the map. There doesn't seem to be any form
of resentment, name calling nor I would term "attitude" in this area.
(Saint Helena) That might sound odd considering since the American
Civil War started in SC. But then then again, the first African
American school after that war was built on Saint Helena Island, just a
few miles from my house. Built by hand by former slaves and an historic
landmark.

There's a major thoroughfare in Beaufort called Robert Smalls Parkway.
John asked me who was Robert Smalls? Good question! I didn't know the
answer. So I looked it up.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Smalls

Born a slave, elected to the House of Representatives as the first black
Senator after the Civil War. He later owned the mansion where he was
born out back in the slave quarters. He graciously allowed his former
"missus" to live there. The mansion is now a B&B

Where I live now, the general area, most people are exceedingly friendly
and polite. I never hear the N-word. I rarely encounter any rudeness.
When I lived in Memphis, blacks called each other N- all the time. I
never understood that. I don't hear that sort of thing anymore.

My daughter married a Filipino and their daughter is Asian looking.
Driving in the south she was often stared at, but not because the kid
is cute. (she is) A couple of times she was uncomfortable.

I can remember them doing it here, or some of them anyway in the 70's and
80's. It was okay for them to call each other that, but a white person had
better never do that!

Yes, I have seen it (and indeed I am on it) but it doesn't mean a lot to
me. For example I know Mr D is in Hawaii, but I don't have a clue where it
is. Of course if I needed to know I would look it up, but I have never
needed to. It's one huge country you've got there.

Probably style of dress. And I think the women tend to have more of the big
hair than we do up North. I know when I moved to Cape Cod and wore tie dye
I stuck out like a sore thumb! The people there were still wearing preppie
even though that went out here with the 1980's.

There's a lot of Filipinos here so it's a different experience for them
than on the mainland. The further South they go, the more likely they'll
be mistaken for being Mexican. My Filipino co-worker, who was raised in
Hawaii, had some trouble getting back into the states when he went
across the border. That really bugged him because nobody questioned his
identity in Hawaii and he used to have a top secret clearance when he
was in the Air Force. Welcome to the USA.

Make that "Welcome to the Mainland"... and let's face it, Southern
Californians are every bit as racist as the rest of the South,
probably because so many of them migrated there from the deep South.

When he said he was a singer, my BIL asked Dylan to sing. He had to cut
him short because he described it as awful caterwauling. That must have
been a funny scene. OTOH, we both used to listen to his "Oh Mercy" CD a
lot - it's great!

As I recall, it's bad manners to touch the top of a Samoan kid's head.
This could be important to know.

My favorite BD tune is "Like a Rolling Stone." It has the unique ability

Actually, these days...it's not good to touch the top of any kid's head
unless they are your own.

I suppose you're right. My Japanese American classmate from high school
married a haole woman and they're living in North Carolina. He said they
get funny looks too but his belief is that the people there are so
relieved that she didn't marry a black guy that it's relatively OK,
relatively. :-)

This is a very good point. Personally, I don't like most kids being in
my vicinity.

I'm a parent and I like kids. Many little ones in my neighborhood but sadly
I feel it's important to avoid talking to them. Society these days equates
that to being a child molester.

One Halloween a few years ago, I just got home from work and was still
sitting in my van. A little boy going to the car parked next to me started
talking to me....all excited about Halloween. So I politely talked to him
too. I was just being friendly.

Moments later his mother came out and she just GLARED at me big time because
I was talking to her son. jackass mom....but at the same time, for all she
knew I wasn't some nice neighbor. sigh.
