as a black person looking down on southern culture is kind of mjpls

[EBK String]

especially since that's where America black culture directly descends from. The food, vernacular, music, etc. When I hear a black person with a thick southern accent I find myself getting on some and that's fukked up because that's how most of our ancestors sounded. Us blacks not from the south have to stop looking down on our southern kin because if our ancestors didnt migrate our we would be them.

The South is the nucleus, but the Midwest (Motown) and East Coast (Philly, New York, etc) play a significant role.

Not related but I heard the best AA women are in ATL or further down VA.

Most blacks in the south are bamas. They're just not as sophisticated as blacks up north, though they try their best. It's not to acknowledge that, since doing so opens us up to a discussion of why blacks in the south are so backwards. Clearly, it's a byproduct of white supremacy, the result of living in the former confederacy.

[Dr. Hibbert's Revenge]

though i'm not aa, i'm inclined to agree.

i saw a study linked here earlier this month demonstrating that black people in the south have a lower % of white admixture on average than their brothers and sisters in the north/west.

the south also preserves a lot of african cultural and linguistic influences that can't be found anywhere else in america (gullah is just one prominent example).

neither of those facts is meant to suggest that black people in the south are culturally "blacker" or "closer" to their roots, however. i just find it strange that black people from the north look down on their southern cousins when the great migration began only 100 years ago. 100 years is a drop in the bucket.

I'm not downing black people in the south. Both of my parents are from the south. I just recognize, from my experiences with northern and southern blacks, the the former always seem to be more learned and sophisticated. My mother told me that they started their family up north because they preferred the culture of black people and the opportunities. They also felt we'd have a better education up north, which I don't disagree with.
