Maybe you should to. Because I didn't hear anyone say that all the rednecks in the South are Northerners in disguise.

Wow this got out of hand quickly, I guess the Tampa folks have very thin skin. All I said is that based on my 4 day binge in Tampa and getting lost on Dale Marbry, Tampa seemed very white trashy. From what I have heard and as I told you before is that I have only heard great things about Tampa and therefore I will give it a second chance. That's all I said. Plus Tampa isn't too far from The Redneck Rivera. As for the whole where is more white trash located argument, the south takes the cake in this department. Since I have lived in Boca and Louisiana I have seen more white trash than I will ever see in the north and since I am surrounded by yuppies I never see white trash up here in Milwaukee unless I go to West Allis. There wasn't a lot of white trash in Boca of course but Ocala and all through out my travels all over Florida.

BTW: I love Florida and count down the days until I can move back. So don't think I am ragging on Florida or Tampa but their are just more white trash people in the south and it's very obvious although Ohio really makes a strong case for being the "south" upnorth.

I doubt that Tampa folks collectively have "very thin skin". I'm not even from Tampa and if you had bothered to read the posts you are commenting about you'd know that. I just dont appreciate when people with no room to talk decide to do just that. It was an offhanded remark based on 4 days of drunken douchbaggery. Good for you.
The stereotyping of the south is getting really tiresome. The northern cities and towns have millions of rednecks and white trash. You need look no further than your own region if you are going to rip a place as "very white trashy". Look at the houses in your own city. Last time I visted Milwaukee it was the only large city outside of Tennessee or Alabama where people leave old office furniture and couches on their front porch and park vehicles on thier front lawn. Feathered hair and poodle 80's hair is still in style there apparently.

Milwaukee is also known as "Mulletwaukee" and there are more rusty old trailer parks inside the city of Milwaukee than alot of cities. You can walk around downtown Milwaukee and see white trash chainsmokin' trixies and goobers galore. Parts of Chicago, Cleveland, Minneapolis/SP, Dayton, St. Louis and Detroit are infested with white trash. One of the Chicago suburbs is known as the mullet capital of America.

All this in a nicely put well thought up rant that makes you look like a dope. I don't see what's so upsetting about me saying "white trashy" and then I said "when everything I hear is nothing about but good things about Tampa" So If you don't live in Tampa or live in the south did you move to Lower Manhattan from the south? If not I don't see what the big deal is. Way to do a double breasted back flip of the deep end.

Wow - you really don't know Milwaukee at all. Please read this article (if you dare). You really are buying into stereotypes aren't you? Once again, in your efforts to defend, you are becoming the bigger basher. By the way, I don't know where a trailer park is in Milwaukee (it's a pretty urban city, you know).Hear the vroom at the new Harley museum in Milwaukee - Travel - LATimes.com

Actually, Tampa is nowhere near the 'Redneck Riviera'. Panama City and Tampa are 244 miles apart.

What are you being so thin skinned about buddy? Here's the way it was I think. You labeled Tampa FL as "very white trashy" That's fine Milwaukee City. It's your opinion and you even tried to balance out your insult with a backhanded compliment about others telling you Tampa's a great place.

Then, I gave my opinion which is also fine. It included some facts about many citizens of the northern cities (live in urban trailer parks, furniture on porches, people stuck in the 80s, mullets, older model rusted out cars, trixies still trying to look like Paris Hilton, "whiggers" trying to rap about their white plight) Other posters agreed with me. If you live in a glass trailer park, don't throw stones. This apllies to YOU.

White trash is an American thing today, not just a southern thing although the term was especially used in the south early on. Redneck is still exclusively a southern thing. Dig?

White trash in areas north is even seen in popular culture. What do you think the show Rosanne was about? She lived in some hick town in Illinois. What about Married With Children? They lived in the city of Chicago. Woody on Cheers was white trash from Indiana. Mimi from the Drew Carey show was the ultimate white trash figure. I'll even go as far as to say that Lavergne and Shirly and Lenny and Squiggy were white trash. It's not like urban white trash is some foreign concept. You don't need to turn on a TV to see it. Look around you there in Milwaukee today. Turn on your local news tonight.
Yes I have been to Milwaukee as well as all the other cities. Extensive traveler right here! woohoo? Not some homer who wears blinders and drinks the local kool aid. Head up to the Philly Way in Milwaukee. Check out the trash running the counter if they are still there (probably). Go to Real Chili and check out the crowd. What about Miss Katy's Diner? White trash any time I 've been. I was at a Brewers game once at Miller Ballpark where a white trash nutjob was trying to climb the stadium wall next to the ticket booths. What about the suburbs too? Cudahy. South Milwaukee. Yes I know about Milwaukee. I don't know how many trailer parks and white trash corner bars I saw in Milwaukee. Maybe hundreds?

Here is a nice definition of the white trash male for you. Perhaps you can find the midwest connections...

Males are perceived to be white trash if interested in stereotypically "manly or macho" things, such as sports, tattoos, body piercing, especially hunting and motor sports, guns, tobacco smoked and chewed, alcohol, mostly beer and sex. They tend to avoid anything that could be considered girlish or feminine, such as fine art, ballet, or even fine food.

Sure it does. Don't you be thin skinned either. Chicago's in the midwest and is home to plenty of white trash and urban hillbillies from surrounding states, I'm sure you will agree. It's not to bash on Chicago, which is a cosmopolitan looking city, it's just the truth. Therefore it fit into the discussion that myself and Milwaukee City were having (if you can call it a discussion) When someone from the midwest calls someplace else in America "very white trashy" the rest of the country smirks and says, uh yeah, whatever. It's no use trying to speak the truth on this forum. People here are in a fantasy land where all the white trash is contained by an imaginary border wherever fits their supposed argument.

I don't believe that you've ever been to Milwaukee or any of the cities you're talking trash about. Where exactly are you from, since you're obviously too embarrassed to list it on your profile? You only post in City vs City, which makes me think you're just a troll. Either that, or your own city's forum must be really boring. LOL @ Detroit being full of white trash. You're aware the city is 80% Black, right? 60% of Milwaukee residents are minorities and the white people are either college students, yuppies, or recent immigrants from Eastern Europe. Not exactly mullet-sporting Appalachian trailer-trash.

FYI, there isn't a single trailer park in the City of Milwaukee. People in Milwaukee don't have furniture or cars parked on their lawns. Comments like that only further validate my suspicions about you. Cities like Milwaukee and MSP are very Germanic/Scandanavian and would never allow such things. In the winter, people get ticketed for not shoveling their sidewalks within a day or two of a snow storm. In the summer, people get ticketed for letting their grass get too long. Do you really think the city would allow people to have trash and old cars on their lawn?

According to you, NYC and Chicago are full of white trash and rednecks, which I find hilarious.

Corner bars, yes. Trailer parks, no. Now you're just lying. Funny that all the restaurants you mentioned have websites that can easily be found on Google. With the help of the internet, I can pretend to sound knowledgeable about places I've never been too.

Apparently you have a much broader definition of "white-trash" than most. Sports, piercings, tattoos, hunting, motorcycles, snowmobiles, guns, drinking, smoking, and sex aren't activities enjoyed exclusively by white-trash, I think most men tend to enjoy those types of activities. Also, taking part in the aforementioned activities, doesn't preclude one from enjoying high-brow things like museums, plays, concerts, or nice restaurants. Now you're just making yourself look ridiculous.
