Soul Strut

<blockquote class="Quote"><div><strong class="bc-author">The_Hook_Up</strong> said:</div><div> This person, in their little whiny ass tantrum goes from the civil war to TVA to gay marriage and tries to instill some sort of reasoning that  they have the moral high ground because  he/she lives in the northeast. He judges AN ENTIRE GEOGRAPHIC REGION, a region that gave the world jazz, soul, rock n roll, and some of the greatest American literature, cuisine, in short, culture because of the civil war, TVA, and an anti-gay marriage sentiment stemming from some churches. Now you bring up the fucking confederate flag like EVERYONE in the south is flying the motherfucker...all with some bullshit intellectual slant about "if you cant recognize the cultrual differences blah blah blah"  There are fucked up people on both sides of the Mason Dixon.  No side has some sort of monopoly on shitty policy nor a monoply on refinement.  Like I stated earlier it is out in the open in the south, but it is there in the north, in the militias, in city councils, everywhere...yeah a lot of northerners dont put it on a bumper sticker, but it is there.<br />

	Of course we both know this.<br />

	I just think it's funny that Southerners can't seem to see the humor in this piece, and think the guy is totally serious.  He's responding to all of that "Real America" crap and I think it's very funny.  That he also does it with a strong factual basis and points out some very real, peculiarly red-state hypocrisy is a bonus that makes it all work.<br />

	A Southerner could write a similar piece about the North and you wouldn't see Northerners all honked off about it in a forum like this, because Northerners don't usually give enough of a shit to get pissed over a comedy piece.<br />

	David Cross grew up in Georgia and some of his material on the South makes this rant look like a puff piece.
