i was just in Dillards in JAX yesterday looking at suit jackets. A pale Cac came over (:mjpls:) starts coming over to help and sounding like a plantation owner. They still pass that shyt on to their ilk. It'll be around.

I'll be honest %90 of white people in Houston city limits ain't of "southern" stock at all. They from post-1965 northern and/or european migrant stock.

White ATLiens are more southern than white Houstonians.

Black Houstonians are more southern than black ATLiens, tho. :sas1: Yep, I'm standing on that.

GA vs TX is a completely different story before anyone tries to go there. :hubie:

Fun fact: Houston(and Austin for that matter) had a higher proportion of slaves within it's city limit than Atlanta the decades before the civil war.

Ain't no geechie version of Frenchtown, 5th ward, Houston in Atl. Geechies preferred to migrate to FL and up north than atl.

I'm from Chicago, people who arent from Chicago or the South say I sound like I'm from Mississippi. People from the south know I'm not from the south.

Women love my southern accent :jawalrus:

It only comes out when I say certain words but you can tell I'm from Texas
