As someone from Atlanta who lives in Richmond VA I don’t consider it the south either. I know we got history and shyt but no one here talks like they do in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, etc.. they lowkey sound like northners. Even the older blacc folks

The East
Is he talking about music or geographic wise? Music wise, we were way more influenced by NYC/East coast music. Geographic wise, it's always been a weird debate for decades. At face value looking at the map we're definitely in the south but definitely doesn't feel like it though. You start getting that "southern vibe" more toward the south of VA entering NC. VA itself is split into 2, Northern VA is very different from Southern VA.

That's cause you're in Richmond, drive an hour west or south and then talk to people.
I live just outside of Richmond now but grew up in the southwest part of the state. I always considered VA southern.
But Virginia is kind in purgatory when it comes to region. I go down to Atlanta, Florida, Mississippi, Alabama, Texas and I say im from VA, and local brehs say Im not from the south. Even had a dude in South Carolina say I sound like im from New York.
But of course to cats from NYC, Philly, Jersey, etc, VA is the south and they say I have a country accent.

You must be a New York nikka, anything outside of NY is the south to them
DC nikkas pronounce the word area like 'urrea' and carry like 'curry'
Drive a couple miles out in VA or MD and you still see confederate flags
DC is definitely the south
You’ll see confederate flags in PA too, does that make it the south?
Everyone sounds like Northerners compared to you slackjaw country ass Atlanta accent folks though.
I mean that with all due respect by the way

1000% facts, and thanks for the Book recommendation. It really shows what media and propaganda can do. Both scary and sad
And I find it hilarious this thread has multiple posts about the Civil War as "proof that slavery was only in the South", when one of the main reasons the Civil War started was more to do with the US wanting to fulfill the Manifest Destiny colonialization as they headed West. The main talking points was when each territory eventually became a State, would it become a Slave State or a Free State. It was around 1850 when Iowa, Wisconsin, California, Minnesota, Oregon, Kansas, etc etc were all in debates if Slavery were to be legal there, because they needed "balance" in the Union of Slave vs Free states
Unless the Coli wants to say all those States I mentioned are part of the South, then by all means lol
yep on eastern standard timeThere was slavery in New York, NJ, PA, and Massachusetts
So are they considered the South?
