Yeah, sometimes considering some of the people from the South cutting them off during the Civil War wouldn't have been a bad idea. Then again I was born in Maryland which is right on the border I think.

I live in the deep south, and I f***ing hate the Rebel flags, venerated Confederate monuments, and similar bullsh**.
That "duh South w' rise agin!" crap seems quieter than it was in the 80's when it was fashionable for rednecks to have bumper stickers to that effect (albeit bumper stickers spelled with surprising correctness), but you'll still see the occasional 'tard with one.
Personally, I think we should build thousands and thousands of copies of the troop monuments that were vandalized (using money from the taxpayer dollars of former Confederate states), and use a portion of the copies as torpedoes against Rebel-flag-wavin', South-will-rise-again-bumper-stickered hick trucks.
That'll learn 'em.

Somehow South Florida manages to bypass that "southern" mentality, but once you get into central and north Florida, stand back! It's a white pickup with a axe-handle in the rear view mirror kind of world.

Well they do call it the border state. Technically it's the south, but I've always considered it the north. I never paid attention to what side the Mason-Dixon Line it was.

And then you have Texas, which is just a bizarro world unto itself. But we have quality Tex-Mex, and that makes everything all right.

The reason Maryland is "technically" the South is because it is located "south" of the Mason-Dixon line (aka, the Maryland/Pennsylvannia border).
"Somehow South Florida manages to bypass that 'southern' mentality..."
Probably because it's populated entirely by retired northerners.

Coming from a Tennessean, this South will rise again crap is one of the most mind bogglingly stupid things that ever gets spouted out of someones mouth down here
Especially on a college campus populated nearly entirely by rural (IE Redneck) dudes.

A misconception at this point.
Lots o' Cubans though- it's becoming a serious discrimination issue in Miami (as no one can get a city contract if they dont happen to have a spanish last name).

Are you serious? Even if you're a born and bred American? Damn man. You guys need to do a better job of sinking those illegal immigrant rafts
