Yeah, but us Louisiana assholes are better than the West Virginia assholes.

Well, they aren't exactly Southern—they're the only state to secede from the Confederacy, after all—but they are Appalachian. Except they pronounce that in a way that you would probably consider offensive.

[LuFins Dad]

Wait, did @89th really just try to claim he’s a southerner because he lived in Fairfax, VA?

[Rainman]

The people that pronounce Appalachia correctly are the same people that mispronounce Oregon. Yet, everyone that works at the Oreo cookie plant (even in Virginia) pronounces Oregon exactly right. Go ahead, try it: eat an Oreo cookie and say "Oregon." Works like magic.

LOL I like to remind Jolly from time to time that I was born and raised in the south. Gotta draw the line somewhere…

Show me your buckwheat cakes and then we'll see.

You chaps all look the same to me.

I also said I thought the song was whiny and yelly, but said I like folk music in general. Jolly claimed I was born wealthy, which isn't true. I guess my dad could’ve recorded a song in the woods, in front of a deer stand, what a coincidence, complaining about taxes and fatties on welfare. Heck, the content isn’t untrue… but I guess he found a way to make money. The American dream!

His voice reminded me of Chris Stapleton’s intonation and style when he was with the Steeldrivers.

Half the buildings and most of the streets in Fairfax are named for southern heroes.

General Lee marched his troops through Leesburg before crossing the Potomac to invade the north. Those guys certainly claimed to be southerners.

There are regions of Boston that are more southerner than Northern VA from 1980-2020…

Shucks... North of Shreveport = Damnyankees.

Well hey come on that's not true. Look at this recent photograph of a Fairfax Virginia farmers and ranchers association meeting:

Here's one of old Colton up on Little River Turnpike turnin' soil:

I mean, even most of the farms in western Loudoun have been gentrified.

the farms in western Loudoun

They all became winery, wedding venues.

[jon-nyc]

I love the smell of gentrification in the morning…

I guess conservatives first liked him, now he is getting bad feedback from them because he said this on a Fox News interview:

“We are the melting pot of the world and that’s what makes us strong, is our diversity. We need to harness that and appreciate it and not use it as a political tool to keep everyone separate from each other.”

He just can't win. LOL
